This guide is about game crashing problems at startup in Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla and how to possibly fix them. I have listed the known solutions for now, in the coming days I will edit the post and add new methods.
First, ensure that your system is able to run Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Your PC should at least meet the minimum requirements of the game.

If you see one of these errors upon startup, try this fix. If not, navigate to the second method.
- Launch Ubisoft Connect.
- Right-click Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
- Go to your Properties and click “Open Folder” at Local Files.
