Black flag resynced not running

I got the new black flag and it downloaded fine, but anytime I launch it part way through it just gives up loading. When i load task manager it says it's using 0% of my cpu I know my computer can handel it. Every time it just launches and stops on one of the screens that appear before the game i am currently stuck on the please read before playing warning screen and the furthest i made it is to the settings menu that appears when you start a new game. Anyone else having this problem?
