Apparently, the break did the series good, as the new part turned out to be one of the largest in the franchise. But the extra year still did not help the developers optimize their project as efficiently as possible, so many players complain that Assassin’s Creed Origins crashes, freezes, lags, slows down, freezes, gives errors with a black screen, or simply does not start. However, many of these bugs can be solved, and today we will tell you exactly how to do this.
First, you should make sure that your computer system fully meets at least the minimum requirements of the game, which look like this:
- CPU: Intel Core i5-2400s (AMD equivalent)
- RAM: 6 gigabytes
- Graphics adapter: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
- Hard drive: 42 gigabytes of free space
If your computer fully meets the requirements, then you should move on to preparing its software part. The fact is that modern games often require the latest versions of video drivers for proper operation. Therefore, you should definitely update them. You can download drivers on the official websites of NVIDIA and Radeon.
However, that's not all - you also need to download the latest version of DirectX. Often, it is precisely because of its absence or the presence of damaged file libraries that games still do not want to run on players’ computers. In some cases, new or old versions of Microsoft .Net Frameworks and Visual C++ may be needed. You can download them all from the official website of the corporation.
Assassin's Creed Origins won't launch
If you can't launch the new Assassin's Creed game, then most likely the reason is due to incorrect installation. On Steam, you can check the cache of all files and download missing items. If there is a different version, you will have to uninstall and reinstall the game. Do not forget to disable your antivirus before doing this, as it may mistakenly delete or add to quarantine some important files.
You need to check if you have enough space on your hard drive. You should always keep 5-10 free gigabytes on it. Then check that the game directory does not contain Cyrillic characters, that is, you do not need to name the folders “Games”, “Ubisoft”, and so on. We have already noted above that you should also update your drivers and important programs.
Note also that the game may not launch due to the processor lacking support for SSE 4.1 and 4.2. This is usually the case with AMD Phenom and Intel Core 2 Duo chips. Therefore, here it is worth either changing the processor, or waiting for a complete bypass of Denuvo, since it is she who requires these protocols.
Assassin's Creed Origins crashes
If you have an NVIDIA video card installed and the game crashes immediately after launch, then try the following:
- Launch the NVIDIA Control Panel (right-click on the desktop and select the appropriate option).
- Go to the software settings and select Assassin's Creed Origins.
- Find the Anti-aliasing-FXAA option in the “Specify settings for this program” option and turn it off.
- Save your changes and try starting the game.
Crashes may occur due to heating of components. If the game crashes not only to the desktop, but also completely restarts the computer, then the video card or processor heats up to a critical temperature. The first thing you need to do is check the performance of these hardware in game mode. If they get really hot, then you will need to improve the cooling system.
The new Assassin's Creed may also crash on your desktop due to the low performance of your components. In this case, we can only advise you to lower the graphics settings or improve your computer. You should definitely check if there are any new updates for the game - in this case old version may conflict with the new one and lead to errors.
Lags, slowdowns, freezes, low fps and freezes in Assassin's Creed Origins
There are several ways to fix performance problems in this game, namely:
- First of all, open the Computer Control Panel, click on the “Power Options” tab and find the PC operating modes there. It is necessary to set the value to “Productive”.
- Don't forget to close all unnecessary applications that can load the processor and RAM. Some people don't exit the browser and then complain about a memory leak. It is also worth cleaning the system of all kinds of debris. CCleaner can help with this. You can also clean your computer from dust.
- Go to graphics settings and lower some settings. First of all, you should remove anti-aliasing and vertical synchronization. A lot of resources also “eat” shadows and textures. You can try completely cutting out the grass in the configuration file.
- When launching Origins, you should open the Task Manager, click on the “Processes” tab, find the game, right-click on it and set its priority to High.
We must also rely on the developers themselves. Surely they will try to release patches that optimize their game on PC.
Black screen in Assassin's Creed Origins
There is no need to worry too much about this, since it often appears when you have an old video driver or insufficiently powerful components. Update them, and then try to launch Assassin’s Creed Origins in window mode by pressing Alt+Enter when starting it. When the picture appears again, simply select full screen mode in the game settings.
Saves don't work in Assassin's Creed Origins
If you don't have a saved game, that is necessary files constantly disappear, then you need to do the following:
- Launch the game. After this, a folder called CPY_SAVES should appear in “My Documents”.
- Right-click on this folder and click on the “Properties” option.
- In the window that opens, go to the “General” tab and in the “Attributes” section, check the box next to the “Allow file contents to be indexed” option (to find this option, sometimes you need to click on “Other”).
After this, saves will not be deleted.
After the release of the new Assassins Creed: Odyssey, many were faced with the fact that the game would not start. There can usually be several reasons, but in this case it all lies in the gamers’ CPU, namely their outdated models. More about this below.
The reason for this is the lack of modern instructions SSE 4.1/4.2, AVX or others in the player processors. Usually these are processors: AMD Phenom/Athlon, Core/Quad/Pentium and some others. To check the availability of the necessary instructions, you can check with the CPU-Z program: cpu-z_1.85-64bits-ru
.jpg)
The game may also not start if your video card does not support DirectX 11 or the Windows version is not 64 bit.
And so, if your system meets the minimum requirements, you can even go a little weaker, more on this in the video test below, you can completely play at 30 fps.
If you just settle on a minimally playable configuration of 15-20 fps, then a seasoned beast with 4 cores/threads, 4 RAM and an HD 7770 or GTX 460 video card with 1 GB of video memory is quite suitable.
But, if you want 30 frames, then preferably 8 GB of RAM and a graphics adapter with 2 GB of video memory, then you can play more stable, but still at minimum settings.
In any case, you can’t run Assassins Creed: Odyssey without SSE 4.1/4.2 instructions; only replacing the processor will help here, and this often means replacing the motherboard and, possibly, the power supply, RAM, etc., everything is individual.
Assassins Creed: Odyssey on a weak PC (FX4300/6300; 4-12 Ram; GT 630, HD 7770/7870)
UPDATED 10/06/18. Ubisoft has changed the system requirements of Assassin's Creed: Odyssey after complaints about the inability to launch the game
UPDATED 10/08/18. Ubisoft will release an update that will allow Assassin's Creed Odyssey to run on processors without AVX
Assassins Creed: Odyssey popular test (FX6300/8320/i7 7700; 12-16 Ram; GTX 1060/1070)
Once upon a time, Ubisoft was often reproached for technically imperfect releases, but in the last couple of years the French have been actively fighting for their reputation. Assassin's Creed: Origins works quite stable, and many of the game's problems can be solved on your own.
Many technical problems that arise with computer games, occur not so much because of the “hackwork” from the developers. On the contrary, the trend of releasing bad PC ports is gradually fading away. But this does not change the fact that people run the same game on thousands, tens of thousands of different computers.
Gamers often don't pay much attention to maintaining their system. Hardware is gradually becoming outdated, as is software, which has not been updated for years. Therefore, before blaming the developers for poor work, you need to check the required configuration of your computer.
System requirements Assassin's Creed: Origins
Minimum system requirements:
- OS: Windows 7/8/8.1/10 ( only 64 bits);
- CPU: Intel Core i5-2400 2.5 GHz, or AMD FX-6350 3.9 GHz;
- RAM: 6 GB;
- Video card: Nvidia GTX 660 with 2 GB of video memory, AMD R9 270 with 2 GB of video memory (shaders version 5.0 are also required);
- HDD: 42 GB;
- DirectX version: 11;
- Net
- Sound card: DirectX compatible.
- OS: Windows 7/8/8.1/10 ( only 64 bits);
- CPU: Intel Core i7-3770 3.5 GHz, or AMD FX-8350 4.0 GHz;
- RAM: 8 GB;
- Video card: Nvidia GTX 760 with 3 GB of video memory or AMD R9 280X with 3 GB of video memory (shaders version 5.0 are also required);
- HDD: 42 GB;
- DirectX version: 11;
- Net: broadband Internet connection;
- Sound card: DirectX compatible.
Due to the fact that Assassin's Creed: Origins is based on the engine from the previous part, the system requirements have not changed much. To play on minimum settings, an old Intel Core i5-2400 and a two-gigabyte video card with support for DirectX 11 are enough.
Having such a set of components, as well as at least 6 gigabytes of RAM, you can achieve 1080p@30fps or 720p@60fps. As they say, cheap and cheerful.
Files, drivers and libraries
Like all new AAA games, Assassin's Creed: Origins received a set of special drivers that slightly improve the game's performance thanks to fine tuning by the inquisitive minds of AMD and Nvidia. You can download the drivers on the official websites of both companies:
A prerequisite for the successful functioning of any game is the availability of the latest drivers for all devices in the system. Download the utility Driver Updater to easily and quickly download the latest drivers and install them with one click:
- download Driver Updater and run the program;
- scan the system (usually it takes no more than five minutes);
- Update outdated drivers with one click.
Half the job is done! Now you need to update additional software packages that are used by all current games:

Assassin's Creed: Origins crashes on a powerful processor. Solution
Despite the fact that this game from Ubisoft runs quite well even on not the most powerful processors, some users have encountered frequent crashes even on “top” processors. They flooded the developers with bug reports, and after a while the French issued a verdict: the crash was caused by incorrect operation when launched on processors with 32 or more cores.
Yes, that is, the game works on a 4-core, but not on a “monster” with 32 cores. The problem is solved, as they say, head-on: you just need to disable some of the cores so that the system does not use them during the game.
To do this you need to do the following:
- Press the key combination Win + R;
- Enter “msconfig” (without quotes) in the dialog box and confirm;
- In the window that opens, go to the “Download” tab;
- Click on the “Advanced options...” button;
- Check the box next to the “Number of processors” option and select a number less than 32 in the list below;
- Confirm and then click the “Apply” button.
Assassin's Creed: Origins slows down when HBCC is enabled on AMD cards. Solution
It's no news that most major video games are primarily optimized for Nvidia video cards. This is not a cartel conspiracy or a conspiracy of aliens from Nibiru, but the specifics of modern game development. Video cards from “green” companies occupy a large market share, and therefore developers are trying to ensure good performance on them.
Because of this, there is not always enough time for AMD. The release date cannot be changed, you have to release the game as is. In the case of Assassin's Creed: Origins, this resulted in severe drops in frame rate on AMD video cards when the HBCC graphics option was activated.
Whether this issue will be fixed depends primarily on AMD. Most likely, the company will release an updated version of the drivers, in which the problem of “brakes” will be solved. But for now it is better to disable HBCC so as not to spoil your gaming experience.
NPCs do not load in Assassin's Creed: Origins. Solution
The error is unpleasant, as it directly affects the course of the game. When the processor cannot cope, the game does not have time to load the game characters. This leads to the fact that they are simply not displayed, even though the game logic fully calculates their movement and behavior.
What’s even worse is that sometimes the problem of NPC “invisibility” even affects story characters. Then you have to literally look for them by touch, which is very annoying.
Ubisoft is aware of the bug, but claims it is not a game bug. As a solution, it is proposed to lower the graphics settings and disable programs that run in the background in order to relieve the processor a little.
Assassin's Creed: Origins freezes on an AMD processor. Solution
A very specific problem that only occurs when using the AMD FX-8350 processor. With other processors that meet the minimum system requirements, Assassin's Creed: Origins works correctly, but on the FX-8350 there are “freezes”: the picture freezes, although the sound is played normally. This freezing can last a split second, after which everything returns to normal.
Developers from Ubisoft are not yet entirely sure what exactly is causing the freezes in the FX-8350 processor, but as a temporary solution they recommend disabling the Cool and Quiet function in the BIOS settings (motherboard control panel).
Cool and Quiet is a kind of power-saving mode in which the processor is not used at full capacity to reduce operating temperature and noise levels.
Disabling Cool and Quiet should be approached with caution. If the room is hot and the system itself tends to get very hot, then without Cool and Quiet a dangerous situation can arise. Let's hope Ubisoft fixes the problem.
Assassin's Creed: Origins crashes when taking a picture in full screen mode. Solution
When using photo mode, the game may crash if it is running in full screen. In this case, the crash occurs only when viewing a just taken photo, which has already appeared on the map and has been selected as a target. Actually, the error is rare, but it is present in the game.
It is impossible to solve it on your own, but the developers promise to fix it in the near future. Stay tuned for updates!
In Assassin's Creed: Origins, the target disappears when completing the task "Hyena"
Another game bug that interferes with the completion of one of the tasks. He doesn't always appear, but online you can find frequent references to disappearing targets in the Hyena mission. This can happen if, during this mission, you go to the main screen and load the last save or exit the game completely.
As a temporary solution, the developers obviously advise completing the task before exiting the game. Well, or at least mark everything and collect all the quest items. You can still postpone this task until better times - the error will be fixed in the next update.
Assassin's Creed: Origins has no sound on Logitech headphones. Solution
Yes, specifically on headsets from Logitech, and even then not on all of them. The problem was confirmed by owners of the G633, G430 and G933 models. When using these headphones, the sound in Assassin's Creed: Origins may disappear during cutscenes and dialogues.
Users also report that they sometimes cannot hear background sounds and main character and walks completely silently for the player, but the enemies, of course, hear him.
IN this moment this problem has no solution. Ubisoft is investigating the reasons for the lack of sound on some Logitech headsets. Most likely, the error will be fixed in one of the upcoming patches.
Assassin's Creed gives an error about the missing DLL file. Solution
As a rule, problems associated with missing DLLs arise when starting a game, but sometimes the game can access certain DLLs during the process and, not finding them, crash in the most brazen manner.
In this material, we will help you get rid of the most common problems that tend to arise in Assassin's Creed Unity. First of all, technical problems with the game will be solved. Various troubles that do not allow us to play calmly.
As you know, Assassin's Creed Unity is a rather large and complex game in its structure, and it is not surprising that sometimes the game gives various kinds of glitches. Thanks to the size of the map and all the buildings that are recreated on a 1:1 scale, the game has quite high system requirements , which is not a plus for stable operation for most players.
So, we have made below some solutions to problems with Assassin's Creed Unity, which we hope will help you.
Assassin's Creed Unity crashes
In this subtitle we will solve one of the most common problems with the game. So, if you notice crashes in the game Assassin's Creed Unity, then it's time to start solving problems.
1. Make sure that you have a Profile folder in the game folder. Otherwise, it is better to download it. This folder contains saves.
1. On Steam, check the integrity of the game cache. This is done in the game properties, in the Steam game library. It is possible that some file was damaged.
You need to do this in uPlay.
2. Run the game as an administrator and make sure that there is enough free space on the Windows disk and on the game disk.
Install a swap file for the game.
3. Update your gaming software:
4. Essential lower game settings and most importantly, smoothing. MSAA must be disabled.
5. Remember that if you play on a pirate, it is quite possible that your repack has some individual problems. We recommend reading the distribution.
For example, one of the Mechanics repacks had a broken crack, which caused the game to crash.
A very good practice is to change the crack (tablet). For example, on ALI213 v5
Assassin's Creed Unity slows down and freezes
Does FPS sags in Assassin's Creed Unity? Or do you sometimes experience freezes in the game?
In any case, we have already made a fairly detailed material about solving this problem. So, if you experience slowdowns in Assassin's Creed Unity, then you should.
Assassin's Creed Unity won't start
In the event that Assassin's Creed Unity suddenly refuses to start, we think that we can help you with this. The fact is that we have covered in detail the solution to problems with launching the game.
Assassin's Creed Unity is not saved
If you are playing a licensed copy of Steam, then try checking the integrity of the cache.
If you play on a pirated computer, then most likely running the game as a system administrator will help you. In principle, this technique can also help on licensed copies of the game.
We recommend installing the save immediately after training. After this, the game can be saved. See saves for the game on this page.
Also, the problem often appears due to incorrectly working cracks. Try playing with another crack. For example, on ALI213 v5 the game is saved, but on ALI213 v4 it is not.
The image is elongated in Assassin's Creed Unity
If you have problems with resolution and the image in the game Assassin's Creed Unity is too stretched, which does not look natural, then you need to turn off the option in the game settings "Stretch screen".
The gamepad does not work in Assassin's Creed Unity
If you have a pirated version, then the problem could easily lie in a crooked tablet. In general, you may have a PlayStation gamepad, not an XBOX. Problems arise with such gamepads in many games. We wrote about how to solve them in this article.
If you are interested in solving another problem with Assassin's Creed Unity, then write about it in the comments.

The most common problems:
Optimizing Assassin's Creed Odyssey on PC
This is quite a big question. There are many steps you can take to improve performance.
Tips for optimizing Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Install the latest video driver
Nvidia/AMD
Lower graphics settings
This is the first thing to do. Set the resolution to minimum and graphics settings to the lowest. Shadows, anti-aliasing and textures have the biggest impact on performance.
Use component overclocking
Elements of your PC such as the graphics card, processor, and even RAM can be speeded up through overclocking. MSI Afterburner is one of the popular programs for overclocking video cards. In addition, it offers many additional features. For example, it can be used to obtain information about computer components. Many modern motherboards already come with software in which you can increase the frequency of the video card or processor. You can easily get an additional 5-7% performance from almost any modern video card. Important: overclocking video cards built into the chipset (integrated) is often meaningless. For detailed overclocking steps, see the instructions for the specialized software.
You can optimize the graphics settings of Assassin's Creed Odyssey in NVIDIA GeForce Experience
NVIDIA GeForce Experience / AMD Gaming Evolved / Intel HD Graphics Control Panel - programs with a variety of tools, including game optimization.
Use utilities to clean up junk and unnecessary files
There are many special utilities for cleaning and optimizing your PC. Ashampoo WinOptimizer is one of the most popular.
Defragmentation and disk cleanup
Right click on the disk icon and go to properties hard drive. Select the "Tools" tab -> click the "Defragment (or optimize)" button. There, in the properties, check and clean the disk.
NVIDIA/AMD Control Panel
Open the NVIDIA (or AMD) Control Panel and go to the Manage 3D Settings (NVIDIA) tab, or Games -> 3D Application Settings (AMD). You can set here both global graphics processing settings and separately for Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Or select “Adjust image settings with preview” (for NVIDIA), then “Custom settings -> Performance” by dragging the slider all the way to the left.
Remove unnecessary processes from startup
Click the Start button (bottom left corner). Type msconfig into the search bar, then press Enter. In the system configuration window that opens, select the “Startup” tab (in Win 10, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE and open the same tab). You will see a list of programs that automatically start with Windows. Disable all unnecessary programs (do not remove applications you do not know from startup, otherwise you risk disrupting the operation of your computer). Restart your computer. Do not run programs (antivirus, Skype, etc.). Launch Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
Improving OS efficiency
Turn off Aero effects in Windows, turn off search indexing, system sounds, and more.
Increase RAM using a flash drive
Right-click on the flash drive and select Properties. Open the “Ready Boost” tab, check the “Use this device” checkbox.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey stopped launching
What changes have you made to the computer? Perhaps the problem was caused by the installation new program. Open the list of installed programs (Start -> Add or Remove Programs), sort by date. Remove recently installed ones. Reinstall Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
Also check the task manager. If there are copies of Assassin's Creed Odyssey processes running, end them all.
DirectX error in Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Errors of the form: DirectX Runtime Error, DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG, DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED, DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_RESET.
- Perform a clean installation of the video card driver only. Don't install audio, GeForce Experience... Same for AMD.
- Disconnect the second monitor (if present) and any other peripheral devices.
- Disable G-Sync.
- Use System File Checker
- For NVIDIA cards. Right click on the desktop -> NVIDIA Control Panel. At the top where File, Edit, View... click "Help" and turn on "Debug Mode".
- Sometimes the cause may be overheating of the video card. Use the FurMark utility to check the performance of the video card under load. Try lowering the frequencies. More detailed information Look on the Internet for the following queries: undervolting and reducing the frequency of a video card.
"Out of memory" error
Possible reasons: the game does not have enough RAM; there is not enough space on the hard drive for the paging file; you yourself adjusted the size of the paging file (or disabled it, or used software); Some program causes a memory leak (open the task manager CTRL+ALT+DELETE and sort applications by memory consumption).
Controls do not work in Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Remove the input device (gamepad, mouse) from the USB and reinsert it. If the mouse and keyboard do not work, then try disconnecting the gamepad and other USB devices.
DLL error in Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Errors like: dll is missing, d3d11.dll, msvcp110.dll not found and others.
Please note that the path to the game should not contain Russian letters, only Latin!
Standard actions when a DLL error occurs:
- Restart your computer
- Recover the deleted DLL file from the Recycle Bin (or use a file recovery program). Of course, this option is suitable if you deleted the file
- Scan your computer for viruses and malware
- Use System Restore (see instructions online)
- Reinstall Assassin's Creed Odyssey
- Update your drivers
- Using System File Checker in Windows 10 (see instructions online)
- Update Windows if patches are available
- Perform a clean install of Windows
- If after clean Windows installations DLL error persists, then the problem is not with the software, but with the components of your PC.
Errors with specific DLLs
Error message MSVCP140.dll. You need to update/install the Visual C++ package
This can be done using this link
https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/download/details.aspx?id=48145
If you have any USB controllers (or other devices) connected to the network, try unplugging them. Startup crashes with crash module names ntdll.dll and EZFRD64.DLL can (particularly for the latter) be associated with USB controllers or PS2-USB adapters (for various games).
If you are experiencing api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll errors on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, Microsoft has released a patch to fix this issue.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2999226
If you receive an MSVCR120.dll error message, go to C:\Windows\System 32 and search for "MSVCR120.dll." Delete this file. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Assassin's Creed Odyssey\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2013 and run "vcredist_x64.exe". Then click "repair".
Assassin's Creed Odyssey - BSOD or Blue Screen
BSOD usually means there is some serious problem with your system that is not related to the game. First of all, check your power supply. If it overheats, it will turn off. Also, if the system does not have enough power from it, then various errors are possible, including BSOD. Test other components of your PC. On the Internet you can find various utilities for checking memory, hard drive and video card.
Black screen Assassin's Creed Odyssey
A black screen, as well as a white screen, or other colors, can indicate different errors, however, most often this refers to a specific problem on the part of the video card, and in some cases the source of the error may be the RAM module. Also remove overclocking of the processor and/or video card, provided that it is used.
How to resolve this error
Running Assassin's Creed Odyssey in windowed mode
Windowed mode on Steam
- Go to Steam Library
- Right click on Assassin's Creed Odyssey and open "Properties"
- Select the General tab and click Set Launch Options
- Add -windowed
Windowed mode via .exe
- Right click on the game shortcut on your desktop and go to "Properties"
- In the "Object" line after the quotes (") add " -windowed "
- "C:\Games\Assassin"s Creed Odyssey\Bin\Win64\Assassin"s Creed Odyssey.exe" -windowed
Close video recording programs
The cause of the black screen may be video capture programs: Nvidia ShadowPlay, Camtasia Studio, Ezvid, etc.
In addition, errors can be caused by applications related to video processing in games. For example: ReShade, ENB, etc. Various modifications can similarly lead to an error. Use a basic rule: the fewer applications running simultaneously with the game, the better. Cover everything unnecessary.
Testing RAM
Assassin's Creed Odyssey is not full screen
Press ALT+ENTER. Check your game settings ( windowed mode, resolution, etc.). In some cases, it helps to change the refresh rate (in the Nvidia control panel) from 60 Hz to 59 Hz (click “Apply”), and return it to 60 Hz again. Another way: also in the Nvidia control panel, go to the “Adjust desktop size and position” section. On the right top corner click "Restore".
Sound errors / No sound in Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Tips for troubleshooting audio problems
First, restart your computer, then check the sounds in Windows: left-click the speaker icon in the system tray (next to the clock), and then click on the volume slider.
If you don’t hear any sounds, then right-click (RMB) on the speaker icon and go to “ Playback devices" In the playback section, check which sound source is the default. Right click on it and click “Check”. If there is no sound, then right-click on the icon and click “Detect sound problems.”
There are sounds in Windows, but you can't hear them in the game:
Check the volume settings in the game settings. Update DirectX and audio driver.
Voice files were damaged during installation. Check the integrity of the game files on Steam.
Restart your Realtek Soundbar. Check the sound settings in it. In Realtek HD Audio Manager, switch the audio type from Quadraponic to Stereo.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey crashes to the desktop
Try temporarily disabling your antivirus (especially in the case of Avast!). Also see tips in the startup errors section.
Nothing happens when I launch Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Assassin's Creed Odyssey won't launch from Steam
Method 1: Restart the Steam client
Method 2: Close Steam and open the C:\Program Files\Steam\ folder (or the folder you specified when installing Steam).
Delete the following files
ClientRegistry.blob
Restart your computer.
Now run Steam.exe from the Steam installation directory, not from the desktop shortcut.
Recheck the original problem.
Attention. This process will not affect your installed games.
If the problem persists, check that your computer and network are optimized for Steam:
Download and install VC++ 2013.
And other necessary libraries.
Try uninstalling Visual C++. Then install Visual C++ from the game folder:
- Go to Steam Library
- Select "Local Files"
- Go to the \_CommonRedist\vcredist folder
If Assassin's Creed Odyssey does not start and no errors appear. If this is the first launch, then just try to wait.
Tips from the developers:
Update your video card drivers
Make sure you are using the latest Nvidia PhysX (for Nvidia graphics cards) and DirectX.
Also make sure that the Nvidia Control Panel settings option is set to "Application Controlled".
Try running the game as administrator:
- Go to Steam Library
