Hey there It's-okay-, I am terribly sorry to hear that Assassin's Creed Odyssey is taking a long time to load on your computer and I'd like to help with speeding things up if I can. If you haven't tried these steps or workarounds yet, please take the time to do so now, as they are most likely to limit this type of issue and will rule out as much as possible in advance. Additionally, if one of the listed methods does the trick to stop this from happening, you won't need to do the rest:

- Install Ubisoft Connect and the game on the same drive as your OS
- Verify the game files[ubi.li]
- End unnecessary background processes via Task Manager (Overwolf, Steel Series, Corsair, iCue3, Razer, Synapse3, etc.)
- Unplug non-essential peripherals (controllers, additional monitors, streaming equipment, VR equipment, steering wheels and pedals, etc.)
- Clear the Steam cache[ubi.li] and the Ubisoft Connect cache[ubi.li]
- Perform an SFC Scan[support.microsoft.com] on your system (if the scan detects any errors, you may want to repeat this step multiple times until the results are clear)
- Clean reinstall the C++ Redistributables[docs.microsoft.com]
- Some Nvidia players saw an improvement after rolling back their driver version[www.nvidia.com]
- Everything listed in this FAQ article[ubi.li]

If this happens again after those are done, please follow up and let us know by submitting a new support case on our website[ubi.li] for this issue and be sure to list all of the troubleshooting that we completed to save time. Our technical support team can also review your MSinfo and DxDiag files[ubi.li] once they are attached to your case (which you can do in advance). After your case has been received, a specialist will be able to follow up with you directly to proceed further. Thank you!
