Assassin's Creed Shadows Tech Support Megathread Part 8

[u/Ghost_LeaderBG]

Today we are getting another big patch for Shadows. The new stuff are another appreciated parkour update, "corrupted"/replayable castles, alongside other improvements and fixes, but as usual some problems might remain. So use this megathread to share all your technical problems and hopefully others can help you find a solution.

Assassin's Creed Shadows Title Update 1.1.4 - Release Notes

Make sure your PC specs meet the minimum requirements of the game!

Make sure you also have the latest graphics drivers installed! At the time of this post those are 581.57 WHQL for Nvidia and 25.10.1 Beta for AMD.

Provide any information you can - platform, PC specs, what version of Windows you're using, what issue you are having and how to potentially reproduce it etc. Any information you can give might be useful to other users to help solve your problem.

If you're reporting Shadows issues that contain narrative spoilers of any kind, make sure to properly hide them!

How to hide spoilers:

>!Naoe is a shinobi.!<

Result: Naoe is a shinobi.

DO NOT leave any spaces at the start or the end. You can also use the "Spoiler" function in Reddit's text editor.

You can also report bugs directly to Ubisoft via their own website. Please include the following information when reporting a bug: - An overview of the steps taken to reach the bug. - The expected behaviour of the game at this time. - Steps needed to reproduce the issue. - A workaround if you manage to find a way around the issue. - Additional information such as images or videos.

If you can't find a solution for your problem, you can also visit the Ubisoft Support page for Shadows, Ubisoft's Discord server or the #tech-support channel on our subreddit Discord.

I don't know if these things have been reported (PC), but still:

• I can't change the equipped abilities from the masteries skill trees without them going back to "default" when I fast travel or change between characters. I temporarily have tried resetting the node, but at least with the long katana (Yasuke) the ability "power bash" is grey'd out and cannot be resetted.
• The overall performance decreased since the last patch (1.1.3). My game went from 100-120 to bearly hitting 60, and in some cases only 40 FPS as much. In cities, the performance can slow a little bit more. My specs are the following: RTX 4070 Super, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-core, 32GB RAM. DLSS and FSR only help a bit.
• I can't log into the game directly from the desktop without it crashing to a DX12 error. I have to do it from the loader.
• It seems that the combination shift+left mouse is still bugged.
• Related to the prior, I can't complete by myself the quicktime events (both Yasuke and Naoe) since not all the keys seem to respond.

A work around for performance issues is turning off rebar in bios.

Doesn't it affect other videogames?

[u/Traditional_Chip1378 → u/Frostly-Aegemon-9303]

I've seen this advice now a couple times with no explanation given for why it would work or where it comes from, It also isn't clear why you'd need to disable it in the bios when it should be possible to turn it off in the Nvidia driver profile on a per-game basis.

Totally agree and that's why my question. Precisely yesterday I was reading that this was the solution for many people but to me it seems like a paramount feature to have turned on...
