My GPU is Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB and the game I want to play says it meets minimum requirements however, when i open the game, it gives me an error code saying 'unable to open *the game's file*'
Does this mean I cannot run the game? Any advice would be helpful.

Yes it is, here it is, the game I am trying to play is Watch Dogs : Legion and the recommended GPU is AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT but surely I would still be able to open and play it, just on lower settings because it says 'meets minimum requirements'

No, all my other games are fine its just this, I bought it yesterday as well and have never been able to open it. This is the error code I get when opening, I don't know if this will help at all?

That looks like a driver issue mate, I'd recommend removing all current GPU drivers and reinstalling them again with a clean install to see if that fixes the issue

I'm not really sure how to do it as well..
It's fairly simple, if you download DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and just google a guide on how to use it or watch a Youtube video it's very simple.

Then after DDU has removed the files restart the computer and go to Radeons website and download the latest driver and install then restart the computer again and bam you're done.

Should take around 30 minutes

Can download DDU here

Going by what I know and have read, a recommended spec of a 6900XT would be if you wanted to run Ray Tracing at high settings on a 4k screen as NVIDIA recommend the 3080 for that. Only thing I can think of that would need that power.

Anyway, none of that helps your issue. Either you are having a driver issue, as noted above, or the game installation is either missing a component or is corrupted
Probably the driver issue then. Ill look at some videos about it

I don't think it's a driver issues, it's pointing to a missing dll file from the games install directory.

Just uninstall it through the Ubisoft launcher and reinstall it.

You have to have ubisoft launcher installed at all times otherwise it won't run without it.
