I found a solution for this. I posted it on the steam forum so I will post it here as well:
I figured out it is a Uplay error. I tested a lot of stuff and after eliminating drivers issues, visual c++ issues, directX issues it could only be one thing: network related.
So I fixed it like this. (This normally will FIX the demo and the retail game)
1. Open UPlay
2. Log into UPlay
3. Choose 'Go Offline'
4. Disable your Wifi or Ethernet Card (right click the network icon next to you clock, choose 'open network and sharing center', 'change adapter settings', right click your card and choose 'disable'. If you have a laptop you can just press the physical button to disable your WiFi.
5. Start Rayman Legends. It will now work and won't crash anymore. However you cannot play online. You will unlock Uplay achievements and rewards however. They will be synced when you go online again.
After playing the game, make sure you enable your wifi or network card again and go online with UPlay again to sync your achievements.
I hope a patch is in the works for this. I don't know why I get this problem. I got this problem on all my hardware configurations at home so I guess it must be ISP related (maybe a proxy).
I hope this will fix the problem for most of you.
Good luck!

You should have gotten a automated replay?
They may not be able to issue a fix instantly - it may require the team to investigate why your setup has the problem, so please bear with them.
Just for your information: there is a whole legion of steam users with the same problem: http://steamcommunity.com/app/242550...7564014100285/
Also posted my solution there and it works for most of them. But it would be nice to have a fix issued in the near future so we can play online
Thanks for following this up Mr_Shade
