It won't start, help!
I really want to play the game but the game doesn't start.
It shows the splashscreen, then it starts uplay en then it's gone. No errors or anything
Sometimes it is even still running in the background in taskmanager and it's not doing ♥♥♥♥.

PC Specs:
i7-4790K
16GB DDR3 RAM
Asus Strix GTX1070 O8GB

Can someone help me? I really want to play the game.

UPDATE 1:
got in contact with ubisoft. they said that i needed to disable all unnecessary programs and delete the watch dogs 2 config file. Did didn't work and the config file wasn't even created yet.
will contact them again soon
UPDATE 2:
haven't heard from ubisoft again but after toher games started to act weird I went to investigate my PC hardware. Turns out that my HDD which contains all my games was broken. Removed the HDD and installed the game on my SSD and now it works perfectly.

go into U play and disable the u play overlay in the settings, then launch the game via u play with steam open, i had this problem and this worked for me. it is under the general tab you should uncheck "enable in game overlay for supported games"
