Ghost Recon Wildlands won’t load
The game wont run, it shows the splash screen with the guy and the helicopter then after like 20-30s it disappears and the GRW process disappears with no error. No errors in event viewer. Verified the files and it had some corrupt files but still wont start.
Fix: Ghost Recon Wildlands launch issues
1. Install Ghost Recon Wildlands on the same drive as your operating software and UPlay.
If you haven’t got enough space to put the three programs on the same drive, try going into the game folder in whichever drive the game’s installed on and start the rungame.exe as admin.
Ubisoft has already acknowledged the launch issues stemming from the game being installed on a non-OS hard drive and is working on a fix.
2. Unplug your Xbox controller
Players report that the game launches fine if they unplug the Xbox controller. In other words, if you want to play Ghost Recon Wildlands, you need to plug and unplug the controller all the time.
3. Repair your Redistributable package
Go to your game folder> Support folder > run the vcredist_x64_2012.exe as an admin > select Repair
Restart your computer > disable your antivirus
Go back to the game folder > run the game’s executable file as an admin
The game should now reinstall DirectX and then launch.
