Far Cry 5 crashes on startup
Previously I played a bit of the game during the Uplay+ trial and now we have another free weekend!
So I still keep the game installed from the last time and the game loaded up to the start menu and try to auto detect my hardware. then it crashed. From then on, the game will get to the black loading screen with the cross at the bottom running for 1-2 seconds and crash to desktop.
I have googled similar issues and tried out the followings without luck:
Clear ubisoft connect cache
Uninstall and redownload the game completely.
DDU'd the nvidia driver and installed it again, no luck either.
Run my card 3090 at stock to avoid OC issue, no dice.
I tried to check event viewer and the crash log inside the game folder but the file is blank.
I dont know what else to try, other games like watch dogs legion and Battlefield 1 are still playable.
Thanks for reading and hopefully i can get a solution soon.
