Not reproducing on my AMD setup on either Linux or Windows. Also not when spoofing Nvidia. Please attach the dxvk logs that appear next to the games exe.

I found sth interesting about WD2. WD2 game engine is Disrupt_64.dll which is packed by Denuvo. According to SteamDB the steam version is only 132.48mb, however the Uplay version received an update in 2019, enlarged the engine to over 300M. (A discussion about this update:https://steamcommunity.com/app/447040/discussions/0/1635291505037116623/ ) There is no official announcement from Ubi about what's changed in this update. But I really think maybe the different binary version affect the reproducing of issue.

I made a md5 file of my WD2 installation from Ubi with quicksfv, maybe we should compare for difference to figure out whether the update affected the compability. WD2.md5.zip

Had this issue now, but closing MSI Afterburner and RTSS solved the problem for me. I am also on Windows with an NVIDIA GPU.

Probably due to the Ubisoft Connect overlay. Go to steamapps/compatdata/447040/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Ubisoft Game Launcher/, open settings.yaml, find the overlay section and set all to false. Then, find the user section, and set closebehavior to CloseBehavior_Close. Save the file and exit.

Also, take a look at umu-protonfixes for Watch Dogs 2.

@Spidermanagent Are you still having issues with this?

OrhanBasol commented 1 week ago

I have the Ubisoft version of the game on Windows and I had the same issue. I resolved the issue with this: first of all close the all overlay programs MSI Afterburner, Ubisoft overlay vs. however I can open the MSI Afterburner after the game launched. The actual problem is the Full Screen mode. Exclusive Full Screen makes the game crash no matter what. Fix for this is: go to Documents\My Games\Watch_Dogs\some-numbers and open the GamerProfile.XML and set WindowMode to 1 like this: WindowMode="1" this makes the game run at Borderless Full Screen mode. This fixed for me.
