How to Fix Assassin’s Creed 3 Crashes, Freezes and Problems
Assassin’s Creed 3 just launched and one of the most anticipated games of the year didn’t come alone: it also brought in a series of crashes, freezes and problems. How to fix them? Well, this is why I am here and hopefully you’ll find your answer pretty soon, by following these tips and tricks on how to fix Assassin’s Creed 3 crashes, freezes and other game errors.
First things first, although I am sure you are aware of that: make sure that your system meets the minimum requirements to run Assassin’s Creed 3. Even if it does, try tuning down the visual settings and make sure that you have downloaded the latest drivers for your card (since they usually have performance improvements for top games like Assassin’s Creed 3).
If these still haven’t fixed the game crashes and freezes, here are some more advanced tips regarding what to do:
1. Some users have reported that, strangely, un-updated sound drivers were causing the game to crash. So make sure that you update your sound card drivers, especially Realtek and Creative Labs (for other manufacturers, search on Google)
2. If you have a multicore processor, try disabling them as this might be the problem for the crashes.
3. Many crashes and especially game freezes of Assassin’s Creed 3 are caused by the game asking for too much performance from the computer. So try to disable VSync and multi-sampling to fix these problems.
4. Make sure that you have installed the Day One patch from Ubisoft. The developers are aware of many bugs and crashes and they fix many with the crash fix. Find out more about it on the official forums (SPOILERS, though!)
And right now, this is all I have in terms of tips and tricks on how to fix Assassin’s Creed 3 crashes and freezes. I will do my best to find more solutions for you, so make sure to check back soon – and also let us know in the comment section below about any possible solutions you might have, as well as your problems with the game and maybe somebody will be able to help.

my ac3 is freezing at start up when it shows text something like “this game is created by people of various religious faiths” or something like this. I tried re installing the game, drivers and nothing helps. Please help me.
P.S. I use win 7 32bit, i7, 8gb ram and 3gb gf 555 so computer requirements isnt answer.
I spent 2 hours figuring this out, believe me I have found the only solution. There is no corrupt file, reinstall issue. Just we have to update the graphic card. P.S My laptop has the same specs as yours.
Calin, I can’t even run the game because it shows up an error. D3d11.ll do you have any idea how to resolve it ?
My AC3 is crashing always at the same point. Its the moment when i enter the for to buy gun and sword. I see the shop for 2 secunds and then it just freezes.
Hey, My A.C.III also stucks at the shop!
Same problem here , please tell me wat to do .
My AC3 started crashing when I entered a mission (northwest passage) and the problem is that it has a save at the beginning..so anytime I try to run the game..it starts from this save..and freezes! Don’t know what to do now…
Forvall crashes and freezes before going for other solutions update your graphic card drivers. Believe me it will work.

After many hours tinkering on how to make AC3 run on my ASUS K55VJ Notebook PC with NVIDIA GeForce GT 635M 2GB DDR3, I finally made it run, whew. I find AC3 crashes with my NVIDIA control panel settings – 3D Settings > Manage 3D Settings
So here is some of the Features/Settings I made
Antialiasing FXAA – off
Antialiasing Gamma Correction – off
Antialiasing Mode – Application Controlled
Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration – Single display performance mode
Antialiasing Transparency – off
Vertical Sync – off
Make sure to select AC3 as your program. Good luck!
