game crashes on start up

[jorgonz45]

does anyone know a fix for this? ive tried repairing the vc++2012 but didnt work so idk what to do

Try installing DirectX from '\Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands\support\DirectX', that fixed my sudden crashes couple months ago. Verify game files, disable overlays, install really old GPU drivers.

i have directx12 but it didn't let me download others cuz i had the most recent one

[GogglezDoNuffin]

DXSETUP didn't do anything? Some users had issues with specific drivers or GPU, you could try using older drivers. At one point I used like 1.5 year old driver, because with newest one, game always closed at start.

This might also help https://www.ubisoft.com/en-gb/help/connectivity-and-performance/article/emptying-the-cache-of-ubisoft-connect/000061966

OC'd CPU or GPU can also cause crashes.

I also remember that someone had crashes and disabling program 'X' worked, it was Razer Synapse or some similar program.

high chance you forgot to enable the Antivirus exception.. you have to allow all 3 Pop-ups
-> every time UbisoftConnect gets an update remember this
