Fix Assassin's Creed Valhalla Not Launching Stuck on Splash Screen Fix

[@sqarex2658]

side notes: 1. you can just create a soft shortcut (symbolic junctuon) with CMD, i will provide on how to do so in a reply to this, you don't need this program 2.this also works for AC unity 3. you don't have to do videos one by one, just delete the folder in your game's folder and then make a soft shortcut to the folder on your C: drive 4. both can be soft shortcuts

[@sqarex2658]

okay so, you need to get to open cmd, preferably as admin 1: use the cd command to get to the game's folder (it's cd X:\Assassin's Creed Unity in my case) 2: use this command mklink /D sounddata C:/sound 3: double check if everything redirects properly good job, you've avoided downloading a random internet file, this function is in windows since vista so it might not work if you're running win xp or whatever

[@sqarex2658]

would be cool if you could pin these

[@Rarewolfy30]

thank you for the help i've pinned this message for all the others as well :)

[@darkotemelkov2459]

@@sqarex2658 Does not work. I opened cmd from the folder than i wrote mklink /D sounddata C:/sound and it gives me Invalid switch - "sound".

[@nelepektms7118]

After 4 days searching for a solution on this bug,i did everything that you said in this video/description +did the same things with the dlc file (pck file) from all dlc's folders,and finally the game gets over that splash screen bug and i can finally finish all the dlc's and final content.Ty !

i'm glad i could help enjoy the game :)

Ubisoft screwed up Big,they need to fix this ASAP

[@gta-rs1de]

yeah

[@sirduckington5641]

can confirm. still fucked

[@OnAir121]

How do I just "move it over" at 2:17 if I don't copy and paste? Do you mean drag and drop? Or do I have to cut the original files to the C folder and then make the links? EDIT: Thank you it works! Great job! I just had a hard time understanding that you have to have the original files ONLY in the C folders and then make the links from there to the original, now emty location.

[@grandeagle4863]

Its very difficult to understand your video. The trouble with my game is that it delays a eternity to appear the load screen. More than 10 minutes. What can I do there?

[@visveswaranr7587]

I can get the warning page, but after that game closes on its own. I didn't change anything you have told to , No pick source or Nothing. I extracted the file in the c drive directly.

[@poyrazo09]

Bruh it just decided to open as soon as I started to watch this

[@Nuutin3]

I was having this issue, i havent seen the main menu once. My game would just instantly crash at the splash screen and give me a option to send a crash report, but after i did these links it doesnt crash at the the splash screen, it stays for there a second or two and then goes away and for a millisecond i see a second window open up in the taskbar but the game just closes after that immediatly and this time i dont even get the crash report. Got everything installed on C drive and everything is up to date and all background apps are closed and still i havent seen the menu once. Its becoming very annoying because ive been trying all the things i find on the internet and nothing works and Ubisoft hasnt responded to my support case yet... My PC can run it yes i7-8770K and RTX2070 Amor, 8G VRAM and 16G RAM.. Game is installed on C drive which is 256G SSD.. Does anyone else have this problem and have found a solution for this ? I wanted to give AC a second try, after all what they have done to my beloved series.. 😬

This happened to me the first time I tried it sooo when transferring the video files did you do the folders 1 by 1 don’t copy them move them then make a junction for the folders and for the movies move them all over then make them a symbolic link it worked for me

[@kekistanimemelord1046]

@@Rarewolfy30 It wasn't giving me an option to make a true move from the location on my D: drive to my C: drive, it only gave a copy option. So what I did was copy them over and deleted the originals from the D: drive. And then I made the folders as shown in the video and did the same steps you took. Not sure if this is what the issue is so far, but I did just uninstall the game and will reinstall later tonight. If you know of a way to make the files move versus only having a copy option I'm all ears! And also seriously thank you for the video! And to clarify, I did do the symbolic linking and the junction drops
