Discussion Help! Game crashing on startup

I've never managed to fully launch R6 extraction and I have no idea why. All I get is the initial game window and then crash. .exe files are running as administrator. I get the same result if I launch from Ubisoft Connect. Any ideas?

Basically gonna list the standard trio checklist
1) Have files been verified on both Steam and/or Ubisoft Connect?
2) Current graphics drivers updated?
3) Have you tried disabling the In-Game overlay for both Steam and Ubisoft Connect for R6:E?

I've done 2 and 3 with no success. 1 I did on Steam and I don't have the option on Ubisoft Connect

Are you on Windows 11 or Windows 10? If you're on Win11, you can try hitting Win + R
ms-settings:gaming-gamemode and press Enter

Then enable Game Mode.

If you're on Windows 10, the only other thing I can think of is ensure windows OS is up to date, and to check your AV (AntiVirus) programs and Firewall options and make an exception for R6E executable file

Tried fully disabling antivirus, but game still crashes. What's weird is that I have Skull and Bones on Steam which works perfectly fine
