Game crashes for me at startup, since last update

[Mercenaru]

Yesterday morning, the game ran fine.

So did the whole week, 7-10 past days, since I came back to For Honor.
And I played every day ; even multiple sessions per day.

Today, AFTER update, the game crashes immediatly as the first movie/ splash screen comes up.
I get the message box that the game crashed > I already dispatched the crash report.

Verify integrity Did Not solve the issue.



But I lost the Orders for today.
Also, 1 day of Champion Status.



I doubt they will fix the issue at the first hour of the day ; and they probably have thousands of stuff to fix already, by now.

And today, is Friday.
If they don't fix it today - I guess they don't work in weekends, so I might as well say goodbye to my 1 week of Champion Status.


Thank you Ubisoft !

Have you verified local files on steam ?

I already clarified that ! ^

Fixed the issue by, probably, installing the newest nVidia driver.

I also did some other steps, I will paste my comment below, which I posted on another thread.
Maybe it will help someone.

Hey, I fixed my issue. For Honor runs for me again !

I don't know exactly what fixed it - but I second the guy above > you should try to update your video driver, install the latest. Start from here.

I installed the video driver from nVidia, released this week (3 days ago).
But this was the last step, I actually did.

I also installed & repaired, all the "redistributables" from the Steam Shared folder. (found in your default Steam folder>steamapps>common)
All the C++ redistributables, all the "dot net". And even the DirectX there.
(don't update the PhysX, it's an very old version there)
All of them executed with "run as administrator".

I also installed the network driver as well, though I don't think there was an issue here.



Probably only the video driver, was needed.
Update us, if you get it working again.

Drivers issue probably then, good to know, weird that something from steam got damaged apparently ?

The weirdest for me is that, the "old" driver was fine a day before ; but not the following day.

Usually this would happen, if the game's engine would get a severe-core change to it's graphics renderer, or something like that. (think of For Honor 2.0, when it happened, with the new graphics)

But I doubt it was the case again, with the last update.

And No, nothing from Steam was damaged.
Those files are from Microsoft, which Steam stores just in case a certain game might need it.
Almost every game requires a certain software, from those folders, in order to run.
Especially the case, with games before 2020.

Might be related to some windows update then ? I have zero crashing on my end, only disconnects
