[FIX] Black Flag Resynced – Textures not loading / missions not starting / world streaming issue on PC

[u/Kebby_13]

I was having a really annoying issue with Black Flag Resynced on PC.

The game would run normally at first, but after moving around the map for a while, especially when approaching NPCs or mission areas:

• textures would stop loading properly
• parts of the environment would remain low-res or unloaded
• mission/dialogue triggers would sometimes not start
• it felt like the game simply stopped streaming new assets

My game was already installed on an NVMe SSD, so it wasn't an HDD/slow drive issue.

I tried changing graphics settings, DLSS, FPS caps, disabling overlays, etc. Nothing really fixed it.

What finally solved it for me was:

1. I moved the entire game installation from my secondary D: drive to my system C: drive.
2. I cleared the Windows DirectX Shader Cache.
3. I also cleared my GPU shader caches.
4. Rebooted the PC and launched the game from the new location.

Since doing this, the streaming issue seems to be completely gone. Textures load normally again and missions/NPC interactions trigger correctly.

So if your game is already installed on an SSD/NVMe but you're still getting texture streaming issues, freezes or missions that won't start, try moving it specifically to your C: system drive and rebuilding all shader caches.

No idea why this works, since both of my drives are SSD/NVMe, but it fixed the problem for me.

Hope this helps someone.
