Hi there, DeepToot! I'm sorry to see that you've been having an issue with getting your game up and running, but I’m here to help! Since you’re having an issue with launching the game at this time, please go ahead and make sure you have your game and the Uplay PC launcher installed to the same internal hard drive ( C: Drive being the best option)! Next, try these PC troubleshooting steps[support.ubi.com]! Afterwards, you may want to try running Uplay and the game as an Admin[support.ubisoft.com] and verifying your game files. If you are still finding that the application is hanging at launch or that you can't get past the splash screen (this is when the banner for the game displays before the game launches), create a support ticket[support.ubi.com] with your MSINFO and DxDiag files[support.ubi.com] attached so we can get a more detailed look at what happens when you try to launch the game. :) Hope this helps!
