GENERAL FIXES

Generally speaking, some basic troubleshooting tips should always help you resolve whatever issue you are facing with the PC version of any game. The same holds true of For Honor as well. If you are running into problems, maybe first attempt the following steps, and if they don’t work out, look into some of the more specific fixes we have below.

  • Make sure the drivers on your PC are updated
  • If you have two GPUs, make sure yo are using the discrete GPU instead of the integrated one
  • Set For Honor‘s priority to High in the Task Manager
  • Turn off any background programs, including firewalls, chat clients,  video recorders, and overlays
  • Try lowering visual settings on the game to see if that improves game performance

  • Error code 10018: Close the game, use the Task Manager to kill all background and extraneous processes. Start the game again.

STUTTERING:

XBOX CONTROLLER BUTTON MAPPING ISSUES
