Hello, just started playing AC: Origins for the first time on my computer and it's been running smoothly for the most part, except whenever I try to dive in the water. This is happening in Siwa, for a quest for Rabiah that wants me to dive in search of medicine boxes. The moment I dive, the game crashes. I bought the game through steam, and I've checked for file integrity but the issue remains.
Does anyone have similar issues or any insight about this? Every help is welcome, thanks in advance

@RheyaThorne I had the same problem. I just downloaded Nvidia driver 461.92 and now it runs perfectly, albeit a little less crisp graphically.

I have the same problem. My System and my card is updated. May there be an other solution?

@RheyaThorne I've had countless crashes since I installed this game, I didnt play it before patch 1.6 so idk how it was but from what I've read it was stable.

the crashes I encountered were in random places and specifically during cutscense, when scanning water, desert or a city, when diving into water, almost any rendering causes a crash.

I tried everything from closing running apps in the background to stopping all services and disabling overlays from all programs, tried running the game with different settings aswell, NOTHING worked.

my PC setup:

CPU: Intel i5 9600k (overclocked)
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3090
RAM: 32GB 3600 C16 (XMP ON)
OS: Windows 10 pro
Nvidia driver version: 531.29 (latest driver) <=== the reason behind all the crashing

HOW I FIXED IT:

1. uninstall your current Nvidia driver by using a program called Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU), DDU download link: https://www.wagnardsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4387:: (https://wagnardsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4387:) (https://wagnardsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4387): (https://wagnardsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4387)) - install this program and dont change any settings, just choose which driver you're uninstalling (GPU) in this case and click first option (clean and restart)
2. after windows restarts you download Nvidia Driver version (528.49 - WHQL) - Nvidia driver download link: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/results/199655/ (this step will remove your Geforce experience program but it will reinstall it, if it didnt reinstall just click on the driver you downloaded again and it will install Geforce experience)
3. after finishing step 1 and 2 make sure to go to Nvidia experience then go to driver and check the current driver installed is 528.48 (DO NOT UPDATE IT)
4. in Nvidia control panel, make sure Antialiasing - FXAA is turned off (didnt test it with it turned on, but I read that it causes issues, so it was off all along)

and thats it, thats literally all I did, it didnt matter what I had opened in the background, I restored everything back to normal and the game stopped crashing completely.

I hope this helps, happy gaming everyone!.

@Welstead89 You are the goat man

Did what you described here and it works !
I was crashing when going underwater and seems like it was because of nvidia's latest driver... updates are supposed to improve things right ????
I can now enjoy the game, thanks a lot

@Baabbom I got the same problem too, I'm using 3070 and my Nvidia driver 531.29

Hey guys I was desperate nothing seems to work....but recently i've try this and WORKS.... Nvidia driver 528.49, reinstal the game and window border less.
Actually i'm able to dive in any lake....and no crashes on the cinematics like berfore.
I was so desperate that have uninstall and buy Skiro ( not really convinced) actually I'm back to Origins.
