I just got the game downloaded enough to play. I was able to play right up till you find out you are going to betray your brother. Left the house. Saved my game. Shut everything down and went and made lunch. Came back. Loaded up. Hit continue, and all I got was a black screen with the triskelion spinning in the lower right corner. CPU was at 40% usage (bounced up and down around that area). Ram was 2.709 MB (and froze there). Disk usage 0%. Network usage 0%. GPU 96.8 - 99.9%. And no amount of waiting changed it.

I switched from windowed, to full screen. Flipped antiailising to adaptive etc etc etc. Nothing helped. Every time I hit continue, all I got was the black loading screen. Ok so, then I restarted. Deleted my saves (figuring the save got corrupted somehow) and tried to start a totally fresh game. Nope. Not a chance. Instead of being able to play like it did originally, start new game went right to the black loading screen, and nothing else. Whereas the first time I started the game I had no issues doing so.

So. This is what I am now trying. I have uninstalled the game, and am going to try a totally new download, but not play it till it's fully downloaded. Seeing as anything I attempt to download from Ubisoft takes me days to download (it took me 2 days to reach 40 gigs of download for Valhalla), it will be a while before I am able to play the game. Likely as much as a week, depending on how slow your servers decide to be for me.

BTW, Ubisoft is the only place I have such terrible download speeds from. Forums, webpage, games. All snail slow. Other sites etc, I have no issues with speed. Just your site. I suspect it's likely my ISP's routing, and not actually your fault, but Verizon is too much of a PITA to get any solutions from, so I suffer through it all. If you have any suggestions while I redownload the game, that I can try if it happens again. Put them here please. I'll be watching this thread.

1 thing. Radeon's newest update causes Odyssey to ctd during ship combat again. Not sure why, but it was 100% consistent. I could sail around fine, enter land combat fine, but the second I entered ship combat, I was guaranteed to ctd.

My system is on the lower end of game requirements for Valhalla. With video cards so high priced, no way I can upgrade past my RX 580 on disability. Windows 10, fully updated. Ryzen 5 1400 chipset (same issue, can't afford to upgrade on disability). All drivers up to date except I did have to roll back my video drivers to make Odyssey ship combat playable again, and as Odyssey is currently my favorite AC game, no I am not going to update video drivers for valhalla and make another game unplayable for myself when I am so far, not exactly thrilled with what I have experienced with Valhalla so far. Valhalla will have to run on AMD's Dec 2020 driver until they fix their issue with Odyssey.

I really do feel like I post a lot of issues but I find it really concerning that these issues haven’t been addressed on the known bugs/issues thread. As many people have stated the “Pig or Prophecy” world event is bugged and preventing completion of the full map...it has been over two months and there’s been no official word on whether it’s going to be addressed in the next patch (but this is looking less and less likely as it still isn’t even on the list of known issues)

Onto achievements as it seems like it’s a prevalent issue but especially on Xbox...they’re not tracking or unlocking. I’ve tried to replicate the achievement conditions but they just won’t unlock in game so it’s extremely demotivating to continue as I have no idea if it’s going to be addressed/fixed AND to rub salt in the wound the Disorder of the Ancients achievement is completely broken on Xbox as of the latest patch and everyone I’ve spoken to has had this issue where it’s not unlocking. So add on top of that I still have about 7 other achievements that refuse to unlock I’ve no idea if I should just wait and see

bug report : I can't collect from the corpse. The corpse was stuck under the table.
I want to collect treasure from the corpse.
