[FIXED] The game won't launch

[Skilze]

I bought the game yesterday through Steam.Whenever I try and launch the game either through Steam or Uplay a splash screen shows up and then the game icon shows up in my taskbar and disappears immediately. I've figured out that the Battleye launcher crashes without giving me any error messages. I tried literally every possible thing: I reinstalled the game 2 times, verified the game's cache, reinstalled Uplay several times, ran the game's .exe file as an admin and compatible to Windows 7 (Im using Windows 10 64-bit), disabled my firewall and antivirus, rolled back my Nvidia drivers, etc.My PC meets both minimum and recommended requirements for this product... I've always wanted to try out Seige during this weekend but what I've been doing the past hours is finding a solution for this issue.. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

MY PERSONAL FIX
When I tried to open the game from steam's folder it gave an error like "missing vcredist140.dll". You can install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable from Microsoft's site OR if it's already installed you can fix it from program add/remove. This fixed it for me, I hope it helps.

Ok guys I just found the solution, at least it work for me.

1) Make sure your graphic driver is up to date (If u just update it, make sure to restart your computer afterwards)
2) Log out from Uplay and close it.(Most important step)
3) Verify game cache (If you have not done it yet)
4) Start rainbow six and Uplay will open and ask to link your account.
5) Then you game will start automatically! :Original_Assassin:

p/s : Restart Steam before doing step 4 if these steps did not work for you.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY GAME CACHE?!

Right click on game in steam> properties> local files> verify game cache. It will check the game's files and verify if they are right, else it will re-download required files.

It doesnt work. I verify the game cache and it ask me if i want to remove battleye so i say yes. However, when i run rainbow, having followed all your steps, it asks me if i want to allow battleye to make changes to my device so i click 'yes' cause i have to then it re-installs it. Then the issue goes all the way back to the beginning again when it cant open. It doesnt ask me for password or username after i've logged out of uplay and open rainbow, is that meant to happen?

Please help i really like this game btw i have just bought it, played it once, turned it off and couldnt turn it back on if that is important

I haven't checked all possible solution posts but most of them did not help me at all. One easy but not so fun solution is to re-install windows.
I couldnt let go because I wanted Siege to work on my fast SSD drive.
Luckily I got an error message which said my "xxx-xxx-xxx-dll- is missing. Google said it was part of "Microsoft Visual C++ 201X redistributable (x86/x64)" !!! BINGO!
Solution = go to your "Control Panel" --> "Programs and Features" --> click "Microsoft Visual C++ 201X redistributable (x86/x64)" or what ever is newest and "Repair" (Change-->Repair). You probably have several of them installed so try and do that Repair for all of them if needed and re-boot computer when asked.
Now try to launch Siege if you have it already installed. (Launching takes a little while so just wait.)

PewPew!!!

EDIT: My problem was that Siege and uplay (including battle eye) were succesfully installed but game didn't launch. No error messages, nothing. For a few seconds processor load went up to 15-20% but nothing happened. Uplay-steam link worked like it should but game did not launch. I tried every other "fix" available (verify files,administrator privliges,compability mode, cloud save syncro, etc etc...) but this one works as well as re-installing whole windows because it "resets" those *.dll files on your system.
I found out that Ccleaner / Advanced systemcare registry & file sweepers (or similar) apparently removed more crap from my system than I ever wanted.
What can you say, its Windows!

OH MY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GOD YOU JESUS MAN

[thickdickdaddy27]

Nvm it worked once and that's it

If anyone still has the problem where the game launches for a few seconds without anything happening after uninstalling and reinstalling uplay seemed to work for me. Don't worry you don't have to reinstall all your uplay games.

All my game does is say "Preparing to launch Rainbow Six Siege" then disappear.
