Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla has enjoyed immense sales success, even topping Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War in the UK last year. Whether a sign of quality or a savvy release time with the next-gen console, lots of people are playing the Viking RPG, but some have been reporting problems with the latest update.

The Assassin’s Creed games have always been noteworthy for their sheer size and scale. With the latest few entries in the series, especially Valhalla, Ubisoft has endeavored to pair a massive world with a branching story, ideally bringing the series more in line with traditional RPGs like The Witcher 3.

Such ambition can come at a price, however, and with Title Update 1.2.0, many players are getting booted to an error screen when approaching the new Ravensthorpe festival area. The problem appears to be most prevalent on PlayStation, where players are greeted with the error code CE-34878-0. While the game features a wealth of graphics and performance options on the next-gen consoles, these do little to mitigate the crashing problem.

Tech website Gosunoob has reported on methods to overcome the crashes, including restarting the console, clearing the console cache by disconnecting the power cable for 60 seconds, and disabling supersampling mode on the PlayStation consoles. Fixing the issue is important for players who want to enjoy the new content, as there are new tattoos and other cosmetic items for those who participate in the festival. The update also brought the much-requested Transmog feature, allowing players to change armor appearance without affecting its stats.

The complexity of a triple-A game has led to many titles having problems on release, and these problems continue as the developers pour updates and patches in an attempt to fix them. Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla is no exception, as facial animation glitches and other Valhalla bugs have appeared and supposedly been fixed over the course of the game’s life. On the Assassin’s Creed twitter, Ubisoft has acknowledged this recent festival issue, and promises players that a solution is coming soon.

The ability to apply patches and fixes has been a saving grace for many live-service games in the last few years, but many in the industry have noted that this often brings problems of its own. Concerned players point to games like Call of Duty: Warzone, which has a reoccurring exploit that keeps rearing its ugly head as more content is added. It remains to be seen if such an issue will come to Valhalla; here’s hoping Ubisoft’s upcoming fix will please Odin and players alike.

Assassin's Creed: Valhalla is available on Stadia, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PS4, and PS5.
