An integral part of Microsoft’s commitment to gaming, DX12 Ultimate works synergistically with other innovations like Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Bar to bring the cohesive and high-performance experiences gamers deserve. The one where it usually synchronizes achievements and whatnot.DirectX 12 Ultimate is the new gold standard for gaming graphics on both PC and the next generation of Xbox consoles: It delivers movie-quality visuals through DirectX Raytracing, boosts framerate through Variable Rate Shading, enables fast game load with beautiful high-resolution textures through Sampler Feedback, and unlocks vast open and detailed worlds through Mesh Shaders. If I try through the ubisoft conect launcher it is eternally stuck on the ubisoft connect loading window that shows before the Valhalla banner.

Not sure if related, but another issue I've been having after the update is that I can no longer launch the game through ubisoft connect's 'play' button. Already tried disabling background applications, not like this would be the issue anyway but this is part of the trash tier troubleshooting questions so I just wanted to take this out of the way. Already tried uninstalling and downloading the whole 120gb again for a fresh install. Everything was working just fine before I updated the game. Yes my windows is up to date and so are my drivers, please spare me the usual 'are you sure it's plugged to an outlet sir?' trash tier of troubleshooting. Same computer, same specs, same windows, etc. After this latest update I now have a CTD every 5-10 minutes. I have around 120 hours of played time in this game prior to the latest update and I've never had a single CTD.
