Part 3: How to Fix loader64.dll Errors (Legitimate Users)

If you own a legal copy of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, follow these steps in order. Do not download DLL files from random websites.

If you absolutely insist on exploring cracks...

Go to trusted scene release trackers only (not Google search results). Look for releases from established groups like EMPRESS or RUNE. Verify the hash (MD5/SHA256) of the loader64.dll against the crack’s NFO file. Never run a random DLL downloaded from a file-sharing forum. Solving the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Uplay R2 Loader64

3. Offline Mode

If the error occurs because Ubisoft Connect cannot reach the internet (and the DRM times out), launch the game once online, enable Offline Mode in Ubisoft Connect settings, and then launch. The DLL only performs a license check on startup.

8. Clean Boot

• msconfig → Selective startup → Disable non-Microsoft services.
• Prevents third-party software from interfering.

Security, stability, and legal risks

• Legal: Using or distributing DRM bypass tools to play pirated copies violates copyright law and the game's terms of service.
• Malware risk: Many loader DLLs are distributed with malware (trojans, miners, backdoors) or contain obfuscated code that performs hidden actions.
• Account risk: Running such tools can trigger anti-cheat or anti-piracy detections, resulting in permanent bans of game accounts and associated online services.
• System stability: Improper DLL hooks or driver installs can crash games, corrupt save files, or cause blue screens (BSOD) if kernel components are involved.
• Privacy risk: Some loaders include data-stealing components or open remote access channels.

Step 2: Verify Game Files

Ubisoft Connect:

1. Open Ubisoft Connect.
2. Go to the Games tab.
3. Hover over Assassin's Creed Valhalla, click the three dots.
4. Select Verify files.
5. Wait for the scan to complete. It will automatically redownload any missing or corrupt DLLs, including loader64.dll.

Epic Games Store:

1. Open Epic Launcher.
2. Click on the three dots next to Valhalla.
3. Click Manage > Verify.

Step 4: Manual Register (Advanced)

Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:

regsvr32 "C:\full\path\to\loader64.dll"

(Replace with your actual path). This forces Windows to re-register the DLL in the registry.
