I was thinking of a new design for the loading screen.

Crashes to window view and hangs. Nothing reported in Event Viewer and in task manager - not responding.

I would imagine with each crash there is more chance of corrupting files and the situation getting worse.

It's a faulty product!

Unplayable!

Likewise I have been experiencing the slow startup and choppy/low frame-rates. Currently trying to re-run the first two manhunts and the game is unplayable, crashing only a minute or two after play. The last crash, was mid-traveling to the bounty target on the map.

I have removed the shader cache folder and verified game files, but this makes no difference.

The game is bugged. The out of the ordinary low choppy frame rates seem to me to be an indicator of that — not good!

I was prepared to put up with a few bugs here and there, even the occasional crash. However it got to a point where 5-10 minutes in and the game would crash to windowed mode and freeze.

I have tried all the procedures, deleting shader cache, verifying files, shutting down background applications, switching off notifications, installing latest and previous nvidia drivers etc.

I have or had the game running lowest settings, max temps on my laptop were around 65c (getting colder here), 1660 ti gpu in the main hovering around 900mhz and topping out at 1200mhz, so not breaking a sweat.

Nothing has rectified the issue.

You could really do with hiring the services of game testers, preferably remotely and on different spec rigs.

Anyway reluctantly the game is now uninstalled. The game in it's current state really is not fit to be sold.

@V4MPiR1 Thanks for the good advice

So we're just going to remain silent on this, Ubisoft representatives? This update has caused some horrendous issues with players losing expertise levels on everything, items losing attributes, assault rifles losing assault rifle damage, etc... and "Mum's the word"?

I was thinking the same. The famas is often my go to AR. They rarely drop for me and when they do are usually poor rolls, so having a good one that has been optimised and expertise added is a prized possession for me. It also appears that not everyone has been effected, which puts those that have at a distinct disadvantage for PVP.

I have just paid for the season and as @T-H-U-D-D has pointed out, could we please get a response?

@AgentOfDread
> +50% Pulse Resistance from Specialization, +40% Pulse Resistance from 3-Piece System Corruption, and get the rest from Pulse Resistance Mods. Boom, you just removed all of their damage.

According to this video, that doesn't remove stacking with head shots, even with 130% pulse resistance.

Just to add, experiencing the same issues. Dell laptop i7 9750h 1660ti, turbo boost disabled, max temps 70c.

I have tried various things, updated bios, updated drivers, I have tried various nvidia drivers and run various stress tests successfully, have verified files, uninstalled the game completely, downloaded and installed again — I'm still experiencing crashes.

The jeopardy should be can I survive to the end of the mission, not will it crash before I get there!

Used to be absolutely solid, but is now unplayable.

The fact so many here are reporting these issues and over a recent period of time I would say is indicative that it's not a hardware issue.

@v4mpir1 I've been avoiding going back to the summit, couldn't stomach it. The hunters I did on a couple of masks. This really is joyless lol. Will give it a whirl though, thanks for the feedback:)

As someone who has played computer games since the 80's, worked as a 3D artist since the early to mid-90's — long before global illumination, ambient occlusion, sub-surface scattering etc. — it blows my mind where games like the Division are now and all in real-time. It's not taken for granted.

That said can we do without this flannel

Hello @Bagieta997 , thank you for your report. While we are still awaiting the response from the topic starter, could you please let us know if you have tried all the basic troubleshooting steps before switching to windowed mode?

It's patronising and at the very least irritating.

There is another source, I don't know the veracity, but states

The most predominant cause behind the PC stability issues has been identified and is now being tested.

Right now, the plan is to prepare the fix for the Street Activation Apparel Event release.

The ball is in your court.

Just returned after a month or so and no change. Gameplay for a bit, go to do a bit of inventory and system locked. Couldn't event ctrl-alt-delete out of it.

Might as well bang your head against the wall with this game.

Glass half empty, but I suspect the original data for that second attribute is long gone.

I don't have any pictures unfortunately.

Playing on pc, what I did have
170k armour, 10% headshot damage (rolled), 12% crit damage

What I have now.
170k armour, 10% headshot damage (rolled), 14% Repair Skills

Obviously given headshot damage is rolled, I am stuck with the repair skills.

Prior to update 16, I had a nice closer chest piece with max armour, max crit damage with a rolled headshot damage.

Now after the fix I have 14% repair skills in place of what was crit damage.

Farming for keepers is a long winded process, so not over the moon with this. Would be nice to be compensated for the time that went into that.

One positive, I am glad to have my famas with assault rifle damage back.

Thanks

@Crossaber

I brought in a pair of striker gloves from my stash and that piece had the same problem.

Did as you recommended and swapped holster for a petrov and back to striker again and you are right it's working again.

Still needs fixing, but thanks for the workaround, appreciated.

These bugs just keep on coming.

Here I have a four piece striker set where with one striker holster it stacks, with another striker holster it doesn't.

Previously it would crash occasionally during opening menus, inventory etc.

The crashing has got worse since the new update for me. Two heroic missions yesterday, one of which was a stronghold, and the game crashed around 80% into the mission.

The positive is that my backfire build actually held up for a bit of run and gun on an invaded mission, but after the crash, I couldn't bring myself to repeat that mission.

Just for info, for a long while I have been running my game on lowest settings and temps hover around a max of 70c.

I'm sure others here can give you a more qualified answer.

> What better for weapons Skill Tier or increase weapon damage?

I would say it depends on what build you are going for. Is it going to be some sort of hybrid where you are going to rely on the assistance of a drone and turret? If so you may consider that extra skill tier.

If it is a DPS build, maximum damage from range, you could swap weapon handling for headshot damage or crit chance.

I would wait on other opinions here before doing that though.

But no matter how hard I try, there's just not enough time to finish everything on time. It takes me about 4 minutes per task, and running between objectives and fighting Hunters also takes time. So when it comes to the main objective, I usually have only about 5 minutes left on the clock.

I'm new to countdown too, I've only played it a couple of times. Tip is to avoid hunters in between objectives. It's was still down to the wire for me, but you should be able to complete it that way.

There is no button/box to click on when trying to add mods to the umbra initiative face mask. Hitting enter will open up the available mods.
