Sorry to bump up the thread, but i would like to ask you if the dev team is aware of the issues and if a fix is planned (especially for the small stutter every time there is an auto save).

Thank you very much, and i wish you a nice day.

@ubi-mark

So there is two kinds of micro-freezes/stutters:

The first one happens almost everytime there is an auto-save (when i open a treasure chest, when i fast travel, when i enter or exit a restricted area and more).

The second one is rarer, usually after a few hours of gameplay and seems to trigger randomly.

My general PS5 settings are all in "Default settings of the game" , sorry my console is in french so "Paramètre par défaut du jeu"

@ubi-mark I have a Gold Edition Digital Copy, and a PlayStation 5 Digital Edition.

Here is a video i captured of one of the random stutter that happens:

@ubi-mark
Hello, quick update.

I did reset my console, reinstall the game and the auto-save stutter didnt disappear.

I went my way to check again if the issue would disappear with my internet connection disconnected, and the issue still remained, which means its not an issue with my ISP.

I did port forward my router with the ports listed in that page and nothing changed. I also want to mention that i only had this issue on Assassin's Creed Valhalla, i did play a few hours of Immortals Fenyx Rising to see if the issue was also there but everything ran fine, also tried replaying Assassin's Creed Origins and Odyssey and no such thing happens. It also doesn't seem to be an issue with Ubisoft Connect since i can access it perfectly in-game same for the Online Store and uploading my saves/screenshots with it.

Seems like other players have this issue appear with the 1.2 update, i did try the game for a few hours back in November on PS4 Pro and that issue wasn't there.

Thank you very much for your answers, and please let me know if this issue might be fixed in a future patch.

There is still some rare micro stutter (outside of those that happen with an auto-save) even while being offline just like this video, happens rarely though.

I did try the troubleshooting that was listed on that page, and the issue didn't persists while i played offline with no internet connection, when i replayed the game with online activated the issue came back.

@ubi-keo I'm using the performance mode.

This usually happens when i leave a restricted area, it also happens when the game loads the "Avenge" missions and happens rarely when i get a collectible.
So like i said, everytime there is the auto save icon showing up a micro-stutter might happen.

Hello, i've been playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla for 25 hours on PlayStation 5, the experience have been smooth for 90% of the time but i've been having frequently some stutter (super short stutters) when there is an auto-save (when the blue icon shows up on the bottom right) and also experienced two freezes, one that happened when i launched the game with the activity card (when i do that there is always a micro-stutter following the next 20 seconds of Gameplay, and the freeze happened at that situation), the second freeze happened randomly when i assassinated a mob. BOTH freezes didn't make the console crash, the sound was still there, i just had to restart the game.

Here is a video of another player that shows an example of the stutter happening:
