After the first cutscene, game is stuck in an infinite white loading screen.

It’s actually exactly the same for me. Infinite loading after the first video.
I’ve tried low details but same bug, delete saved game and new game but same too.
Reboot many time, verify files on the game, same.

I can’t play on my ultimate edition.

How to fix this issue

Fortunately, an user has managed to fix this issue. Here is a the fix suggested by Ubisoft Forum user /DAVEEHH:

Update driver to the newest one (I used nvidia) https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/166630/en-us
Open the game via ACValhalla_Plus directly from the game folder Go to option > Interface > General and turn off alternative hold. Go to screen > Turn on vsync into adaptive and also make the game into fullscreen (not borderless)
Now start new games, and wait until the white screen then you alt tab, open the task manager and you should see that ACValhalla processes use almost 100% of cpu usage, wait until its just using 30% or so usage, then you alt tab again to the game.

And the best part is that many users have confirmed that this fix actually works. So you can go ahead and try it. I mean, it is better than waiting for a patch from “Ubisoft”. Here is a link to the original post, so that you can see what is the status of this bug.
