Can't launch game

[Qing]

It shows 88500008. Something went wrong.
WTF

I have the same issue. Tried fixes for similar error (8850014) and the support page for a response code, but I didn't get a code? Haven't even played a real minute of the game or seen the main menu. Adding it to firewalls/turning off firewalls/updating firmware/hardware/software didn't help; can't even attempt to try this without steam and Uplay active.

Had installed this game on my laptop two weeks back and is working on my lappy but today i also installed it on my pc just a few hours ago and its showing the 88500005 error.

Have also tried to freshly install the game, reinstall steam, validating the game files. Still nothing.

FC Primal is working on my lappy but not on my pc. Don't know whats up with that.....:(

Hey everybody,

We're currently investigating the 88500005 error message. Sorry for any inconvenience caused in the meantime.

Wow .... i only want to play this game but i cant beacause of some problems (errorcode: 88500002 ) why they dont fix it?

[Alienowl]

Won't launch for me either. I'm not getting an error code. It just shows the splash screen and doesn't do anything.

so the game is broken, does it support win 10? or should we revert back to win32 just because..or wait it's probably our win 10 security which we cant shut off for a long period or our videocard and ram..yea that splash is really something that requires at least 1600 ram extra or because we dont have multiple screens or because we do have multiple screens or because we did not buy it on ubisoft directly (probably gonna tell us that we need to buy it there then) soo many problems to deal with..

and then you get customers like myself who can be an **** but proves a point..''have your product in a finished state that it can run without a hitch on the minimum requirements'' <--thats the hard part isnt it?

now since i got the same problem with your product let me sum my own components down here...:

system: win 10 home 64bits (fully updated etc etc)
processor: intel core i7-6700.
Ram memory: 32768MB RAM
HDD memory used / unused: 3662MB / 61788MB.
DX version: dx-12.
videocard: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1070 <--came out this month.
screen count is 1 whole screen for my games..
i build this thing earlier this week..so outdated stuff is not on my end.. if anything i'm ore inclined to head over and inforce corporate punishment instead of firing anyone..maybe that will work to make sure you get a working product to the customer..instead of this B****S***.

Hi survivors!
We just found the issue and fixed it.
Sorry for yesterday's issue, it's working as intended now and you should be able to roam the world of Oros (careful with the sabretooth tigers).
Good hunt :)

I still can't get past the loading screen gets to end then mobile phone ringing sound, voices a whoosh then all that happens is the music keeps playing nothing else got standard high spec gear Win10, 4.4 gig proc, 16giig ram, ranger V11 mobo, nvidia gtx970 only game ever to have done this, ie never starts WHEN are you going to fix this? your support stinks had two tickets, all they wont to know is dxdiag log, what a joke.

I bought the game last night and I am getting the 88500005 message during the splash. I sent in an error code report to the support team. I've reinstalled the game twice, and am trying once more. What exactly did you do to fix it on Aug. 10th?

[Sparhawk]

Same problem here. Tried the firewall fix but seems to be a different problem.

[Killer]

Same problem, different code.
I just bought this too and I am getting 88500005 error, nothing about this error anywhere online. Can anybody help?
