2. Set an FPS Limit

If, in case, you don’t have higher RAM or a powerful graphics card, then we recommend you set a maximum FPS limit for the Assassin’s Creed Mirage game on the PC. It’ll reduce the extra load from the CPU or GPU, and you may get minor crashes than before. You can play the game quite smoothly if you see the FPS limit to 60FPS maximum or a lower 30FPS.

Open Assassin’s Creed Mirage > head over to the graphics/display settings > video > advanced settings > Enable FPS Lock and set it to 30/60FPS maximum even though your PC can run higher FPS.

3. Run as an Administrator

Check whether you’re running your Assassin’s Creed Mirage executable file or the Ubisoft game launcher as an administrator. If not, it could be one of the reasons behind such an issue. Just right-click on the game exe or Ubisoft launcher exe file and select Run as administrator, then click Yes (if prompted by UAC) to fix the issue.

Right-click on the Assassin’s Creed Mirage exe shortcut file on your PC.
Now, select Properties > Click on the Compatibility tab.

Make sure to click on the Run this program as an administrator checkbox to checkmark it.
Click on Apply and select OK to save changes.

As mentioned, do the same steps for your Ubisoft launcher, too.

4. Verify and Repair Games via Ubisoft Connect

If you’re still experiencing issues with the Assassin’s Creed Mirage game crashing, then make sure to verify your installed game files with the Ubisoft Connect software by following the steps below:

For Ubisoft Connect:

Open the Ubisoft Connect software on the PC.
Click on the Games tab > Select the Assassin’s Creed Mirage game tile.
Now, select the arrow icon on the bottom right side.
A drop-down menu will appear > Click on Verify files.
If prompted, click on Repair.
Finally, Ubisoft Connect will start repairing any missing or corrupted files (if any). Please wait for it to be complete.
Once done, close Ubisoft Connect and the game if running, and restart your computer to check for the issue.

For Epic:

Open the Epic Games Launcher > Click on Library.
Click on the three-dots icon next to The Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
Click on Verify > Wait for the process to complete and restart the launcher.
It should resolve the Assassin’s Creed Mirage Crashing issue on the PC.

5. Update Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable

You can also try updating the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable on your Windows computer to check whether the startup crashing issue has been fixed.

Head over to the official Microsoft website here and download the file.
Next, install the exe file and restart the PC to apply changes.

6. Update DirectX

Go to this official link and download the DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer file on your PC.
Then install it and check for the latest DirectX updates.
Once done, restart your computer to apply changes.

You can finally check the latest DirectX version on your computer from the DirectX Diagnostic Tool. Press Win+R keys to open Run > Type dxdiag and hit Enter.

7. Update GPU Drivers

If in case, your graphics driver version becomes outdated or has some issues; you may encounter crashing issues with the newly released game titles. Make sure to update the graphics driver on your PC to cross-check for the issue. To do so:

Press the Windows + X keys to open the Quick Link Menu.
Now, click on Device Manager from the list > Double-click on Display adapters.
Right-click on the dedicated graphics card that you’re using.

Next, select Update driver > Choose to Search automatically for drivers.
If an update is available, the system will automatically download & install it.
Once done, restart the computer to apply changes immediately.

In most scenarios, this method may help you fix your games’ graphical glitches, crashes, lags, and stuttering issues. If not, try following the next method.

8. Update The Assassin’s Creed Mirage

We should also recommend you manually check for the game update at your end via the respective game client to ensure no outdated game version conflicts with the game launching. An outdated game patch version can trigger several potential issues that might trigger crashes. To do this:

Open the Epic Games Launcher > Head over to Library.
Click the three-dot icon next to The Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
Make sure the Auto Update option is turned on.
It should automatically install the available update of the game.

9. Try Disabling Overlay Apps

As per some affected players, disabling overlay apps on the Windows computer before launching and playing the game can also help reduce crashes or other glitches. Just make sure to disable in-game overlay apps like Discord or Steam overlay. You can additionally turn off the MSI Afterburner tool, Nvidia GeForce Experience tool, Xbox Game Bar, etc.

10. Disable Antivirus and Firewall Program

Sometimes, turning off the antivirus software and the firewall program can help the system run apps or games freely without any prevention. You should also turn off the real-time protection feature. Otherwise, try whitelisting the game file directly from the antivirus program to check for the issue.

Click on the Start menu > Type Control Panel and click on it.
Now, type firewall in the search box > Click on Windows Firewall.
From the left pane, click on Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
Select Turn off Windows Firewall for the Private, Domain, and Public Network Settings.
Finally, reboot the PC to apply changes and try checking the issue.

Now, you’ll have to disable the anti-virus protection (Windows Defender) as well by following the steps below:

Head over to the Windows Settings > Privacy and Security.
Now, go to Windows Security > Virus & Threat Protection.
Click on Manage settings >Then turn off the Real-time Protection option.
Once done, make sure to reboot your PC to apply changes.

Turn it off properly even using third-party antivirus software on your PC.

11. Perform a Clean Boot

Sometimes, a couple of programs or their services can run in the background and start automatically while booting the Windows system by default. Those services or programs can consume a lot of system resources that may eventually trouble you. Make sure to perform a clean boot by simply turning them off.

Press the Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog box.
Now, type msconfig and hit Enter to open the System Configuration window.
Go to the Services tab > Enable the Hide all Microsoft services checkbox.

Click on Disable All.
Click on Apply and then OK to save changes.
Now, click on the Startup tab > Click on Open Task Manager.
Under the Startup tab from the Task Manager interface, click on the tasks enabled for startup boot > Click on Disable.
Select the high-impact startup programs and disable them one by one.
Once all is done, restart your PC to apply changes.
Finally, check whether the Assassin’s Creed Mirage Crashing issue on the PC has been fixed.

12. Close Unnecessary Background Tasks

It may also be possible that some of the tasks or programs are always running in the background on your PC and are troubling you while launching other apps or games. By turning them off, you’ll free up some CPU/RAM space whatsoever.

Press the Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys to open Task Manager.
Click on the Processes tab > Select the task you want to close.

Once selected, click on End Task. Make sure to do the steps for each task individually.
Once done, restart your computer to change effects immediately.

13. Check for Windows Updates

If, in case, your Windows OS version or the build version becomes outdated for a while, then make sure to check for the Windows updates completely. The latest update always offers new features bug fixes, other improvements, etc. Even if a cumulative update or security patch update is available, you should install it.

Press the Windows + I keys to open up the Windows Settings menu.
Next, click on Update & Security > Select Check for updates under the Windows Update section.

If there is a feature update available, select Download and Install.
Wait for some time until the update gets completed.
Finally, reboot your PC to apply changes immediately.
