    Could an admin / moderator / dev confirm or deny that they've been able to reproduce this error internally?

    I'd really like some communication from a Ubi source regarding this game breaking error and what they're doing to address it

    I can confirm however that the basic troubleshooting steps outlined here do not work for me

    additionally I tried unplugging my Corsair K70 keyboard & uninstalling logitech setpoint, but that doesn't have any impact on the error.
    Upon further testing, evga precision wasn't the culprit. So what fixed it for me was either disabling both the Steam and Uplay overlays, or reinstalling the game for a 3rd time. I will mention that in this case, I didn't redownload the game but rather made a steam backup, uninstalled the game, and then used the backup to reinstall it... let me know if any of those steps helps your situation at all since I am definitely curious.

    It's not all rosy gameplay wise though, I'm surprised at just how demanding this game is... You'd think that 3x GTX 680 4GB in 3-way sli would be sufficient, but I'm fluctuating between 45-70fps in some cases on my 120hz 1440p display. That, and so far I can't play the game without it hard locking up my PC for more than 10-15 minutes. It might be my PSU which is a bit under spec for the cards I have installed, but on the other hand I haven't had hard lockups in any other games that max all 3 cards, like Tomb Raider and Far Cry 3 for example, it's stable for hours on end.

    I'm just in the process of copying the game directory over to my laptop...just to see if I can get it to launch at least.

    I'm hoping it does, so the answer lies somewhere in my desktop dxdiag

    I've downloaded the game twice now and still get this error. I hit play and it seems to error after trying to install additional components Vredist. When i verify game files it says files are corrupted however it then proceeds to download the whole game again rather then a fix.

    I have it solely through Uplay, no Steam. I will try disabling the overlay when it finishes downloading later, but i suspect its the re-install that fixed your issue.

    Is there anyway of re-installing just using uPlay without re-downloading?

    I just tried launching without the overlay, no success sadly.

    As far as I know it installs the components when you press play for the 1st time, before that its just downloading I think.

    I wonder how Ubi will recover from this disaster, I'm sure for many others like me it has shattered their confidence in Ubi's ability to deliver a functioning product on schedule.
    I'm also wondering at what point this situation becomes a breach of consumer rights and entitles us to a refund.

    Damn them for making me think in this way, I've never thought about getting a refund for a game before

    i had only 2 games crashing with the error 0xc0000005 and they were far cry 4 and assassins creed unity so i just figured it was a uplay error. But then i read somewhere that this error is a memory addressing error and down clocked my ram, although it was already under clocked a little. EVERY other game runs fine including fc3 and all the other AC games and watch dogs. So now I have NO 0xc0000005 error, strange that i only got these error on the newest of uplay games. So I hope this might help somebody.

    Extra bit of info for those interested. I tried replacing the DirectX, .NET and vcredist installer executables with a "dud" exe (just an empty executable that runs and then immediately ends) since I know that they're all up to date, but still have the same error, so I don't think it's anything to do with the "corrupt" messages we're getting from those.

    I tried dropping my ram to 1033Mhz (from 1600), with no impact on the error
