FH5 Crash (Avast Antivirus) Failure Solution!

[firuell]

Found a solution to kick the game while displaying the logo if you have Avast!
Instruction:
First open Avast and go to Settings > Troubleshooting and turn off the self defense module(this is only temporary).

Set your explorer to show hidden files and then browse to "C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast" (it will be there even if Avast is not installed on your C drive) and open "avast5.ini" in Notepad (I use Notepad++) as an admin. Under the common section add "VirtualizationMechanisms=0" (without quotes) and save the file.

Restart your PC and re-enable the self defense module and the game should launch without crashing.
GLHF! ;)

thanks for this, it worked for me but on my particular version was simply to disable the "hardware-assisted virtualization" under settings » troubleshooting section
