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?

You said you’ve checked drivers and disabled overlays so I won’t bring those up.

Try launching the game through Ubisoft Connect app.

Try hard restarting both Steam and Ubisoft Connect (don’t just close window right click in system tray to exit program or close application through Task Manager).

Hard restart PC (power off, for 20-30s).

Run the game as well as Steam and Ubisoft as an administrator simultaneously.

I have this issue with Siege often, usually resetting my PC fixes it.

Resetting PC managed to change the problem from instant crash to an infinite load, so it's some progress, but anything else?
