Can't start the game [SOLVED]

[sylye]

I just bought the game via Steam platform yesterday and done installed it. But when I tried to start it just now nothing happen and I tried many times by restarting the Windows still not working. After going through the forum, finally I able to find some solutions and solved it. Writing here the step if anyone facing the same issue, so that you won't get frustrated of not able to play this great game.

I am using Windows 7 by the way.

First there is a Ubisoft software installed along the game, but that is the old version. Go to https://uplay.ubi.com/ , install it and register a user account in the Ubisoft. Run the software called 'Uplay' and login into it.

Then go to your Steam software as usual and tried to launch Valiant Hearts. In the Uplay software, it might ask you to link the game into it. Please do so. However after that, you will most likely didn't see the game launched. And if you tried to launch it again, it will say "An error occurred while updating Valiant Hearts (app running)" . Now try to reboot your windows to make sure everything start fresh again.

After rebooting your windows, open your Task Manager. (Mine is Windows 7). Go to 'Processes' tab, and look carefully what program is currently running. Now, go to your Steam software, try to launch Valiant Hearts again. You will notice Valiant Hearts and UbisoftGameLauncher is running now in Task Manager, but yet nothing happen in your screen. Now in the Task Manager, select Valiant Hearts.exe, and click 'End Process', and suddenly, the game is launched now !

I didn't need to manually launch the Uplay software, nor do I need to activate it or put in any key. I just gone through the step mentioned above and I able to start playing the game. If your scenario is not same as mine, then maybe you can try searching in this forum and try few other solution.
