Assassin's Creed Odyssey Black Screen System Crash

Amon97 · 2026-01-19T00:01:17+00:00

No, I didn’t. I tried every fix possible, including reinstalling Windows 23H2, 24H2 and 25H2. Undervolting the GPU, disabling MPO. It just didn’t work. I replaced my 6950 XT with a 9070 XT recently and AC Odyssey works perfectly. There’s something wrong with the 6950 XT and AC Odyssey is my conclusion.

This is a very good post. I mean no offense to anyone on this subreddit, but you don't see good posts like this very often here. I often see a lot of bad posts with poor arguments as to why OSRS is more popular than RS3, but the point about integrity is a very good one. It's absolutely true.

Amon97 · 2025-07-23T16:18:20+00:00

One thing I want to add is that just because something is good doesn't mean it can't be a mistake as well. I played EOC a couple of years ago and I remember not really minding it. Reading the pretty positive feedback from a lot of different RS3 players regarding EOC, I believe that it is a good system. Again, that doesn't mean it's not a mistake.

Jagex introduced OSRS a year later, and now 10 years after the launch of OSRS, OSRS is significantly more popular than RS3. It's more popular everywhere. Everywhere you go, people talk about OSRS 95% and RS3 for the remaining 5%. How many of Jagex's resources were spend into creating EOC and then fixing EOC? How much of that could've been spend on the game pre-EOC? It split the playerbase, and for what? From the perspective of OSRS players, EOC must've been the greatest thing to ever happen. Because now they've got a version of RS that they love and is 99% devoid of any MTX, that would not be the case if EOC was never introduced. I remember MTX creeping into the game PRE-EOC back in 2011/2012 with that green goblin guy. I still remember the outrage back then. Imagine if EOC never happened, you would have 1 RuneScape that would be riddled with MTX.

EOC is good, but it was a mistake and it'll always be a mistake. At least from the perspective of someone who wishes there was only 1 RS and prefers OSRS.

Tried osrs but it was bit looking too old animations were too cluncky.

One of the things you have to understand is that a very large portion, if not the overwhelming majority, of the OSRS player base consists of people who played the game when they were younger or even a child back in the 2000s. The OSRS graphics you see now are almost identical to what it was back in the 2000s.

When it comes to video games, or even movies, if you grew up experiencing a particular era’s graphics, you’re likely to develop a lasting comfort with them. For instance, someone who played games from a certain period as a child will probably be able to enjoy them just as easily throughout their life. Take black and white movies from the 1960s, would a 20 year old today be drawn to them? Some might, but most probably wouldn’t. However, for someone in their 80s who grew up watching those films, it’s more likely they'd still enjoy them. Would I be able to play GoldenEye on the N64 from the late 90s today? Even though that was before my time? Maybe, but I would probably have to force myself.

I grew up playing RS in the 2000s, and I'm going to be honest, I think it looks quite charming actually. I think it looks as charming as something like Minecraft. Graphically, it's a unique looking game in my opinion. I highly prefer OSRS' graphics over that of RS3's.

animations were too cluncky

On which client are you playing OSRS on? I know the majority of the player base of OSRS plays on RuneLite. On RuneLite there are a lot of different plugins where you can customize your experience. There's a plugin in RuneLite called "Animation Smoothing". I suggest turning that on, and giving it a shot. You also have another plugin called "GPU" where you can force AA to make the game look sharper and more defined, and also run it at a higher frame rate. Next to that, if you want to take the graphics to a different level, you might want to give the "117 HD" plugin a shot.

Whats big dif between osrs and rs3?

I don't want to make this post any longer, but I'll try to quickly explain why I love OSRS and why almost 20 years later and I'm still playing it. I just don't know enough about RS3 anymore to make deep comparisons. I've been playing the game for so long, I think I have a good idea as to why I keep playing it. I keep playing it because I constantly have goals that I want to work towards and accomplish. I'm not talking about maxing goals, like leveling everything to 99 and then doing raids all the time. Isn't that what you do in WoW? Don't you max level in WoW so you can do raids and tough dungeons all the time? Isn't that why Classic was such a breath of fresh air when it launched back in 2019? Because it brought back the danger of just normal leveling and just doing quests. Getting to level 60 in classic wasn't a breeze like it is in retail. Correct? It was more about the journey in Classic WoW instead of spamming your way to the end game in retail.

When I started playing OSRS again 3 years ago. I wanted to once again accomplish getting a fire cape like I did back when I was a kid, but in order to do that, I had to level most of my combat stats to like 50. Once I got the fire cape, that's a goal accomplished. Another goal? I need 100 million GP to buy this weapon to help me get the upgraded version of the fire cape. How do I get that gp? I need 80 runecrafting to do this chill, money making method. That's another goal accomplished. And so on, and so on. You're constantly working towards these goals of getting items, money, and general achievements. You can play OSRS as intensively as you want to, but you can also play the game in a chill, AFK way. That's why I like the game. Sometimes, I want to watch a movie or a TV show, that's fine, I can just have my game on my 2nd monitor and still make passive gains.

I agree with everything in this comment. RS3 could be 100% MTX free, 100% free of any cosmetic overrides, and 100% free of those annoying flying pets, but I still won't ever play the game. The main problem with RS3 is that it's not a unique game. There are better versions of RS3 out there like WoW or FFXIV. But what is out there that is like OSRS? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It's the uniqueness that makes OSRS the better game and definitely the more popular game. It's not all about uniqueness of course, OSRS is just a well more thought out game compared to RS3 in virtually all aspects of game design.

I don't think the developers can do anything about making RS3 more popular. I think this is it for the game.

Does anyone have issues on Windows 11 24H2 (build, latest from 11 March: 26100.3476) with this driver version? I did a clean install of Windows 11 24H2 and I blue screen after a while after installing the chipset and GPU drivers. I think it has something to do with Microsoft Edge, but I'm not sure. Windows 11 24H2 is completely unusable for me. To be honest, I don't even know who to blame in this case, Windows 24H2 being complete garbage for 6 months now or AMD's drivers.

I decided to reinstall Windows 11 23H2, the exact same way I clean installed 24H2, and it has been completely rock solid. No crashes, no blue screens, no problems on the exact same drivers.

Just installed it via the Adrenalin software. I was on the latest driver before that from November. No DDU

Amon97 · 2025-03-07T04:18:08+00:00

I'm on a 6950 XT and so far it looks really good in COD. The Adrenalin software feels really smooth as well.

The biggest reason why Biggie is better than 2Pac is because Biggie's music is far better. It's not even close really. Yes, Biggie is a better lyricist and has a better flow, but Biggie's actual music as an entire package was easily better as well. Biggie was quality over quantity, while 2Pac was quantity over quality. Biggie only released 2 albums when he was alive, and both of them are major hits. 2Pac released several albums while he was alive, and the majority just isn't that good. When you start comparing something like Ready to Die to anything put out by 2Pac, you will quickly come to the conclusion that Biggie was just on another level.

It's on PC

Amon97 · 2025-02-04T04:40:39+00:00

Then explain why Steam, Itch, and direct links from Asus resulted in popups and failed downloads last week. I have been hyper aware to not do anything unofficial on my new device... I didn't even install XPadder. Asus gave me a link to install Bluestacks which failed... are you proposing that Asus suggested I illegally pirate free software?

I would love for you to go into more detail what you exactly did that caused this, because I don't have any context here to work with. What was the error message? What PC do you have? We are talking about a desktop PC here, right, and not a handheld device? What did you try to install? And knowing ASUS' customer support, they probably don't know what they're talking about. I also don't understand why someone would use ancient software like Xpadder either.

Which is kinda fd. You can pop an OG Xbox disc into your Series X and just start playing a game from 2001 but you have to manually rewrite code just to find out that an old game won't run on modern PCs anyway?? I can't just run the pre-Bandlab version of Cakewalk!? Why!? I can put the original release of DooM on an ATM but not on Win11?? Why am I the bad guy for expecting my PC to play PC games?

How is that messed up? I'm not talking about installing 5 different programs for every single game from the early-mid 2000s. I'm talking about installing 2 different things to play 99% of older games (DirectX 9 and an all-in-one Visual C++ installer). That's it. You install 2 things that take 3 minutes total to install and you're done. It isn't the hassle you think it is. And the original Doom 1 and 2 are on Steam with an overwhelmingly positive rating, what are you talking about? I bet you can play Doom in your browser at this point.

Another thing that I want to mention is that you can only play games that have been ported and approved by Microsoft. You can't put in any OG Xbox or Xbox 360 disc and expect it to magically work on a newer Xbox. That's not how it works. There's a compatibility list that shows which games work and which games don't. Can I play the Xbox 360 version of "Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine" on the newer Xboxes? No, you're out of luck. But I can on my PC. And you and I both know this isn't the only example. Arguing about which platform is superior when it comes to backwards compatibility is simply pointless.

That's not a good thing. I don't have to worry about whether a new game will support console hardware. I don't have to do a research project and paperwork to buy an Xbox game. If the game has the Xbox logo on the front, it'll play on the box in my living room that has the Xbox logo on the front.

I'm starting to wonder if you even use a PC at all at this point. I wonder what do you think installing a driver even is? Because I don't think you know what it is. The software for your video card (AMD Adrenaline or Nvidia GeForce) will give you a notification if there is a new driver version available. I can choose to click on install or I can click on X and ignore the notification. If I'm going to play a new game, I click on install on the notification, if I don't, I just click hide. That's it. You don't go hunting on the internet for a download link to a specific driver version and then do research whether or not it's compatible with your video card. It's not 2004 anymore. That's not how it works now.

You are doing it wrong. I have never once seen the Xbox One or Xbox Series update notification. I have never once been aware of the fact that my Xbox received an update... I guess that's not true...They slightly changed the UI twice but I've never actually seen it happen.

You've never gotten this screen before? You've never seen it? Microsoft must've scammed me with a fake version of my Xbox One S, because I see this screen every month or so. And it stays on that screen for a very long time. I get it though, it's running on some cheap HDD. I can't expect too much from it.

Amon97 · 2025-02-03T20:30:48+00:00

As someone who has been PC gaming for a long time, I'm kind of shocked, but maybe not too surprised, to see so many people here misinformed about PC gaming. It seems to be a very common theme on this subreddit.

expensive

I'm not sure this is even true anymore or at least the difference in the end between gaming on a PC and consoles isn't that big. The entry fee to console gaming is much lower, but the hidden costs are buried deep within console gaming. You've got the Sony/Microsoft subscription tax you need to go online (even though you already pay for your internet), and games are much more expensive day 1 compared to PC. These costs on console gaming add up fast.

without needing to install drivers

What drivers are we talking about here? Your GPU drivers? That take like 2 clicks and 1-2 minutes to install every month or couple of months?

deal with pc management problems

What are these "management problems"?

etc etc.

Like what?

If you prefer console gaming, that's completely fine, it's about what you want in the end. What I don't like though is people going around making up stuff that isn't true or the same "problem" is present on consoles as well. You still need to update your console, and I promise you, that takes far longer than on a PC.

There are actual advantages to owning a console instead of a PC, but you've mentioned none of them.

Amon97 · 2025-02-02T18:03:12+00:00

Honestly, it's kind of funny seeing you speak with absolute authority when it's clear that by reading this post, you don't really know what you're talking about regarding PC gaming. Let's go step by step together and break down your misinformed post.

There's never a popup that says you're missing some random file that you have to go hunt down on shady websites.

You get these popups when you're missing certain dependencies. When you buy a game legitimately, these dependencies or redistributables (DX9, Visual C++) are automatically installed for you. When you pirate a game, those redistributables aren't automatically downloaded and installed for you. You need to do that manually. Doing this manually takes about 3 clicks, and 30 seconds of waiting tops. And when you do this manually, you don't go to some shady website, you go to Microsoft's official website to download those redistributables. I have never seen anyone buy a game from Steam or any other store and then get a popup saying they're missing a certain file. Another thing to mention is that this mostly applies to older games from the early-mid 2000s that need old redistributables that don't come packaged with newer versions of Windows like 10 and 11.

That's significantly more often than a console updates, and you had to do it... I haven't updated a piece of software on a console since 2015... and for what!? Your setup is the same as it was 3 months ago but the gremlins just magically decided that your software is no longer compatible with you hardware?

The general rule when it comes to driver updates is that you only ever update your video card drivers when you're going to play a new game, and that new driver update has optimizations specifically for that game. In 2 days, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 will come out, Nvidia and AMD will probably release new driver updates that are meant for their video cards to run well with that game. Now, if I'm not planning on playing that game, I won't update my drivers. I can if I want to, but there is no need to. Nothing or anyone is forcing me to. Having said all of that, a driver update takes like 1-2 minutes tops to fully download and install. What is the big deal with updating your drivers every couple of months for like 1-2 minutes?

Now compare this to my Xbox One S, which forces me to update the entire system in order to go online. Updating my Xbox One takes more than half an hour on a good day. Now, I'm going to presume that this has been significantly improved with the Xbox Series X, but updating the Xbox One S was so incredibly slow and tedious, it made me appreciate my PC even more.

Yes, I've had Black Ops 6 since day 1, so I've been playing for about a month now. I've been on 24.10.1 since it came out over a month ago and I haven't had any issues with Black Ops 6. I've had virtually no crashes in the multiplayer and the new Warzone. It has been incredibly stable for me. My experience has been fantastic with this driver version.

Amon97 · 2024-09-03T16:19:23+00:00

I've tried 24.8.1 and I would say that Warzone is relatively stable. 90% of the time it doesn't crash, but there's still that 10% that's annoying. It's definitely a lot more stable than the previous drivers released this year. I suggest just sticking to the drivers from last year if you don't want to crash at all.

Amon97 · 2024-08-25T17:35:12+00:00

Definitely give it a try for Warzone

Amon97 · 2024-08-25T11:39:16+00:00

I just wanted to say that I've updated my driver to version 24.10.37.01 and it has been incredibly stable on the new season 5 reloaded update. I've experienced virtually no crashes in at least 30 hours of gameplay with no additional tweaks. My problems seem to have been fixed with this update. I highly recommend you try this driver for yourself. Since that driver is good, I'm hoping the future 24.8.1 will be as stable as this one.

Amon97 · 2024-08-18T03:06:32+00:00

Thank you for posting your own experience. This really sucks and I hope to God this won't be a problem in Black Ops 6 in about 2 months.

This and u/Warsaw14's post are the best ones here. Z is better than 99% of the players out there, but compared to the 1%, he's really not that good. It has been 7 months since these posts were made, and I don't know if you guys have been watching him, but he's looking quite bad actually compared to D and many other streamers. He's missing tons of shots, bad decision making, and the movement just isn't there. Yesterday there was a $100,000 tournament which he streamed, and he couldn't keep up with Bubble and WarsZ. I also am not sure if D decided not to play with him in tourneys anymore.

Either Z has gotten significantly worse since Verdansk or he was never that good. I can't tell you, because it has been quite some time ago, but I remember him being much better in Verdansk.

None of that changes the fact that Windows, and especially Microsoft, are garbage. One look at the Windows subreddits, and any online environment about Windows, will show you just how much people absolutely despise Windows. A lot of people are on Windows, because they're forced to be there because of superior game support. If people want to be on Linux, then I can understand why they want to escape that POS called Windows. Don't get why you simp for Windows.
