Issues fixed
Crash after 15 minutes on Windows 10
- May be caused by a weird interaction between one version of XAudio2_7.dll and the on-screen keyboard service.
Check if this is indeed the cause of the crash with Windows error log[citation needed] |

|
Stop TabTip.exe[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
taskkill /f /im "tabtip.exe" cd /d "{{P|game}}\Assassin's Creed Unity" start ACU.exe
|
Game does not launch past initial splash screen
- Game might not launch properly if installed on a drive managed as a Windows Storage Space. Issue appears to be caused by the audio files.
Install game on a drive not managed as a Storage Space, for example your Windows OS drive[5] |

PlayStation button prompts do not load on connecting a DS4 v2 controller
- The game has native support for DS4 controllers on PC with it loading in the PlayStation button prompts in-game, but only on connecting the DualShock 4 version 1 model. On connecting a version 2 controller, the game will load in the Xbox button prompts.
Follow this guide on Steam. |
