The Game does not start under windows 8.1 "Update 1" | Forums

Also fails on my laptop, a Dell Vostro 3700 (Core i3-330m), which, of course, is running 8.1 also.

My only other PC in the house I could play it on is also Windows 8.1 (QX9650 @ 3GHz and HD 6970 2GB) - so a complete and utter waste of my time and money at the moment.

Just for diagnostics, it works perfectly fine on my Win 8.1 Pro U1 x64 (well, minus the Ubisoft server issues)

Asus P8H77-M LE motherboard
8 GB DDR3 Corsair RAM
Intel i5-3570k CPU
eVGA GeForce GTX 760 (driver 335.23 (current release))
2 monitors

That is great to know... i have just wasted 2 hours of my life reinstalling system, now have windows 8.1 Pro with all the updates, newest ati drivers 14.4 and apart from uplay nothing else!!! the game is still in limbo after pressing start... not sure whether you have beta drivers or release, but this is what i am planning to do next: install release drivers instead of beta, we'll see what happens... report back in few minutes

Hm, the difference seems to be in the video card... ConfusedTA, what setup do you have?

[ConfusedTA]

Ebbemonke, I thought I'd noticed a pattern - that being that anything with an AMD graphics card wasn't working - but your 2nd PC with the nVidia 580 also isn't working - so that blows that theory out of the water! (Although, you do have an AMD CPU in that PC, the ones that are working so far in this thread are the Intel/nVidia combinations...)

It may be nothing, it may be something...

I'm certainly not reinstalling Windows (again) on my machine - and I've had no issues with anything else with the beta drivers, only this game.

OK mate, i agree with you, as you can see i have wasted at least 3 hours of my life trying to get it going, thinking there is something wrong with my PC's... i thought it was to do with beta drivers as bot PC's have newest beta installed, however now i know it is nothing to do with this as release drivers are not helping... at this point i have given up, RedLynx has to come up with a solution... until then will be playing the game from my portable HDD with windows 7 on it... got a bit drunk in the process but at least i have a fresh windows installed

So, I kicked the girlfriend off the HTPC, and installed the game. It fired up.

QX 9650 @ 3ghz
4gb ddr3
AMD 6970 2gb
Windows 8.1 Pro x64 update 1

AMD 13.10 beta drivers

Good for you! As i said before i have a walkaround and played the game already but this is not the point!!! they need to fix this bug!!!! BTW try to beat my time on 1st track in Masters Gountlet...

Just a quick question: Do you all have multiple monitors + Windows 8.1 "Update 1" 64 bit (and an AMD graphics card)?

[sebastianaalton]

Turns out that we have both Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 test computers here, but no computer with Windows 8.1 "Update 1". We are installing the "Update 1" and starting to analyze the issue ASAP.
