Ubisoft Games Not Working
This is likely to be a niche issue, but it would seem games running on Ubisoft engines, specifically the AnvilNext engine, won't launch and crash immediately after the splash screen. I have tested using Assassin's Creed Origins, Assassins's Creed Valhalla, Immortals Fenyx Rising. Oddly, Ghost Recon Breakpoint works fine. I'm due to test Assassin's Creed Odyssey as well, and I imagine it too won't launch. They last worked on Windows Build 20231, but have since stopped. I'm now on Build 21277 and am still experiencing the same behaviour. Have tried all the usual tricks to eliminate issues with the game, and contacted Ubisoft Support. Having narrowed it down, it seems extremely likely that Windows is the problem. Is there anyone else who has had similar problems, and is perhaps aware of any tips or tricks to get them working again? My trouble shooting has involved: Disabling all non-Windows Services and trying to run the games Re-installing Ubisoft Connect, and each game (as well as trying different drives) SFC /scannow chkdsk Windows updates Nvidia driver updates Re-installing appropriate Visual C++ distributables I haven't re-installed Windows as this is always an absolute last resort, that I am not prepared to carry out.
