I have an i7700k @ 4.2 Ghz CPU with a 1070 GTX graphics card and 16 Gb of ram and Assassins' creed Valhalla will not launch. I have tried run as administrator and verify files. Nothing has worked.
Please assist

SO typical Ubisoft not having their [censored] together when launching a new game. There is always something wrong.

Btw. i Bought the game and i cant get through the launcher staret either. it just opens then stops loading. Whin i got into taskmanager i can se that the startup dosn't even use any CPU. It's lie it just had a seizure and stopped loading.

@sinnertv yeah is for a lot of people.
Now i can see an update by 1,66gb but nothing resolved the issue.

Okay at least I am not alone

@dukyyyy Yeah it's unbelieveablel. You should think that with such a big game company they would know how to make a game start up without bugs.

@sinnertv. It is weird becuase my mate has it on xbox with no issues. PC version cost $20 more in Australia and doesnt even load

Yeah same here, just the picture with the two axes and nothing more, even after the Update and everything you can do for troubleshooting

@ur_mate It's wierd and i think it willt ake Ubisoft a long time to troubleshoot, because so many people got problems with the launcher start up acting differently.

Hi Guys,

I had the same issue and i use a MSI gaming taptop.
I closed Dragon Center, and that resolved the issue for me.
I've read another post where they told you to shut down afterburner if you use that.

Hope it helps for you.

Same here on PC. Pre-downloaded but still won't launch, says it is not available until 11/10/2020 - well it's 7AM, so it should have unlocked seven hours ago. Guess I'll have to try again after work, but it's going to be a looooong day waiting. Game companies should understand that people get excited for their games and pre-order them because want to play them when they release. I might only have an hour or two before work, but it would have been nice to set up the game, start a first mission, and look at it running a bit before having to head out.

@ur_mate I had the same issue. I checked the game files no problem detected but it won't launch.

I desinstalled Ubi Connect and the game
I force the reinstallation of the last NVIDIA drivers (the one for this game)
I reinstalled Ubi Connect as an admin and reinstalled the game
I launched it and now it works !!

Hope it helps

if you have ssd and game location is in hdd then it won't work. i had same trouble but i fixed it. transfer to ssd, select locate game in ubisoft connect, locate game in your ssd and play.

It keeps saying thats its not available for me until 11/10/20 and I cant even get to the load screen, never had this problem with Steam what a freaking joke right now

ubisoft is doing release stream on ubisoft nordic in twitch, all go to spam there mby they start to take this issue seriously and trying to even fix it

@ubi-swaggins IF you read what we say, ti is not a CRASH. It is a loading problem. It simply just stops loading the game, and freezes. therefore we do not have any crash logs to submit.

@ur_mate $20 more and absolutely no chance of a refund

My game isn't loading either.

I tried adding a Windows Defender exception for the .exe and installed the newest C visual drivers.

@efetozan Insane that it actually makes a difference. But you are completly right. It now works for me. Thx!

@ur_mate Look at EfeTozan post. This might fix your problem.
