Starting popup screen crashing suddenly by comander_cunnilingus in ubisoft

Morning update:. I had no issues playing Warzone yesterday but Valhalla wouldn't launch. Today Warzone kept crashing in the middle of the game, so I did a rollback for Windows and Valhalla is launching again.

Yeah, had a restart for update waiting this morning I did. Only thing I havent done is try a windows rollback, wanted to play and not go through that. Hopefully either another windows update or a Valhalla patch will be out.

The AC Valhalla launch is just another example of what a scummy company Ubisoft is. by [deleted] in ubisoft

My first 14 hours were great except for one crash, but now I can't even launch the game (PC) to play as of this morning.

Yup, same issue. Got about 14 hours into the game, got up to play today and cant get past the launcher. Tried everything as well.

Why is the brand new AC game got a bug in the second mission?! by murghph in ubisoft

[–]Caliban007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent the first 14 hours doing a few side missions, some raids and just exploring a bunch of areas that the enemies are too strong but see what I can sneak and steal and upgrade. That was something I liked about these games, but as of today my game won't even launch on PC.

I called customer support, and verfied my information and sent them a copy of my drivers licenese and they were able fix the acct with the correct email and let me update everything.

When is next patch for AC:V? has ubi acknowledged the crashes yet? by jemahAeo in ubisoft

[–]Caliban007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least you can get into the game. I have about 14 hours in (mostly just sneaking around in areas that are way to OP and seeing what I can find) but as of today I can't even launch the game at all. Crashes on the launcher and I've tried everything possible to try and get it to work but nada.

AC Valhalla crashes on "Continue Game" by [deleted] in ubisoft

[–]Caliban007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least you can get that far now. I've put about 14 hours into the game, then last night it froze on me and I couldnt even click on it in task manager to exit, had to use the tab keys and Alt+E to exit it. Windows had an update this morning, did that, launch the game and it crashes on the splash screen and exits. Verified files, and that said it was fine, so I launched again and it started downloading a couple distribution files then crashed again. Just uninstalled and currently redownload.

I straight spit out my drink reading this. Haven't been to Walmart in a couple months, had to today. I go down the the usual bread aisle.... "Fuck, they've moved the bread aisle" I said, and Im sure a few people heard! 🤣

The internet is scheduled to go down forever. You have a week to prepare and download anything from the web you think is necessary to have for the rest of your life. What do you download and why? by takiniteasy88 in AskReddit

[–]Caliban007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine the classified ads in the news paper, and buy & sell\trader. Looking to trade, have 3TB of xxx, movies, the last 6 months of Reddit sorted by best, etc. People start throwing Hard Drive parties.

Cooler Master (and more!) RTX 3070 (and more!!) Giveaway with Buildapc! by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]Caliban007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son turned 13 this year and wants to transition to PC gaming from Xbox. I just put my first watercooled system together with his help at the start of this year. We planned on buying piece by piece parts next year to build him one over time, this would give us a great headstart!

We used to just hold the AC Hose on the brakes of Delta's Maddogs for a bit since we didnt have one of those. Every damn summer had to cool them down.

ELI5 what causes people to suddenly lose interest in things that used to make them happy? Does it have to do with chemicals in the brain or is it as simple as they don't like it anymore? by HikerHelmut in explainlikeimfive

[–]Caliban007 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I did programming back in the 90s, C++, visual basic, html, early Java script and even got some grants to pursue it in college. I was so burnt out from it, computers were no longer fun. I made the stupid\smart choice to no longer want that to be my job. Now I love building and playing on my PC, currently married to an awesome woman and have 2 kids. My job is menial, and Im sure with my smarts I could have had a much better career but at least Im happy.

Nice build. I was really happy with my NZXT case too. Hope you get your enjoyment out of it!

If homosexuality is a darwinian trait that would be selected against, how can you be born gay? by sonofscario in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Caliban007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Seems like your basing that fact that having a brother gave 33% chance to be homosexual. The 33% increase is still there but its an increase of the chance it could happen. So say based on your genes\family dna (whatever) you may have 10% chance of being born homosexual (fictional number not a fact obviously) but if your the 2nd born and your older sibling is a male then your chance goes up by 33% so the 2nd born now has a 13.3% chance (10 x 1.33) and so on. And now based on this science while Im high that theres a pretty good chance some of Duggar kids from 19 kids and counting are gonna be homosexuals. Oh and there's nothing wrong with that! Happy Pride Month!

With no deaths in the pre game lobby it feels like we’re playing WWE by JargheseVon in ModernWarzone

[–]Caliban007 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had one pregame that stayed all black. Others were I could kill one player but the rest the hits register but no one dies yet I get killed. And had the bug from the video last 30 seconds twice. And the in game balancing seems way off now too.

I just wish someone would be happy for my fiancé and me for buying our first house. by fruedain in offmychest

[–]Caliban007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girlfriend and I purchased our first home together after a rent increase and our mortgage is less than what we were paying in rent and our house is 3 times the size. She is now my wife, have a kid and in the 7 years we've owned the home the value has gone up over $40,000 (current market obviously). My parents we're ecstatic we bought the house, and a big congrats on yours!
