Hi,
After days of reading the Net and trying to get the damn game to run I finally found my solution, I don't know if this has been mentioned in another post or not, I read most of them and did not find it.
It was so bloody simple that I didn't think it would work but because I ran out of ideas I thought I give it a try.
Run the bloody Uplay.exe as an ADMIN!!!
My problem was right after 'sync. saved game' when it got to the splash screen (it didnt even show up but for a split second) then nothingness.
Anyway, I hope it will help as many of you as possible.
Regards,
HJ
