    i managed to scrape off enough storage space on the c drive to be able to install the game on it, instead of just the soundfiles, which fixed it... you might want to fix this @ubi since im not a fan at all of installing games on my c drive due to the low volume it has. for honor had the issue it wouldnt work on another drive than the c drive during the beta. a while back i tried again to play it from the d drive and it simply works. rainbow six siege has never caused trouble to me.

    Had to install my game on C drive as well. Having space management headaches as well) But at least it works now.
    Ubi, you... you really need to get your sh*t together.

    Is it possible for the developers to acknowledge and work on a fix for the Windows Storage Spaces issue? It's been confirmed to be a legitimate problem for all those using that Windows configuration. We really shouldn't have to fill up our operating system single drives to work around the issue. This is a problem that's been around for many of the Assassin's Creed games and it comes across as lazy when, years later, nothing has been done about it. Especially when it's been the community that has found solutions (albeit complicated) to bypass the flaw.

    I had the same problem here, but managed to fix without doing the whole install on C:\ drive.

    Initially, my game would freeze at the splash screen (before the warnings would even load). After reading another post, I moved the 'sounddata' and 'dlc_#' folders to c:\ and linked them back to the original install folder (details on another thread - but I used Link Shell Extension, http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinks...extension.html, which was very easy to use). (# = 14,15,20,21,22,42)

    This fixed the splash screen freeze, but then I had the freeze right when the first cutscene changes to battle (which would be okay if I manually skipped it, just like it is described in the post above).

    This problem was then fixed after I also moved the 'videos' folder to c:\ and linked that (for folders, i think the term is 'junction').

    (I've only had the game as of version 1.07).
