@ubi-froggard Hi, So I managed to get it fixed, the game now works perfectly fine. it turned out that the game expects the DLC content to be on the C drive regardless of where you installed it, I have the game installed on my E: drive so you need to do the same hack as the 'sounddata' folder to get things to work. I literally followed the same steps mentioned in the second solution in this thread, the only difference is I had to use all dlc folders (dlc_17, dlc_21....dlc_30, dlc_31) instead of the sounddata folder. (Just copy all DLC folders to C:\Users\<my user>\Documents\AC origins\dlc_xx then use symlinks in the original folder you installed it in) hope the game continues to work just fine, I'm having a lot of fun with it.

@kmiller10 I tried the second solution and the game launched, thanks. But I am facing another freeze now, the game freezes a few seconds after it loads, exactly after it says "looking for additional content" any idea on how to fix that?

I bought the game a couple of weeks ago, and downloaded it today, but after I installed it I tried to launch the game several times, but it only keeps showing the game's title image and that's it, I have tried to Run the app as an administrator, uninstalled Connect client and then reinstalled it on the same drive where my game is located, but still the game doesn't wanna start. Please help me, I am considering asking for a refund now. Any help is appreciated.


UPDATE: I managed to fix the problem thanks to the 2nd solution in this article however, right now. I am faced with another issue, After I launch the game, AC Origins freezes when it says checking for additional content, the music continues to play but the loading symbol in the bottom left corner freezes after a few seconds and stays frozen.
