Just a salty ass chicken nugget

After pretty much a whole ass WEEK of trying to get this game to work, I finally got it going again!! Holy fucking shit!!!

Below is my original post, but my AFOP on Steam absolutely stopped working entirely. It wouldn't launch and the from everything I tried, it seems like the handshake between Steam and Ubisoft Connect was failing and ultimately rendered the game unplayable.

I caved and created a new Ubisoft account that is NOT linked to my Steam account and bought a completely separate version of the game, and immediately upon installation it was doing the same thing: not launching. I went through every fix possible for the last two days and nothing until tonight.

I went through countless fixes, admin access, driver updates and rollbacks, turning off all sorts of stuff... and tbh while I absolutely HATE the fact AI exists, I don't think I would have gotten this game running again if I hadn't used Gemini and kept throwing every error screen and every instance of the game repeatedly staying as a Background Process instead of launching as an exe file... which is a win/lose.

Part of the issue was AMD. Another was Malwarebytes Real-Time Protection blocking parts of the install. Also various compatability issues that never occurred until I tried to boot the original Steam version up on July 3rd.

It literally took from July 3rd to July 11th, posting to Steam Forums for help, contacted and being ghosted outright by Ubisoft Support, seeking further help on the AFOP subreddit, and ultimately being such a stubborn pink-ass that I swallowed my pride and used an AI tool to get the game running again. There were so many hoops to jump through that my brain is legit MUSH, I wouldn't be able to remember everything I did... I just know it took from 4pm when I got home from work to now, 9:40pm Pacific-Standard Time (California). I spent FOUR FUCKING HOURS ON THIS.

But at least the game functions again. I have to start all over, but its worth it. Now I can add my mods back in and actually play as my own Na'vi as planned.

I don't remember my dream fully but I was having an Avatar themed dream. Got some playing the game in the dream and went to work, someone asked about missing, then I came home.

I went back to bed in my dream and this figure climbed on top of me, straddled me. In the dream I obviously freaked out because I couldn't see a face, they were on ribcage, etc. so I'm trying to fight them off and get them off me. I vividly could FEEL this figure sitting on me as I tried desperately to get them off. All I really see is a white shirt and a figure on me, and the skin was very soft and smooth.

Then I ACTUALLY woke up. From the dream. And as I lay there trying to slow my breathing I can literally feel weight coming off my body and feel my blankets and the mattress shifting like something just dissipated and was just.. gone.
