    Siege suddenly crashing on startup after problem-free playing since purchase last Dec

    Hey,

    So I tried to start the game only for it to crash on startup - I see the app on the taskbar but I get the crash report even before the transition to splash screen etc.
    Just yesterday I was playing it fine, and nothing has changed in the hardware or software setup. After the crashing started, I did install the newest Nvidia driver
    but it's no use.

    What might be causing this? Was there a smaller update between Aug 22nd and 23rd? Everything else is working fine.

    Running a TR 1950X, 2080 Ti, Windows 10 64-bit.

    Cheers.

    Hello K-5000, welcome to the forums!

    Sorry to hear that your game keeps crashing

    Sorry to hear that happens. Have you tried verifying game files? Also, can you please try the troubleshooting steps here?

    I solved it.

    Apparently it was some kind of folder/file permission thing, apparently Windows 10 does some funky stuff with file permissions every now and then when updating itself. So basically the game was running an older version and halfway through downloading an update.

    I'm too lazy to work out how to solve it properly, for now I just run Uplay in Admin mode and it works.
