Fix Watch Dogs 2 not Starting (Multiplayer enabled)

Watch Dogs 2 Fix

A Guide to fixing Watch Dogs 2’s launching problem.

The fix that worked for me (Multiplayer works, too)

Watch Dogs 2

For this fix, we need to delete a file in the game repository.

  1. Head over to your Steam Library
  2. Right-click Watch Dogs 2
  3. Click Properties
  4. Go to the Local Files tab
  5. Click Browse Local Files.
  6. Access the bin folder
  7. Delete the DbgHelp.dll file.
  8. Alternatively, you can Cut the file and safekeep it in another folder just in case. However, it’s likely you can recover it by Verifying Game Cache.
  9. There might be a third method: Renaming the DbgHelp.dll file to something else so the game doesn’t recognize it, and considers it deleted. Would appreciate if someone confirmed this (You will be credited)

That’s it! I really hope this fixed your game. I have been reading the support page of Ubisoft and browsed pages of Steam Discussions until I found this fix.

The fix, with screenshots

For this fix, we need to delete a file in the game repository.

  • Head over to your Steam Library

  • Right-click Watch Dogs 2
  • Click Properties

  • Go to the Local Files tab

  • Click Browse Local Files.

  • Access the bin folder

  • Delete the DbgHelp.dll file.

  • Alternatively, you can Cut the file and safekeep it in another folder just in case. However, it’s likely you can recover it by Verifying Game Cache.

That’s it! I really hope this made you able to launch your game successfully and made it worth your money.

A fix that worked, but disables Multiplayer

For this fix, we need to add a launch paramater to the game. Keep in mind this fix disables multiplayer; since it disables the anti-cheat software EasyAntiCheat, which is required for online play.

  1. Head over to your Steam Library
  2. Right-click Watch Dogs 2
  3. Click Properties
  4. Click Add Launch Paramaters.
  5. Paste this in the field:

-eac_launcher

This fix is much simpler. However, remember this fix disables all online features.

Other general pointers that might help

Follow these steps as a last resort

For your convenience, this list is ranked from easiest to follow, least time-consuming (•) to more time consuming (•••)

You can try:

• Reinstalling EasyAntiCheat manually from C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Watch_Dogs2\EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe
• Launching Watch_Dogs 2 from Uplay
• Starting Uplay as admin
•• Verifying Game Cache on Steam
••• Updating Graphics Card drivers

NVIDIA Drivers: NVIDIA GeForce Experience (auto-detect) OR NVIDIA (manual)

AMD Drivers: Follow instructions here (auto-detect and manual)

Re-installing game (To avoid wasting time and frustration, only do this if launching issues have risen after you had played the game without problems recently).
