1. After launching the game, click on the gear icon at the top right side of the dialog box
2. A new pop-up window will appear, asking if you wish to disable saved games from being stored online – select Yes.
3. Close the game launcher and go to the following folder: C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher
4. Find the file settings.ini and open it with a text editor (like notepad). Search for the SaveOnline=true line and replace it with SaveOnline=false.
5. Save the folder then delete the Storage folder in the Ubisoft Game Launcher directory.
6. Run the game and enjoy – no more problems!

II. How to fix Assassin’s Creed 2 crashes to desktop and not-launching issues?

2. Also, you can try to lower the game’s settings by disabling Vsync and multi-sampling and turning down environment detail levels.

III. How to fix Assassin’s Creed 2 crashes and freezings during gameplay?

1. Close down all background applications before loading the game, just to be sure that nothing is conflicting with the game.
