If your PC is not optimized for gaming, which means that you may probably be running older or less powerful machine, be sure to check if it meets Assassin’s Creed Valhalla system requirements. PC players need to do a little extra step than console gamers in ensuring that their PC can run the game. This is applicable whether you are playing Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on a PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S. If Assassin’s Creed Valhalla keeps crashing, freezing, or keeps showing a black screen while unresponsive, the first thing that you should do is to update the game. This is one of the main reasons why developers release updates. Some bugs are known right away while others may take some time to be recognized.


That way we can look for any common factors that might lead us towards another possible cause (and maybe even a fix).There are no perfect games so bugs can be expected from time to time. If you've tried everything in that article, and are running the latest Tools, and you wish to post here to indicate that your problem is still not resolved, please include in your post: your video card model, your host video driver version, the full version number of VMware Workstation/Player you're using, your host OS version, the guest OS name/version, and a description of what you are running inside the guest OS leading up to the crash. The only other VMware-specific thing I'd add to the list would be to check that you are running the latest VMware Tools inside the guest. It has a great list of things to check or try.

If you are encountering this problem, whether with an Nvidia or ATI card (or something else), please read through that article. This "sticky thread" on the Nvidia forums seems to have the best available information on the issue (a "TDR error") and its possible causes.
