How to Prevent Assassin’s Creed Mirage from Constantly Crashing?

Assassin’s Creed Mirage often crashes while you’re playing, usually after about 10 to 20 minutes. The game might freeze, the screen could go black, or it may suddenly close without showing any error message. These crashes are often caused by old or damaged game cache files, which can mess with how the game loads or saves your progress.

Other possible reasons include problems with Ubisoft Connect, outdated graphics drivers, not having the right permissions, or your computer running out of resources.

First, make sure you check the minimum system requirements for Assassin’s Creed Mirage. If your hardware doesn’t meet the requirements, it may be difficult to prevent the game from crashing. Double-check that your system meets at least the minimum specifications before moving on.

1. Disable Ubisoft Overlay

Disabling the Ubisoft overlay has fixed the crashing issue for many players. Because this feature handles graphic overlays, it uses extra system resources, which may cause crashes in games like Assassin’s Creed Mirage.

1. Click the hamburger menu (the three lines) in the top left corner.
2. Go to Settings.
3. In General, uncheck Enable in-game overlay for supported games.
4. Try launching Assassin’s Creed Mirage to see if the problem is fixed.

2. Turn on Vsync

Vsync is a setting that helps prevent screen tearing and can also make the game more stable by capping the frame rate to your monitor’s refresh rate. This puts less stress on your graphics card and can prevent crashes.

1. Go to Options in the game, then open Display.
2. Enable Vsync.
3. Test your game to check if it’s more stable.

3. Disable Full Screen Optimization

Full screen optimizations are supposed to improve how apps run, but sometimes turning them off can help with game stability. By default, this setting is on, but you can turn it off like this.

1. Press Win + E to open File Explorer.
2. Find the folder where Assassin’s Creed Mirage is installed.
3. Right-click the main game file (the .exe) and choose Properties.
4. In the Compatibility tab, check Disable full-screen optimizations.
5. Click Apply and then OK.
6. Try running the game to see if this solves the crashing issue.

4. Switch to Offline Mode in Ubisoft

Some players found that switching Ubisoft to offline mode can help prevent crashes.

1. Click your username at the top right of the Ubisoft launcher.
2. Select Go Offline to start Ubisoft in offline mode.
3. Start the game to check if the crashing issue is resolved.

5. Move Assassin’s Creed Mirage to an SSD or NVMe Drive

For the best performance with demanding games like Assassin’s Creed Mirage, it’s recommended to run the game from an SSD or NVMe drive, if possible.

1. Go to where Assassin’s Creed Mirage is installed on your computer.
2. Copy the game folder and paste it onto your SSD or NVMe drive.
3. Open Ubisoft Connect and go to Games. Right-click on Assassin’s Creed Mirage and select Uninstall.
4. From the store or My Games, select Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
5. Instead of downloading, click Locate Installed Game.
6. Select the game folder on your SSD or NVMe drive.
7. Click OK to finish the process.
8. Start the game and see if it now runs better without crashing.

6. Use the Correct Date & Time

Incorrect date and time settings can disrupt online functionality or game updates, which might cause crashes.

1. Press the Win key and type Date & time.
2. Press Enter to open the Date & time settings.
3. Check that Set time automatically is switched on.
4. Click Sync now to sync your computer’s clock with the Windows server.
5. Launch your game to see if the crashing has stopped.

7. Update the Graphics Driver

Keeping your graphics card driver updated is crucial for a smooth gaming experience. Follow these steps to make sure your GPU drivers are up to date:

1. Open GeForce Experience (for NVIDIA cards) or AMD Radeon Software (for AMD cards).
2. Go to the Drivers section and click Check for updates.
3. If there’s an update available, download and install it.
4. After updating, try running Assassin’s Creed Mirage to see if the issue is resolved.

If none of these solutions work, it might mean your computer doesn’t meet the game’s minimum requirements, or the game files might be corrupted. If you know your system is capable, try reinstalling Assassin’s Creed Mirage to fix any corrupted files and give the game a fresh start.
