Game won't even launch
Hi,
I activated FCND a few days ago on UPLAY, and installed the game.
Every time I try to launch the game, the splash screen shows up and then after a few seconds it just dies without any error messages.
System specs:
OS: Win 10 Pro x64 v1809 (Fully Patched)
CPU: TR 2990WX
GPU: RTX 2080 (Latest Drivers installed)
RAM: 64GB HyperX Predator 3333Mhz
Mobo: Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme x399
HardDisk: SSD NVMe Samsung 970 1TB
I have recently played Far Cry 5, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Battlefield V, The Crew 2, COD WWII without any issues.
I have uninstalled and re-installed FCND 3 times, and also did clean GPU drivers re-installation, but no luck.
This is basically the first game causing me issues.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions, except from formatting my PC and do a fresh Windows installation. :)
Thanks

Hi there, sorry to hear you are having problems launching your game, to assist further would you be able to confirm whether you are launching this directly from the Uplay client, Steam or through another 3rd party game launcher.? While I understand you may have already attempted some of these steps could we also suggest you work through the guidelines in this FAQ as we have found these steps resolve a lot of issues for our players.

Thank you for your reply.
I have already checked the FAQ, but unfortunately I still can't make this game work.
I am always launching the game via UPLAY, but no luck.
I have tried also launching it through Geforce Experience, but the result is the same.
Unfortunately, no error messages appear so I can't provide further details.
The splash screen shows, and it appears as the game is loading for a few seconds, and then it just disappears.
The only thing I can think of as a potential 'issue' is the high core number of 2990WX, but as I said I have no issues with other games.
FYI, I can't change my CPU mode to Gaming Mode by disabling cores, because I need those for my Virtual Machines.
Please note that the behavior is the same even when no VMs are running or any other system monitoring software.
cheers

If you are looking for more time, I can tell you I don't have any, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills.
Skills I have acquired over a very long career.
Skills that make me a nightmare for bugs like this.
If you tell me where to send my technical report, that will be the end of it.
I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will hand you my report. :)
Cheers
PS: I used my Reverse Engineering skills to fix the bug in the affected binary. The game now runs perfectly.
Please let me know to which email address I should send the technical report.
