[2020] AC Valhalla Freezes at Splash Screen

Hey Yukiyoroi and HawkSE, thanks for posting about the issues you're experiencing with launching Assassin's Creed Valhalla. I'm sorry to hear that these crashes are occurring on the splash screen.

If you have the game installed on a drive formatted as a Microsoft Storage Space Device (MSSD), please be advised that these are not compatible with the game and will cause the game to crash. You will need to install the drive on a conventional storage device in order for it to work.

If you do not have the game on a MSSD, please attempt our basic PC troubleshooting, and if issues continue, post over on our new Assassin's Creed Valhalla forums here for further troubleshooting suggestions and support. These forums are no longer in use and will not be updated going forward. You have both mentioned opening support cases - my colleagues will be in touch as soon as possible there to assist you as well. Thank you!
