I just started playing the game for the first time yesterday, am having the same problem, the game crashes at least 50% of the time when I take a screenshot using Ubisoft Connect. Windows 10 Pro, AMD Ryzen 9 3950x, GeForce RTX 2080Ti.

I am having the same issue, up until 1.5.0 I was able to get an average of 55 FPS in gameplay on Ultra High graphics quality settings. Since that update it has dropped down to an average of 30 FPS, lowering the graphics quality to Very High only improves it to about 40 FPS, on that setting I used to get 70 FPS or more. I have tried verifying game files, even uninstalling and reinstalling the game. I always keep my graphics card drivers up to date, my system specs more than exceed the recommended system requirements, and my other games are running normally. The performance issues actually seemed to get worse with the release of patch 1.5.1.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3950x
GPU: GeForce RTX 2080 Ti
RAM: 64 GB DDR4 3200
Storage: Western Digital Black M.2 NvE SSD.

@jsm91902 Same here, game used to run at around 55-60 FPS on Ultra High graphics settings. After 1.5.0 it was running just under 30 FPS, even dropping it down to Very High quality only has it running at 40 FPS.

@ubi-karl I have verified my game files several times recently as since the last patch the game keeps crashing a lot, and it had never crashed even a single time before the last major update. It looks like that save file has been overwritten, but I did get a recording of the part where Fulke was missing from the cinematic, here is the link for it:

I reloaded a save game to see if that would solve the issue, but it created a different bug. This time Sigurd was present in the cutscene but Fulke and her dialog was missing.

I also just encountered this bug as well. While still in the castle's keep Sigurd says their only chance is a parley with King Alfred, then it cuts to the inside of King Alfred's tent and Sigurd is missing, and he has no dialog, either spoken or subtitles.

Happens to me all the time, every single time I loot something a new Avenge quest notification pops up, it's very annoying, the only way I've found to keep it from doing it is to start Ubisoft Connect in Offline Mode. Ubisoft needs to add an option to disable avenge quests.
