Game won't launch

[Drew]

So I've been trying every fix i can find and the only one i have found so far is go into the steam folder and right click the rungame.exe and run as admin. this still doesn't get the game going for me. Tempted just to contact steam and get a refund for this broken game >.> but i want to play it lol. Anyone find any other fixes or heard anything i might not have?

The exactly same thing is happening to me

Same thing, tried vcredist x64 reinstall, verified files no problem,tried turning off ubiplay icloud, didnt' help...game was perfect for me before the patch, now screen flashes the logo a couple times and dies, won;t launch. Pretty frustrating to spend so much of my time on this.

Copy and Pasted from my post on the Ubisoft forum:

Not working for me either. I have bought the game on Steam and Uplay but encounter the same issue on both platforms of the splash screen showing for a few seconds then disappearing with no message.

-I have tried verifying the integrity of all files from Steam and Uplay.
-I have installed the game on my os drive and one of the other internal drives in my computer while having Steam and Uplay already installed on the os drive.
-I tried repairing the directx, vc redists and EAC.
-I've tried launching the game through Steam, Uplay and both executables in the game folder when installed through Steam and Uplay.

I first bought the game through G(2)A.com in the form of a Steam Gift so I can't get a refund on that and apparently Uplay doesn't handle refunds the same way Steam does which means that I've spent $115 for 2 copies of the standard edition of the game and have gotten nothing to show for it. Hopefully there is a fix before "late March/ early April".

Edit: Figured that I would add my pc specs
i7 4930k at 4.5GHz
780ti
Samsung 840 evo - os drive
WD Caviar Black - the other internal drive I installed the game on
16gb ram
rampage iv black edition motherboard

if you are trying to use a controller dont. unplug any controller sensors and usbs that would be or are connected to controllers. that worked for me

I found a solution that has worked for myself.

I found that my download settings in Uplay had changed from my "E:/Ubisoft Game Launcher/games/" to the default C:programfiles (x86)/Ubisoft Game Launcher/games/

I deleted both versions of the folders, and reinstalled Uplay and setting the location back to my E:

Game runs again with no loss of data.

Hope this helps.
