Hey everyone! I split your posts off so that I could keep your issue separate from the other thread and I moved the new thread to the player support section so that I can look into this further and follow up on this issue as needed.

Before we proceed, please take the time to make sure all of these have been completed successfully:

- Install Ubisoft Connect and the game on the same drive as your OS
- Verify the game files
- End unnecessary background processes via Task Manager
- Temporarily unplug non-essential peripherals (additional monitors, controllers, VR equipment, etc.)
- All of the troubleshooting steps in this FAQ article to cover our bases
- Clear the Steam cache (if you own the title through Steam)
- Clear the Ubisoft Connect cache

If you still have this launching issue after those steps are done, login to our website and submit a new support case for this issue. To save time, you can also attach your MSInfo and DxDiag files to your support case, for our support team to review.

@gusgiv Since you already have a support case open, you don't need to open a new one. Simply attach those two files to your support case if this still happens after completing the steps I provided and you should be good to go after that.

@Williamtell Thank you for taking the time to tackle those steps for me!

Other players have confirmed that whitelisting Valhalla in their anti-virus software helps to bypass this error for them. If you haven't tried that yet can you try that as well and let me know if it helps? I really appreciate it!🔥
