Hello.

I bought Assassin's Creed Valhalla a couple of days. Everything was alright when I checked up if the game works or not. After a restart of my PC, I just cannot play it anymore.

I have the "press key" thing and at this time, it works. But after that, I cannot do anything. I'm just stuck in the menus. My keayboad & my controller do not respond. I just can move my curosr in the menu. When I put my mouse on a menu tab, it is highlighted but impossible to click on it.

I already done all these things:

  • Check update driver
    • keyboard
    • mouse
    • Graphic card
    • ...
  • Disconnect controller
  • Disconnect everything from USB connector except mouse and Keyboard
  • Disconnect everything from USB connector except xBox Controller
  • Check game files
  • Disabled all overlay (Discord, Ubisoft,...)
  • Reinstall the game
  • Launch the PC in "clean boot" mod
  • Launch the game as administrator
  • Delete the ACValhalla.ini
  • Delete the ACValhalla files in document files


Here is my pc configuration:

  • Intel Core i5 7600K
  • Asus NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5
  • 2x8 GB DDR4 @2400MHz
  • Game installed on a HDD
  • Motherboard : ASUSTeK PRIME Z270-A


All these things do not work and I feel like I bought a game that I can never play because of these problems

Thanks for your answers.

Hello @Robert301 and welcome to Discussions!

First of all I am really sorry to hear that your mouse and the keyboard do not respond while in game.

I went through the detailed description you wrote and it seems to me that you have performed plenty of troubleshooting steps including disabling the background applications.
As far as I understand it all worked fine and you were not stuck in the menus before the PC restart, correct?
Have you tried to use another keyboard and/or a mouse in a testing purposes and check the game behavior?
Can you try one more time to disconnect all the peripherals, reinstall the game into another location and see if it will change the situation?

Should the issue still persist, please let us know, so we can create a support case for you.
I look forward to hearing back from you.

@robert301 Thank you for the details. Would you also clarify the current Windows OS you are running?

If possible, upload a screenshot of your 'command' menu so I can get a better look at the input settings for Valhalla. Just in case, please clear cache for Ubisoft Connect before launching the game as administrator.

Hey there @arni-gx! I'm sorry you've run into this issue trying to bind your keys. Could you grab me a screenshot showing your "command" menu so I can check into the inputs a little further?

Hello there @arni-GX,

I apologise for the delayed response. Just to clarify, is the issue you're encountering that your keybinding settings reset every time you load the game to default? So after changing your key binding for Hugr Rip from Q to F12, it will reset to Q again after reloading the game. Is this correct?

If this is the case, would you be able to provide us with some additional information?

  • Does this reset only happen for the Hugr Rip command? Or do other custom key bindings reset when reloading the game?
  • Do only your key bindings reset? Or have you noticed other in-game settings resetting (such as difficulty)?
  • Are you able to provide a video which demonstrates the reset happening following a game reset? This would be helpful for investigating this behaviour in-game further.


I'd recommend uploading any videos to a sharing platform, such as YouTube or Google Drive, as this will allow you to post a shareable link within this thread we can take a closer look at.

Thanks! 😊

@Gordan301 Hello! I'm so sorry to hear that you're still having this issue, and I apologize for any frustration caused! I hope we can get this figured out so that you can finally enjoy playing the game. It looks like we had reached out to specialists regarding your case before, and they had asked to try the following troubleshooting:


If that still does not help, what happens if you hit Alt + Tab to switch between windows? Also, could we get a video of the issue to be able to check visually what's happening? Once you have a video, please upload it to a website like YouTube or Google Drive and share the link with us here.

Thank you!
