Game isn't launching

[Roaritskylie2424]

So the game isn't launching, is this some BS licencing issue or is this my PC being difficult for no reason?

Blame Ubi-connect. It was giving me problem as well, in addition to asking for stupid permission multiple times. I am refunding this ♥♥♥♥.

Game won't start

I get a message, "The procedure entry point cef_is_cert_status_minor_error could not be located in the dynamic link library libcef.dll".

I have no idea what to do or even try

There appears to be a thread about this and seems to be connected to Uplay. If you have installed, then you might need to clear it out.

Check this thread and see if it works:

did you find any fix???/

[Tóki]

I did actually. Veryfying integrity of game files by right clicking the game > properties > local files fixed the issue. :)

[Hardcorefux]

Hello everyone, sorry to hear you have had problems launching the game and sorry again for our delayed reply during the holidays.

If the Steam launcher refuses to launch the game after pressing play, could you please check through the following steps that have been known to resolve this for other players >

-Make sure you have downloaded, installed and are currently using the new Ubisoft Connect game launcher (formerly Uplay) from our website > https://ubi.li/4vxt9

-Run the game as an Administrator in its Properties option as shown in this guide and launch the game from its .exe file instead of the launcher, to see if the game can be launched an alternative way > https://www.ubisoft.com/en-gb/help/article/000060505

-Change your Windows display resolution to 1920x1080 (HD) in the Windows Display settings, and your DPI setting to 100%, in case the game does not recognize your current resolution, then launch the game. Keep testing higher/more detailed resolutions in the Windows settings, to check if any particular resolution size is causing the issue

-Try verifying the games installation files, in case a corrupted file or missing game file, is causing this issue >
Steam > https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/0C48-FCBD-DA71-93EB

-Please try deleting the Steam cache folders, to delete any temporary files that may be causing this issue > https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/6AD7-820D-8BE5-E51F

-Check your Windows Defender/Firewall/security settings and make sure the game and any of its supporting software such as BattlEye, FairFight, Easy Anticheat etc, are not blocked by Windows as a threat on your PC >

-Check any other Anti-Virus software you may use on your computer, in case the game is blocked from launching or connecting online or quarantined

It’s incredible that a year later this game is still broke. I have tried everything and it won’t even launch.

Hello, I had the same problem and in my case it turned out that the problem was Ubi Connect, all I had to do was turn it off and run the game on Steam, which resulted in automatic launch of Ubi and a message about updating my account with the game. For some reason, if Ubi was already running before starting the game, this message would not trigger and blocked the game from starting. I hope this helps someone.
