Issues

Shader compilation stutters

The game does not come with precompiled shaders. As such, it suffers from shader compilation stutters which are especially noticeably when outdoor freeroaming.

Issues fixed

DX12 Window/Fullscreen Alt+Tab crashes

Disable overlays[citation needed]
  1. Disable the overlay:
    • Steam: right click on game, properties, uncheck enable Steam overlay.
    • Uplay: right click Uplay tray icon (near clock), settings (hamburger nav button in top left), uncheck enable overlay in supported games.
  2. If the problem remains, go to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Tom Clancy's The Division and delete everything except user.bindings.
  3. Restart/start the game and fix the graphics settings if needed (set it to DX12 again).

Controller giving wrong inputs

Inputs do not work for the Xbox Wireless Controller and newer for some users.[citation needed]
Modify configuration file
  1. Go to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Tom Clancy's The Division.
  2. Open state.cfg with a text editor.
  3. Change ControllersMode to 2.
  4. Save the file.
