    Game will not launch! "Watch Dogs has stopped working"

    Hello everyone this is my first time posting here,

    So I bought a game code for Watch_Dogs and activated it just fine in uPlay. I set out to download the game and an hour later I go to play it. It proceeds to install all the needed C++ things and DirectX and then the logo comes up on the screen. Not even a second after the logo has popped up the game quits and the Microsoft window comes up that says "Watch_Dogs has stopped working" every time without failure.

    I was talking to a friend and he told me to reinstall everything, uPlay and Watch_Dogs, so I did. The error still remains and I am unable to launch the game. I do not think it is because I dont meet minimum requirements? I have a decent PC?

    Hopefully we can solve this quickly

    You will need to make sure your PC meets the minimum requirements at the very least to be able to run it. You can find them here if you'd like to fully look them over.

    It meets
    I think the problem in his OS. Some kind of broken system files.. I would recommend him to check the system for errors and update it via the Windows Update Center.
