I fixed the splash-Screen bug for me.

I guess the Game does like to be on C:\ Drive and does not like special characters like the 's

C:/Assassin's Creed Valhalla/ does not work
C:/AVC work
but
D:/Games/AVC does not work again.

[censored] ... does no one in Ubi-Development have more than one Drive?

Ups.. I forgot Important thing

C:/Assassin's Creed Valhalla/ does not launch
C:/ACV does launch
D:/Games/ACV does not launch


Conclusion: Game must be on C:\Drive and does not have special characters in the name.

Beginners-Bug.

All my Games are installed in d:\Games.
ACV is the ONLY one that needs this special treatment. Not Origins and not Odyssee for example. They are running from there with no problems.
Im no Programmer, I don't know why this is like it is. But it worked.

Maybe you have an English/American Language, and thats the Problem with the '-Character in the Filename. Its not the first time, that special-characters are Problems in no-englisch-language-Windows.

I get response from more than one user, that this is a solve for their "stuck at spash-screen" Issue.
So you can laugh about it, but finally it helps some users to get their game going.

And this is the 10th Thread with this topic.
Did you read the others? Try

Fix for me.

Non-English-Windows does not like the Apostroph in Directory-Name. And Game has to be on C:\Drive

C:/Assassin's Creed Valhalla/ does not launch
c:/AVC launch
d:/Games/AVC does not launch

Beginners-Bug?

NON-English Windows does not like the Apostroph in the Name.

Try Rename the Game-Directory and move it to C:\Drive.


C:/Assassin's Creed Valhalla/ doesn not launch
C:/ACV launches

This fix the Issue for me.



BTW ... D:\Games\ACV does not launch too.

And what about the 100 other Threads with the same topic? Did you read them?

Its the Usual Problem with AC-Games.

Non-US-Windows does not like the ' in the Filename and UBI seems to forget it .... EVERY TIME.

C:/Assassin's Creed Valhalla/ does not work
C:/ACV does work


For me .... now I get past the Spash-Screen.
