I have the game with all the drivers updated to date on my pc and even so the game stays in the background when I try to start it to play.
Hey TheNeoRex, welcome to the forums!
I'm sorry that you are experiencing this. Could you please verify your game files:
1. In Uplay, click on Games tab at the top of the window
2. On the next screen, hover over the game tile. This will make a little arrow appear at the bottom right of the tile
3. Click on this arrow to make a drop-down menu appear, then click on Verify files
After this, please perform a clean boot and test the game again. If the issue persists, please let us know!
