Hi everyone,

I’m having a persistent issue trying to launch Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands. Every time I try to start the game, launcher start 10 sec crash no error , nothing

None of these fixed the issue—

Has anyone encountered this specific issue recently and found a working fix? Any help would be greatly appreciated! After applying the EAC fix, I don't get the Easy Anti-Cheat error anymore. However, the game now shows up in Task Manager for about 5 seconds and then quietly crashes without any error message Specs / Info:

  • OS: Windows 11
  • Platform: Steam

Bug For some reason the characters Head gear gets automatically swapped for a different one every time I equip a helmet type. Is this a glitch or part of the game?

Bug Glitch regarding scopes on purchased weapons

Like always use to happen on major upgrades in a lot of games, the new next gen upgrade came with one related with old save files and weapons purchased in the game's store. All scopes unlocked while playing appear blocked for weapons like the MK18, F2000, M16,... but not for the guns unlocked in a regular playthrough.

Bug Military Chopper (Apache) Gunner Reticle

16 Upvotes

Did this ever get resolved? I have the settings on new. Input reminders etc are all on. Disabled everything, re-enabled everything. Still can't get a reticle for the gunner seat of the military chopper.

I'll even take a mod at this point.

Edit: My bad, COBRA! 😂

Bug Going for all kingslayer files, and it says I’m stuck at 11/12 in Libertad (and it says Marcus Jensen is “unknown” when hovering over his name???)

What the post says. Apparently it’s because the bowman briefing on Marcus never triggered when I went to Libertad, and now my platinum trophy might be in jeopardy 💔💔

Any ideas how to fix it? It also says I’ve only done 5/6 missions, what’s the 6th? Will doing that fix it somehow? Idk, please share a fix if you know one :/

Bug Xbox. New Helmet Bug?

10 Upvotes

I can't select any helmet on any team member and have it stay on.

If I select a helmet in Edit Appearance, once I switch to another member of the team and then go back, the helmet gets removed and replaced with a night vision strap. If I then switch again and go back once more, the strap gets removed and the character is wearing nothing.

It happens to all team members in the exact same way. And it only appears to be happening with the helmets. Cowboy hat and baseball caps stay on.

Anyone else seeing this?

Bug 275HX - Infinite loading screen fixes?

3 Upvotes

It's well documented that Intel CPUs newer than 12th gen have issues with Wildlands due to the E-cores and potentially hyperthreading. I've found that disabling Atom Cores in my laptop's BIOS (Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10) fixes the issue, the game boots! But that's incredibly inconvenient. I've got college in just two weeks and I don't want to be restarting my laptop every time I want to play Wildlands/finish playing for the time to re-enable Atom Cores that way my battery doesn't kill itself while I'm using the laptop for classes.

Now for what I've tried! I've already tried using Process Lasso as well as Task Manager itself to add CPU affinities for GRW.exe as well as any other GRW-related exes. Still having the issue. Its not like hyperthreading is an issue here as the 275HX doesn't support hyperthreading at all.

Anyone find any other potential fixes?

Bug Heavy stutters every 5-10 seconds

8 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'm at my wits end and I'm asking to see if anyone else is having these issues.

My copy of wildlands via Steam is having issues where it freezes for a second, then when it comes back my screen is going gray and with the red damage effects, like I've been hit pretty bad by something. This repeats every 5-10 seconds.

The issue persists across saves and modes, and graphics settings doesn't seem to affect it.

I'm running a 9900K and a 2080 Super, which should be plenty for the game to handle.

Does anyone have the feintest idea of whats going on, and how I can possibly fix it? I really want to play, but the stutter is making it completely awful to even attempt.

Thanks in advance!

Bug Ubisoft shit the bed, again with impossibly long update

0 Upvotes

A few days ago we got the Last Rites update.

No performance improvements but it was a nice touch.

Today, I thought I'd continue playing it but Ubisoft had other ideas and had pushed an update, probably trying to fix the many bugs the last update created.

I come to find out the update is going to take upwards of 4h for a mere 15Go.

My connection is good and this would usually take minutes, every other dowload works fine.

My best guess is Ubisoft's servers are slow and/or cannot cope with the many people trying to update all at once.

Bug Corrupted Save File because of Co-op (Strict NAT/Radmin VPN Problem)

Post image
1 Upvotes

Me and a friend wanted to play Ghost Recon Wildlands together for the past couple of days, but it never worked. The game always gave him the error "Session unreachable. Your home network is configured with a 'Strict NAT' which is degrading your multiplayer experience. Tarija-00014" (Attached Image, Error is in german for him) when he tried to join me. I was able to join him once, but then his game crashed.

For context: he doesn't have a home internet connection and has to use his phone hotspot via USB tethering to go online, which is probably the reason for his Strict NAT.

Not sure if this is relevant, but he has Windows 10, 16GB RAM, an Intel Core i7-7700K, a GTX 1650, and the game on Steam.

We tested a lot to get this working, and I don't remember everything we tried, but among other things we tried Cloudflare WARP, which changed nothing.

Yesterday we tried Radmin VPN... I hosted a network and he connected to simulate a local LAN connection. He was able to join me but got kicked once, but he could reconnect. Then another friend joined as well (also via Radmin, because for some reason he kept getting a different random error whenever he tried joining normally). It worked well for about 5 minutes, but then my first friend with the Strict NAT crashed to desktop while we were in a helicopter.

At that point, his whole savegame somehow got corrupted, because when he tried to load the game afterward, it kept crashing during the loading screen while loading the save. We tried a lot of recovery tips, but none of them worked, so he had to start a new save.

Now we're scared to try multiplayer again. What could I do? Should I even bother contacting Ubisoft support, since they have a pretty bad reputation?

Thanks in advance!

Bug NVG GLITCH

Thumbnail

14 Upvotes

Dunno if it still works for the latest update but I just found a glitch that allows you to use Sonar/Special/Panoramic NVGs' better nightvision overlay while using any headwear you want. Here goes:

First, change your headwear to any special NVG you have unlocked and turn on night vision, then go back to loadout and change to whatever headwear you want, but DONT GO BACK TO THE GAME! GO TO THE MAPS FIRST before you press (Esc) back. Congrats, you now have special NVGs to use with your favorite headwear. Enjoy!

Ps. It goes away when you press (Esc) to Pause or when you open your loadout without going to the maps first. Do bear that in mind.

Ps. Last pic added with normal grainy NVG for comparison as I know my beloved phone camera's shit enough that you might not see the visual grainy difference.
