Memory Add On then CRASH
I have game through STEAM , PC, 30090 Turbo 24 GB, and have been playing it for ohhhh over 20 hours. In middle of a battle scene, Boom locked up crashed to desktop. Now, I can get the game to load and flashes checking memory add-ons then locks and crashes back to desktop. I've been reading threads for the past two days and NO ONE seems to have a valid fix.

I see one thread that says the latest patch has caused this 93% then crash. I've tried all the stuff suggested, verify, run as admin, reboot etc. Nothing is getting the game to launch past this loading screen spot. does ANYONE have information on this, besides deleting the multiple hours of saved games files and starting completely over.

Thanks.....I really did like the game thus far, but if I can't play it then why have it ??

Save file might be corrupt.
The way the game works, once you start getting this crash, it'll permanently continue crashing unless you take it to offline mode (via firewall or straight up disconnecting your PC from the internet, up to you), backup and then delete all your save files (you can leave the options file intact at least).
After that, the game will launch.
Start a new game, get the game to create an autosave (very quickly, actually, you don't have to play for more than a minute or so), and then quit the game.
Once you've done that, well... You can try pasting back one of your backed up saves. This part is trial-and-error: You have to see if the save you pasted is corrupt or not. If it is, you'll crash again, and you'll have to start the entire process from scratch.
If it's not corrupt, well... You'll just keep playing from that previous save.

...I do hope you created manual saves and haven't overwritten them all, though.

Thanks Pakundo ! I tried this before I posted and game will launch through it's opening but once it gets to memory check-ons and spins CRASH. I've deleted all my saves from Ubisoft launcher, verify game and launch admin. Boom same thing 93% spins and crashes I have NO IDEA whats going on. Yes, I saved all my many hours of saved files.

Anyone with help would be VERY appreciated.

I did find some .spool files here C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Ubisoft Game Launcher\spool\a346fa44-a266-49cd-80e0-070fadca503e

Are these saved game files as well??

Sorry another question: How do you playoffline?? I tried the unplug as game launches but it will stop with offline error and make you restart to nothing??

0 crashes, 0 framedrops, 0 bugs in my 70 hours so far, perfectly optimized game.

Weird, even though Ubisoft Connect says it can't synchronize achievements (duh, you're offline), it lets you press a skip button, and the game should then launch.
Thanks Pakundo for your help. It was a corrupt saved file causing all the crashes, as you clarified for me. I did exactly what you said; removed all saves, unplugged, got to game played for about 5 minutes let auto save. I then placed each back-up one by one and identified (what I think) is the corrupt save file. I do appreciate your time in helping me :)
