Any combination of the above or similar symptoms as above Display black screen but hear sounds from the videoĥ. Display only black screen and nothing else to do (not even crash)Ĥ. If it's not fully compatible, then you'll experience one of these symptoms:ġ. It somehow interacts with any available codecs in your PC. Most Ubisoft games launch an in-game video player right when you launch the game. If both points above does not solve it, then just uninstall any codec pack that you have (the ones that are not built-in Windows installation). Ensure that you mostly use 'LAV' as your preferred codec and not 'ffdshow' Ensure that you do not install 'Reclock' codecĢ. More specifically, if you have installed K-Lite Codec Pack or Media Player Codec Pack or any other Codec Pack, you might want to reconsider these actions:ġ. It turns out that Ubisoft is using an in-game video player that is NOT fully compatible with all CODECS in the internet. Please note that this solution can help you if the other solutions out there (Steam overlay issue, Uplay Overlay issue, drivers issue, antivirus issue, firewall issue, Windows Update issue, different game installation directory issue, etc) do not help. For those of you who are seeing only black screen, right after game launch, and then crash, you might want to do this alternative solution.
