The port fowarding thing isnt the issue, Tried that, most of us have....

This is going to sound so simple it's stupid...
everyone having this problem I am going to guess are using the xbox pc controlers?

Step 1) ok.... plug in controler.
Step 2) Start game
Step 3) goto Options | Control Layouts - switch to keyboard and mouse. Apply settings
Step 4) Start mission / new game
Step 5) once loaded into the level go back to options and change back to your controler and enjoy playing

This got the game working for me, DX9. DX11 does not load.

Thx this one did it for me as well! (Uplay Version)

For the record, and it really sounds stupid: You have to change the control layout from "Keyboard and Mouse" to "your_controller_name". Then it works… fascinating. It was definitely not about the firewall config for me!

This worked perfectly, many thanks. Full DX11 working well.

Unfortunately none of these fixes are working for me, both the port forwarding / firewall and changing the controller doesn't do anything, press new story, get about 5 seconds then crash back to the main menu screen, no idea what else to try

U need switch keyboard/gamepad each "back to menu" and when you see "loading" in the corner on black background, press enter

sounds stupid but it works, when I tried it it worked for me the first time and after 3 minutes the other time but works. done first mission right now

After a whole ton of tinkering, the solution for me was just to try to launch missions until it worked. No options changing, no port forwarding, no adapter disabling, nothing. Just keep trying. Has not taken me more than five attempts to launch a mission, and once there is a success, you can launch as many missions as you'd like until you end the program again. On average the second or third try is successful for me.

I realize this post is over a year old, but who knows, maybe someone else will find this helpful.

For clarity: Launch mission -> kicked back to menu during mission opening cutscene -> Try again -> Repeat until you see the "skip" prompt appear, which means you can now play as long as you'd like.
