    For Honor Error:<AppData folder detection error>

    Hello

    6 days ago i downloaded the Uplay client and their game For Honor, in hopes to play a good skill game. To my surprise i am still trying to start the game with no success from Ubisoft Support. When i clicked play the game crashes and a error window pops up saying:"Unable to access data folder.Please delete the following folder and try to run the game again: <Appdata folder detection error". I quickly searched in the internet for several ways to deal with this problem:
    -Delete For Honor Data folder in C:\ProgramData - Didnt work
    -Reinstall the game and the client in C - Didnt work
    -Run the client in administrator and verify files - Didnt work
    -Uninstalled the game about 5 times in all of this process which also didnt work

    After that i turned to Ubisoft's support, took 5 days to get a reply, they tried helping me with this issue by deleting registry keys, uninstalling the game and client, which didnt work.At last the support team asked me to literally end all my services and test one by one (Note there are duzens of services) by restarting the pc duzens and duzens of times which to my surprise didnt work as well.

    Ubisoft's support is not being effective with their answers and as a client of this service i demand to AT LEAST be able to run you game, or have a continuous dedicated support and not having to wait 5 days each time i update my ticket.

    Thank you for your time and patience, please help me fix this.

    Appdata folder detection error

    HI,
    I just downloaded For Honor, but it shows that I can play the game before I deleted <Appdata folder detection error>. After I keep finding this in my files, I still can't find it.
    is there any way that I can solve it?
