It gives a generic error message saying that "a problem made Watch Dogs stop working correctly..."
then it goes back to the desktop after I close this message.

On Windows 7 it worked flawlessly. What's wrong? I couldn't find anything on google.
 
Solution
Right click on EAC.exe in the Watch Dogs install directory and click properties, compatibility, click run as administrator and run the program in compatibility mode and choose windows 7 from the drop down list, hit ok and start the game.
