How to Fix Assassin’s Creed 2 Crashes and Freezes

Dear Mr. Ciabai,

first of all many thanks for the support and intention to help us who really near to frustation to solve this crash issue on AC2. Your article was concise and perhaps gave most influence for me than others.

Unfortunately, none of those suggestion works for me.
The game still crashes randomly every 5-10minutes and have to press restart button each time.
The game itself seems running fine in full HD resolution, and is able to save game normally.

My PC specs is
intel Core2duo E8400
Saphire ATI Radeon 4850toxic
team extreme RAM 2GB
Silverstone PSU 500w
37
” LCD TV full HD

I’ve updated both my chipset and graphic latest drivers, tried disable all background apps, disable one core, even upgrade to Windows 7 ultimate (used Vista ultimate before), but the problem still occurs.
It also happens when I play Bad Company 2.

I read another gamer who uses higher specs thantme also face the problem.

Really appreciate if there still more suggestion you could offer.

The game was actually my best favourite, since the first AC. Really frustated to have unnecessary trouble like this.

Thank you in advance.

I am sorry Hilman, but the only thing I can think of if lowering the game’s graphic options – other than that, I can’t give you any other possible solutions.

Good luck!

Crashes during 5 minutes of gameplay. It all started when I uninstalled mass effect 2 on my PC

Ive deleted all temporary files, the drivers are updated, my hardware is beyond the requirements, etc.

Point is, EVERYTHING’S REALLY FINE UNTIL I UNINSTALLED MASS EFFECT 2 on my PC. I cant figure out how its related to the crashes. Something to do with the registry? Idk.

Thanks.

Try uninstalling your razer mouse program/drivers.I have razer salmosa and it keeps giving me blue screen until i removed it.

After starting Game i game play it crashes win and forces it to Restart os
On a :
intel Core-i7 920
Ati Radeon HD5870
6Gb OZC 1600mhz ram
Runing on 64bit Win7
Computer temepratures are not over 45°C
Any idea how to fix

Well the game runs ok up the point i have to tell his father that someone i had to deliver a letter to is out… and in that movie sequens it crashes all the time and i have tryed everything the net tells me to try =S

When i’m having my blade fixed at Leonard, it freezes when I’m going to choose the hidden blade.
I can go to the menu NP, and I get the weapon wheel, but it freezes, and I can’t move or anything.

ATI Radeon 5650 1 GB
Intel Core i-5 2,26 ghz
Windows 7
4GB DDR3 ram
(It’s a laptop)

PS: My mousemovements don’t respond correctly, it only works like 50% of the time, and that’s a really annoying problem.

Any theories or solutions? Thx!

I have a problem I didn’t find on the internet. it is about the save file. one day the game just didn’t start. so I unistalled it and reinstalled. then it worked just fine. but after I copyed my save file back it didn’t start anymore. I tried to start the game without the save file, then when I was in the menu to start the game I went back with Alt Tab, copied the save file, went back to the game and selected the menu to choose the memory. guees what…crashed…so do you have any solution? if you need my save file to check it I can send it via email. thanks

yes i have core 2 duo 2.6 ghz 9500 gt forsa
and igb ram but assasins creed crashes so
i uninstalled direct x 10 by watching videos
but CRYSIS THE DISPLAY DOESNT COME RIGHT
IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS NO VIDEO CARD WHY

Yo! I found simple way to bypass cutscene freezing. After it stucks, just press win+d and after ctrl alt del. Then it minimizes. Set the priority of it to low and maximize again. If it freeze again. Repeat the same process. This is anoying. Don’t try if you don’t like.

I’m guessing the game freezes have yet to be fixed? I came across these tips on my hunt to find an answer…

Just a tip:
For those that are jumping into the BIOS and taking the system to one core b/c of this advice… Save your self time, that isn’t going to do the trick. If anything, open task manager > right click on the process > and “Set Affinity…”, and choose what cores the process is allowed to utilize.

But people should read more on setting the affinity, the OS does it on its own, but this is just one way of forcing it to run your way… Best of luck!

hey man my game always stucks after ezio delivers the thing to dat person when he reach to that auditorium inside the room the game stucks when ezio meet father and his friend
please helo it stucks everytime i play the game
what should i do
help me please

Hey man.. The game freezes after i leave the sanctuary for the 6th assassin seal. any suggestions or anything you could do to help? please help me. thank you.

Dear Mr Ciabai,

I have a very weird issue, i hope you know the solution:
I bought the game 2 days ago, and at first i hadnt had any problems everything were set to high, but v-sync and multisampling. Yesterday UbiLauncher had 3 automatic updates, every since the game is lagging around 15 fps, nevertheless i havent modified anything.
I tried to set both the resolution and the graphics settings, but noting has happened, the lagging is same at every resolution and details.

params:

Gigabyte GA-M770T-UD3
Gainward GT240 1028/128 DDR3
AMD Athlon AM3 X3 445 3.1 GHz
A-DATA 1x2GB DDR3 1333 MHz

Thanks in advance,

For people experiencing freezing which requires shutting down the PC manually, try a program like Speedfan to check your system temperature – especially the temperature of your GPU. Assassin’s Creed 2 will give your PC a workout even at low settings, but cranking up the detail and anti-aliasing puts a serious load on the graphics processor. Most PCs are configured to automatically shut down when they reach a certain temperature to prevent damage to the components, and this may be the cause of your freezes.

omg i have the SAME problem,lemme guess sequence 2 memory 2? o.o

Dear Mr. Ciabai,

Whenver I launch AC 2 I can play it for sometime but then the game crashes to the desktop without showing any sort of error message.

When I restart my comp. I can play the again for a BIT of time after which it crashes again.
My comp. meets the System requirements, rather exceeds the recommended requirements!

I have tried all that was mentioned in your post and even tried changing the resolution, but I am STILL having the same problem.

Please help, cause I really love this game and I really want to play it.

-Regards

at sequence 8 when i go to leonardo to talk about the flying machine for the next time while watching the movie ( video ) the game began to stop and continue stop and continue then it minimizes automatically and then return to the normal form then do tha same thing again for 2 or 3 times then the pc restars automatically after showinh a blue screen …i think uts a movie ( video ) problem because while playing everything is allright but the problem here is in the movie help me plzzzzzzzzz.

i have this problem too. when Ezio put the blade the video stops. how i can fix it?? ANYONE HELP ME!

I just got this game off of Steam, and the first thing I noticed is that the graphics options keep resetting to the default, no matter what I select. As soon as I restart the game, I have to reset the settings. Even editing the setting.ini file has no effect. In fact, the settings.ini file has the correct settings (specifically I turn of Vsync, and turn on multisampling). They are correct in the ini fiel, but they still reset when the game starts. Also, the tip about not saving online, and changing the line in the ini file from saveonline-true to saveonline=false, cannot work, since there is no such line in the settings.ini file. Furthermore there is no such subdirectory as “Storage” in the Launcher directory

i had the same issue and can’t find anything about it on the internet, despite hours of looking… you two are the only two ive found that even talk about it. anyone know how to fix that?

I’m getting ‘cannot find ubisoft game launcher’ I have reinstalled twice but still the same problem.

I have the problem where the game shuts me down to the blue screen when I’m talking to my father after delivering the letter. It works fine as long as I don’t go into the cutscene. Is there any solution to this problem?

The game freezes during the talk to Leonardo at the end of “An ace up my sleeve” just as you get the hidden blade. The weird thing is that even though the sequence won’t progress, I can still access ingame menues, even selecting the hidden blade. When i do this, his hair will twitch slightly, but the sequence still won’t progress.
Clues anyone?

The same thing hapens to me ive tried loreing the graphics but it still freezes.

can any body help us please??

Thanks

Sorry to bother but I’ve been having issues with assassins creed 2 I bought it not long ago and started downloading it but then it started downloading a patch then it was completed but then it still started downloading a patch it was called updating launcher I think but every time it was nearly complete say at about 93% it would just vanish for no reason and when I click on the Assassins Creed 2 icon and push play it would do the whole updating launcher thing again every time I try to play it I also have AC Revelations but am scared to download it just in case it happens again and I also want to play AC2 before revelations since I finished AC1 so is there anyway you can help me.

Crashes to desktop after 2 seconds i start the .exe :| Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2180 2GHz, ATI RADEON 5500 SERIES 2GB, 2GB RAM, W7 Ultimate :| Any Hint?

My game starts, and I see the Ubisoft logo and hear the sound, then it goes black and the game quits, and Uplay says ‘thank you for playing assassin’s creed 2″ total time playing : 0 hours and 0 minutes.
any ideas what might be up?

Dear Mr. Ciabai,

When I click on the icon to play ACII it goes straight to the Uplay sign in, but after I put my email and password in it tries to load but then force closes.

I have restarted my computer and it does the same thing. I have also disconnected from the internet, but it says that I need to login with the internet at least once before I can go offline.

Do you have any suggestions as to how to resolve this issue?

Thank you in advance.
