Not had one crash yet, touch wood.

8GB or 16GB? Run Memtest to rule that out. Not overheating etc?

Does this game crash or freeze for anyone else?

I've been having lots of issues with my 8 pack ram but thought I'd solved it.

One day I can play 3-4hrs no problems. The next day crash and freeze twice in one hour.

Hard to tell now if it's the game that's unstable or the ram.

I guess for more accurate results I should use the Ryzen dram calculator.

I had to drop my RAM speed to solve that.

Picked this back up to finish the second DLC off and I'm now having no end of issues with it randomly crashing to desktop which I never had when I played the 'vanilla' game or the first DLC

I've still about 4 or 5 regions I've not even walked into. Also yet to fully upgrade my gear on the character screen and the pouches for ammo etc (things along the bottom)

I might pick this back up again since I upgraded from my i5 3570k to the 8700k (running at 5Ghz). I did quickly jump in, lowest fps I was getting was 50's in a city with my 980ti @ 1440p. Before I was getting low 30's in a city. It's a shame DRM still bottle necks this on lower end CPU's. But now it's my GPU not up to snuff at absolute max settings (with low AA). I could drop a few settings but the times it drops are rare so yea... May pick this up again and continue the story!

My wife finished the main story in around 4 solid sittings! She loved it.

Can this be installed on steam without Uplay?

No, steam will simply launch uPlay. It's footprint is tiny, so you might as well go ahead and install. Make sure it doesn't start on boot and you're good to go.

Ye, thanks for the info.

Played Sunday without issue and really enjoying the Pharaohs DLC, I didn't expect to go into unique zones of each afterlife.

Me neither, it was a nice touch.

Glanza · 22 May 2018 at 10:48

I've only been in 3 so far but they've all been unique visually, It's made the game longer as I thought there was only the 5 or 6 zones to explore on the main map.

Going to dive back into it tonight hopefully as I want the new shield and sword that are BIS.

agnes · 23 May 2018 at 23:39

Picked this up again last night. Did the mission where you fight the giant serpent. So cool!

Glanza · 29 May 2018 at 09:20

Finished Curse of the Pharaohs, though the ending felt odd due to how the quests were or I did the killing in the wrong order. Managed to unlock all the club rewards on Uplay but show me the money! hasn't so I've put a ticket into Ubisoft to get that unlocked hopefully.

Think I can uninstall now as the tour thing doesn't interest me.

CaptainRAVE · 1 Jun 2018 at 20:18

Fingers crossed the new AC game is this good.

Radox-0 · 1 Jun 2018 at 20:44

Yup, this was a joy to play through. While I did play other's felt like passing the time to be honest then enjoying. Glad they took a year out and Ancient Egypt worked real well for a setting IMO.

Is the DLC at £25 worth it?

Pighardia · 1 Jun 2018 at 22:17

I've only played the first dlc, but based off that, the second one would have to be the greatest dlc of all time for the season pass to be worth £25!

opethdisciple · 2 Jun 2018 at 01:10

Well it's actually the season pass which is on sale at £25. Basically just two DLC's for that price.

So I'm guessing it's not worth it then?

mid_gen · 2 Jun 2018 at 08:08

First DLC is meh. Second had a good reception although I haven't had time to get into it.

Kainz · 5 Jun 2018 at 11:00

Quick heads up for anyone on the fence about this - The uPlay E3 sale is on and Origins (Standard) is £24.99. Combine that with a 20% off code and you're looking at £20 or so.
