@dlmthree I literally groaned when I saw the CC this week. I wasn't a massive fan of drinking or dice even when playing for something. And you're right, I couldn't be bothered for 1000 opals tbh.

With the huge amount of bugs/glitches and other problems that everyone has faced since launch, it would be a really nice gesture if Ubisoft made some of the challenges actually achievable.

@snakeeater49910 I pre-ordered the game because Odyssey and Origins were, for me, very enjoyable. So I was playing from Day 1 and had to restart the game twice because of progression bugs. I can appreciate that some stuff will slip through the net no matter how rigorous the testing is just because of the sheer number of combinations of hardware available today. But I can't believe that some of bugs where you can't actually progress within the game weren't picked up sooner.

I'm a middle-aged gamer (and female) so I'll give a little consideration as games have never been more complex or large as they are now. I can remember some of the games I've played which I completed in a weekend and they weren't much cheaper. I played Odyssey for around 500 hours, Origins around 300 and a little over 100 hours in on Valhalla which, touch wood, is still working and I've not hit any further issues as regards progression.

I also don't think you're very fair lumping everyone in together - I know my fair share of older gamer's who are just as bad at trashing companies for the slightest issue as younger one's.

@ladyswampfox I didn't even do any of the Yule related stuff, upgraded the settlement and it's happening every time you start the game or have to reload. It only lasts a couple of minutes but when you need to be able to see to fight or interact, very annoying. I think the effect is too strong and unecessary (on PC)

I'm on PC and unlocked the Angelito car today. Drove it back to the pickup point but don't have the option to respawn it and it's no longer available from the original location. This is why limited autosaves don't work and I don't really see why you've done this, especially on PC.

@ubi-thrupney Hi, I finally solved it by verifying the game files, took 3 attempts but is now working okay again. Somehow the update had corrupted the game files.

I also had an issue where it overwrote the save files and I would have lost progress to date if I didn't back them up manually. The cloud saves didn't work in this case.

Thanks

I had this after the latest update (22/3/22). Game was working fine the day before, updated and then kept getting to the Continue Game menu, would display load screen for 20 seconds and crash back to the desktop (PC).

The only thing that worked for me was to verify the game files, it took about 3 attempts before it would work. Also, I manually backup my saves rather than relying on Ubisoft. Good job because it had somehow overwritten mine and started a new game. I copied my previous saves back and it was fine.

Mine is the same as well. Was working fine until I did the 22/3/22 update. I'm on PC. It loads to the Main Menu screen, I click Continue and after the title screen is displayed about 10 seconds, it just exits back to the desktop. No error message.

@theoriginalbean Just to add to this. It seems to work okay for about 6 big fish and then you get the disappearing behaviour. The blood is appearing on the surface but you dive down and there is no body or anything to loot. As Ishavalian says earlier I believe this is to try and force you to play the minigame as it was intended but not everyone wants to sit faffing like that. Especially just to get specific size fish for mediocre rewards. It was much better when the game first released when you could go in shallow ponds and melee kill. Now fish are non-existent in these areas.

@don_smack_a_lot I had this happen on my first playthrough. I managed to eventually trigger the tablet by reloading a save prior to going in the cave. I don't think it resets, can't be 100% certain but think I tried that as well. Went away did a few other quests, returned and was unable to interact any further or get the tablet.

Reloading was the only thing that worked for me. Strangely, the second playthrough (with male Eivor, first was female, though I doubt that has any meaningful effect on the outcome) I had no issues at all and it progressed as it should. In fact, I've found several quests I originally struggled with do seem to have been resolved.

Got my first avenge mission today and was gutted to realise I'd killed the perpetrators but apparently because they were hidden in a hay pile, it wouldn't let me confirm the kill. Also couldn't get that body back out. First one in over 200 hours of gameplay.

@qizakzix Same for me (PC) but I have completed and got the gear I wanted already. Perhaps they are trying to fix the annoying drunken glitch which is happening on every reload regardless of where you are on the map.

@nickfonseca Have you complete the personal mission for Randvi. I'm not sure if this is scripted to occur at a certain point so happens at the same time within the game for everyone or based off how many regions you've completed. I thought it was bugged for me, having just two regions left but on interacting with her, accidentally asked if she was okay and it started this quest and then allowed me to continue pledging.
