Game Doesn't Even Launch

[DoctorDopamine]

I have been trying to troubleshoot this game for a couple of days now. I exhausted all possible troubleshooting support; I am at the point of asking for a refund. All these people are enjoying the game, and I am confused as to why it won't even launch on my system. Every game in my library works accept this one.

This is why all this account linking and everyone trying to be Netflix is getting old! And it is much more hindering than convenient. It makes everything feel like trying to unravel a tank of knotted spaghetti: "Link this account, that account, also your Xbox and Playstation Account, Use qr codes, and email verifications. Keycode Verification, subscribe to this, Run Admin, disable overlays, turn this line of code from 0 to 1... reinstall, wait another 4hrs" Like BRUH! I JUST WANT TO PLAY THE GAME! I am already done with this.

Whatever happened to "download, install, play"?

What specs?
GPU, CPU, RAM, driver-Version......

And what happens?
Error-code or something similiar?

If you have a Nvidia GPU and got the newest driver = chances are high that you fix your Problem with a older driver.


I got 0 problems
Got around 50hours in shadows (uplay)
Its a ubisoft game so its easy to buy it on ubi.
If you got it there you only need 1 launcher and not 2

Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700K 3.60 GHz

System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor



No error code. Just Launch, says it's running for a nano second, and it just stops. No error or explanation of what happened. I thought it was just Steam not connected with UBI-Connect or something. Turns out, nope, they are connected. Shadows just doesn't launch. Though every game I have does. I reinstalled 4 times already for a total of 16hrs of installing this game. Nothing...

The driver is up to date. Disabled Overlays, ran administrator, I did the whole works. I even had to change code from 0 to 1 in some weird file.

i had the same problem happen to me, but this fixed it. from pcgamingwiki
Game does not launch after clicking Play in Steam • Link

If Ubisoft Connect is already running in the background when attempting to play the Steam version for the first time, the game may fail to launch after the Ubisoft Connect installation step. Completely closing out of Ubisoft Connect before clicking Play may resolve this issue, allowing the game to launch.[5]

yeah i have been having the same issues since launch. sometimes what i do is just restart the computer and then run the game and that works. but damn that is annoying. if there is any other fix that someone knows of please share
