Playing Valhalla using Ubisoft+. I installed the game last night and everything worked fine.

Today the came crashes as soon as I press any key (either during the intro videos or once I get to the "press any key" screen with the Valhalla symbol).

I tried verifying the game files but that did not solve the issue. I then quit all of my background applications and the game started up fine. I then tried enabling them one at a time. When I got to the Razer suite of programs (Synapse, Cortex, and Chroma) the game crashed again.

Anyone else encountered this? Seems odd that it would work fine yesterday then crash today. I can simply quit the Razer programs then relaunch them once I am done with Valhalla but would be curious to find a solution.

System info:
5900x on Asus Crosshair VIII Dark Hero (PBO enabled)
Trident Z Neo 3600 DDR4
Asus Rog Strix 3090 OC (latest 461.72 Driver)
Windows 10 Pro w/ latest patches

To clarify, I believe this is working as intended. That said, it is annoying to see the mystery icon glaring at me on the map screen.
So completionists beware!

In Oxenforda there is a man trying to enter a house. He proclaims the house as his, but alas, he has lost his key in the river.
Having heard that I promptly ran of to search said river for said key, and having completed a lap around the village I returned to the house.
There I found a guard leaving the poor man, whos key had taken a liking to fishes, dead on his doorstep.
As the man is now dead, it seems impossible for me to break down the door to his house on my own.

Don't do what I did, just break down the darn door...

How is it that the player CANNOT EVEN DROP ONTO THE CARGO FROM THE TOP OF THE CRANE??? Let alone having to use their arrow and hold down the right mouse button to bring up the bow and slow down time rotate the camera AND TRY 50 times to align properly in the descent to get the key! Are your QA department completely and utterly inept??? How could you certify that a 100% playthrough is possible with this kind of bug. Your QA team and mangagement are completely not fit for you jobs, so ALL of your QA tester can grab that key easily??? Did you run out of time, did you not have enough funds? And most of all DID YOU LIE ABOUT A 100% playthrough? You LIED!!!! I am going to give this game the worst review possible. Most keys are time consuming to get in this game, but this location... you people didnt even give a damn. So sad your ineptitude and worse your lying. I dare you to post what i have written here, because you will try to cover up your ineptitude. You are a lying company.
