I’ve just bought/downloaded AC:Valhalla. It’s completely unplayable. It stops, lags and stutters like insane. I can’t even get past the opening scene. It takes two minutes just for young Eivor to walk through the door into the hall where there is a feast. The game also takes about 5-6 minutes just to start up everytime I launch it from the desktop, or from Ubisoft Connect. My graphic card is good, Nvidia GeForce ... something or another (my computer guy keeps my PC up to date). I can run any and every other game on high settings, even ultra high settings, no problem. All games. I also have other games installed on Ubisoft Connect, such as AC: Origins, which runs a 100 % smoothly at the highest settings. It’s not a graphic card or computer capacity problem. My computer is *not* the problem. It’s very much up-to-date.
When I enter the options menu in AC: Valhalla it shows the average framerate per second is a pathetic, measly 4-5 !!! It’s no wonder I can’t make progress. This is the case whichever graphic setting I’m using in the game.
What is going on ? How do I fix this ? How and where do I identify the problem ? I’ve paid some 50 £ for this, a game that was released two years ago, and had all the time in the world to be updated and have bugs, glitches and performance issues fixed.
