    [solved] FC primal won't launch

    hi,

    i buyed the game recently, and first time it didn't load. just open the loading screen and shut off..
    i'm using nvidia GTX 970 and french windows 10.

    i finally find what the f*ck , and i share it to you, because Ubi game devs are noobs...

    i desactivated the "duplicate screen" option in the advanced option of my Nvidia card.
    (i have two screens -PC and TV -, so i use only one before launching the game)

    select option "display 1 " or 2, and save . then re launch again the game, it should works now.

    After the game starts, you can goback to the desk (alt+tab) then reactivate the Duplicate option, to play on the TV...

    thanks UbiDevs .... go back to school...

    Thanks ascr0unch_FR

    After all this time the pathetic Help option from ubisoft has nothing regarding this.

    But you solved the issue I was having. Thanks goes to you and to Google. None to Ubisoft

    Hello from the USA! Just wanted to thank you so much for this fix. It worked for me as well!

    If anyone has tried any of the following:
    Turning off Firewall
    Launching in Offline Mode
    Launching through Steam
    Verifying Game files
    Uninstalling and reinstalling the Game and UPlay

    THIS IS THE FIX.

    I personally went to my NVIDIA Control Panel, went to "set up multiple displays" and unchecked the HDMI leading to my TV
    EVEN THOUGH THE TV IS OFF, it would never launch for me. Once I unchecked that output, it launched INSTANTLY.

    This game is broken, Ubisoft is a scam artist that happens to have game developers on Payroll and the only people I respect after this incident is the people with cheap *** PC's trying to help others fix it. Ubisoft has ever power to fix this issue, but that would cost them money, and they'd rather pay people making a new pay-to-win, free to play game running on their 4 servers in Guatemala. Ubisoft staff will make you reinstall Windows before they tell you something as simple as "unplug the HDMI." ****ing peasants. Go **** yourself Ubisoft, this is the last game I ever buy from this company.

    Can't believe any of their games actually work. Thank God for the Siege developers.
