Best AnswerHello there!
I'm sorry to hear that you're encountering trouble when launching Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, and that the game freezes on the splash screen. This issue was marked as resolved by the development team following TU 1.1.1. Thanks to those who have taken the time to share how they were able to resolve their freeze-on-launch issues in this thread!
If you are still encountering issues when launching the game, please ensure that you have first tried these basic PC troubleshooting steps, as these help to resolve common issues behind freezing and crashing. Please note that there can be multiple causes behind a crash or freeze, so we would recommend trying all of these steps as a first step.
Additionally, if you have the game installed on a Microsoft Storage Space Drive, we would recommend moving the game to an alternative ha soft Storage Space Drives, and we recommend installing the game on a hard drive that also has the OS installed. rd drive (ideally the same drive that your OS is installed on). It is important to note that most of our games do not support Microsoft Storage Space Drives, and this can cause problems when launching the game.
If the issue still persists after trying these steps, please can you open a support ticket so our team can take a closer look at your system files. You can open a support ticket via the Ubisoft Support website or by starting a live chat. When opening a support ticket, please have the following ready to include in your support ticket:- An MSinfo and a DxDiag

This finally worked for me!
I have the game installed to other storage (F) than windows (C).
Follow this links orders: https://www.reddit.com/r/assassinscreed/comments/jrc7pu/fix_for_infinite_splash_screen/
NO need for me to do that first fix which "works for Origins"
Just follow the steps below that steamcommunity link..
And yeah run as adminstrator, just for sure.

@lundhusen I'd like to know also, I am not able to start the game since launch. Happened in Odyssey ocassionally, game starts (taskbar) but is stuck, some 8% cpu load and nothing happens. I can put focus into the "window", mouse disappears, alt shift to fullscreen but this white "quarter" of screen is maximized and that's it
-
same here
Really frustrating, thing is, I've seen this when I played odyssey like a month ago.. might be something HW specific, also the games are real copied if it's anything in the core :)) -

First Sugesstion: Instead of opening 1000 Threads with the same topic, you should read the 1000 Threads.
Some are holding solutions.
Really

Is it possible that Valhalla doesn't like being installed on NVME drives? I moved the install folder off of my C (w/ operating system) onto a non-nvme drive. After that it loaded and works fine. Until now I got infinite splash screen and nothing else. This was after trying every other suggestion I could find.
The only other difference I can think of between the drives is the C (nvme - didn't work) has 4k sectors while the D (m.2 SATA - works) has 512 sectors.
Hopefully this helps someone -
