Sounds familiar? Well, this article might help solve that issue. Assassin’s Creed Shadows is now available on many devices like PC, Xbox series X/S and PS5. However, due to the title's recent release, players have had multiple issues with crashing or stuttering. These problems usually arise in the early duration of the gameplay.

So, here are a few solutions that you can try to fix your issues. Let's get to it.

Why These Issues Occur

These issues occur due to the game's new release. Ubisoft has not had the opportunity to roll out official patches related to bugs. In fact, Ubisoft is encouraging players to report any bugs to their official website so that they can deal with it properly and are aware of the multiple errors.

However, if you want a quick fix, here are a few solutions:

 

 

To Fix The Performance Issues

1. Restart Your Console And Power Cycle It

Check your console to see if it has overheated, sometimes consoles can overheat leading to less than ideal performances. To solve this issue, you can restart your console and let it cool down. If the issue persists then you can try power cycling as well!

To power cycle your console:

• Press and hold the Xbox button on the console for about 9-10 seconds
• Remove the cables from console
• After 9-10 Seconds have passed, reconnect all the cables and switch on your console.

If the issue still persists then

2. Check That The Latest Software Update Is Installed

If it's not your console , it might be your software. Make sure it's running on the latest software so that the game can run properly!

If this still does not solve the problem, it might be time to go back to the basics.

3. Check Ventilation Of Console

If your Xbox is in a poorly ventilated area, it might lead to overheating- which can cause performance dips and crashes. Instead, try to position it in an area with more airflow!

4. Clear Cache From Xbox

Corrupted cache can also lead to performance issues, try:

• Switch Xbox off and unplug power cable for more than 2 minutes.
• Plug cables back in and start the console.
• If even that doesn't work, you might have to reinstall the game to remove the corrupted files.

Do keep in mind that some issues might be from Ubisoft’s end, in which case, you'll have to wait for the patches to roll by. Hopefully this article solved some of your issues and with that, I hope you have fun waltzing in feudal Japan!
