After the release of the novelty Assassins Creed: Odyssey, many are faced with the fact that the game does not start. There can usually be several reasons, but in this case, everything lies in the CPU of gamers, namely their outdated models. More on this below.

The reason for this is the lack of modern SSE 4.1 / 4.2, AVX or other instructions in the processors of the players. Usually these are processors: AMD Phenom/Athlon, Core/Quad/Pentium and some others. To check the availability of the necessary instructions, you can check with the CPU-Z program: cpu-z_1.85-64bits-ru

Also, the game may not start if your video card does not support DirectX 11 or the version of Windows is not 64 bit.

And so, if your system meets the minimum requirements, it can be even a little weaker, about this in the video test below, you can completely play at 30 fps.

If it stops a little at the minimum playable configuration at 15-20 fps, then a seasoned beast with 4 cores / threads, 4 operative and a video card of the HD 7770 or GTX 460 level with 1 GB of video memory is quite suitable.

But, if you want under 30 frames, then preferably 8 GB of RAM and a graphics adapter for 2 GB of video memory, then you can already play more stable, but still at the minimum.

In any case, Assassins Creed: Odyssey cannot be launched without SSE 4.1 / 4.2 instructions, only replacing the processor will help here, and this is often the replacement of the motherboard and, possibly, the power supply, RAM, etc., everything is individual.

Assassin's Creed sends us back to the days of piracy, where you have to sail the seas of the open game world on your ship Jackdaw. It's 1715 and pirates rule the Caribbean. They created their own republic of lawlessness, where corruption and greed are commonplace. But there is no problem with the young, sassy captain Edward Kenway, for whom you play. Below we will try to answer questions regarding problems with Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag, namely, when the game does not start, crashes, freezes, errors pop up and more.

The game requires the latest drivers for sound card so download and install the latest version to fix this issue. It is also recommended to update DirectX to the latest version.

Uplay won't accept Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag key

This problem happens if you have an old version of Uplay. Therefore, download the latest version of Uplay from the official website, do not forget to remove the outdated version. Restart your computer and install new version, where you can enter the registration key of the game.

Fixing Low Performance and FPS Drop in Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag Graphics Settings

First of all, which has been mentioned many times above, install the latest graphics card drivers. Try running the game at different resolutions until you get the best possible result. You can also turn off Motion Blur, FXAA, HBAO, Volumetric Fog and V-Sync (vertical sync), which will allow the game to unload and increase performance and FPS, but, as you know, will reduce gaming effects.

AC4BFSP.exe stops working/responding/unresponsive in Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag

In Assassins Creed 4 Campaign/Singleplayer this is a fairly large known issue and is resolved by simply installing patch 1.01. If the problem persists and you are using an AMD video card, then be sure to install the Catalyst drivers from 13.1 and higher. We also recommend lowering the graphics settings.

Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag online / multiplayer not working

When you try to connect to a network or online game a message pops up: "Ubisoft services are not available." As you know, at the moment the game has not yet been officially released, so you will have to wait until November 21st to get access to the game on the network.

Crashes or black screen in Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag but sound works

This is due to SLI or CrossFire modes, so turn them off before starting the game. If you are not using SLI or CrossFire, then you should lower your graphics settings and turn off most graphics options such as V-Sync, Motion Blur, etc.

Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag has flickering graphics and missing textures on ultra-high settings

As usual, install the latest graphics card drivers and patch 1.01. If you keep flickering textures on high or ultra graphics settings, then you should increase the resolution to fix this problem. I personally applied this solution and increased the resolution, after which the glitches disappeared.

In this article, I have collected the most common errors, bugs and causes of crashes to the desktop from assassin games Creed 4 Black Flag. Naturally, here you will also find answers to questions on how to make the game run without problems.

Before looking for other reasons that cause problems with the game, I strongly recommend that you check your computer for meeting the system requirements of the game.
