I recently purchased this game, Assassin's Creed II Deluxe Edition, mainly because it looked interesting and it was on sale. So I bought it and installed it. When I lauched the game, it gave me the product activation code, then after that, it downloaded and installed Uplay for me automatically. Then, the Uplay prompted me to create an account, so I did. Right after that, it kept on crashing whenever I attempt to start the game. What is wrong here?

Computer Specs:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4200U CPU @ 160 GHz
4.00GB RAM
x64 processor
Windows 8.1 K OS

  • It would appear that your game is not working. Why yes, I do work in IT, how did you know?

  • Umm actually I asked on Steam Forums and almost everybody is having the same problem... and nobody knows how to fix it so I just asked here, to see if anyone knows how.

    Could you give more detail about your computer specs? A screenshot right before or during the crash? Whether or not it was on Steam or UPlay?

  • Sure, I can get the specs, but not the screenshot... my screenshot kinda fails as well whenever I launch steam, just noticed this yesterday.
