@squashed_spider Hey there, I am sorry to hear that you're encountering these crashes.
If you haven't already, could you have a look at our Basic PC Troubleshooting guide?
Another important step to take when you're experiencing these crashes on is to make sure that your game and launcher(s) are on the same drive, preferably the hard drive.
If after you've gone through the steps, you're still having issues launching your game, please reach out to us via one of the methods below with copies of your MSINFO and DXDiag. If you're contacting us through Twitter or Facebook, make sure to also include your Ubisoft username and email address, so that we can ensure we're looking at the correct account. Thank you!
