Ok, this is strange :)
I downloaded a fresh legit install from Steam, and used your files and it works! Yes I can say it works!
My previous fresh one was a "not so legit" one, because TexMod and OpenTexmod won't work on a ubi/steam install !
I would bet it was just a matter of a game being up to date, you datapc.forge having a slightly different hierarchy than my "old" installation i'd guess!
A follow-up on my comment for "DataPC.bank" :
This one works! By that I mean with only the "DataPC_Abstergo.forge", the game starts with no problems at all and straight away! (does not hang at all)
Started a new game, textures are there, no crash or glitchs.
I don't know if it helps troubleshooting "why" the first one may not work for some but let me know if you need testing.
Unfortunately, I have the same issue as the guest.
On a clean fresh install with no other mods or reshades :
When the file is replaced, (with task manager opened on my second screed) , The game launch and become not responding 2 or 3 seconds later.
Since I know that, when using texMod to fully re-texture the game, it will hang a good 3, 4 minutes when launched before starting, I tried the same here.
Still on the fresh install with only the new DataPC.forge in, I started the game and left it hang for a good 5 minutes but nothing.
