Splash screen and close [POSSIBLE FIX]

[deek]

If you're like me and have decided to download Unity (Uplay) while it's free, you may have been disappointed when you went to open the game and you were met with a splash screen and an instant close.

Things I've tried:
-Reinstall to a new HDD
-Update drivers
-Offline mode
-Change resolution through config file (As a few people suggested)

Turns out my fix was along the lines of changing resolution, however I also had to change my resolution in windows from 3840x2160(4K) down to 1600x900 (Doesn't have to be a specific resolution, just one that is lower than 1080p)

Once the game launches you can set windows back to your usual rez and change to your desired rez in-game.

As I said in the title this is a *POSSIBLE* fix. It worked for me when nothing else would and it may or may not only work for people with monitors with a resolution above 1080p as the game doesn't seem to like trying to start in higher resolutions.

Hope this helps.

Dang it didn't work, I've tried just about everything to get this game working again at this point. :(

Is the game closing straight after the splash screen of Arno and dudes next to him like mine was?
