"Where" did you buy the game, as in country, and are you using a VPN? Ubisoft's launcher is absolute shite when used with a VPN in my experience. Downloading 65GB also takes a lot of time and takes traffic.Ĭan anyone tell me any easier solution or should I just process with my current plan? Any of you had the same problem? Right now, I'm downloading it again in Ubisoft games folder and when it's finished, I plan to delete the game folder where initially Epic store downloaded the game and I hope Epic store won't give me a headache telling me that it can't detect game or I will jump from the window.
#UPLAY PC LAUNCHER DOWNLOAD#
I thought maybe Ubisoft launched is smart enough to detect that the destination where it's going to download files already has those files and thought it would start launching the game, but it's too dumb to understand it and still tries to download the game and it already takes another 65GB space from the start and my disk goes red. I canceled it and then tried again, but this time I chose the same destination where epic store already has downloaded the game.
#UPLAY PC LAUNCHER INSTALL#
Finally downloaded and now when I want to play and click to launch, it opens Ubisoft client which also asks me where to install the game and after I choose the place, it also starts downloading that game, while Epic Store already downloaded.
Clicked to install and it started downloading. You can read the nitty gritty details in Ubisoft's FAQ.I bought today an Ubisoft game on Epic Store. Ubisoft Connect launches on October 29th. Ubisoft also say that over 1000 former Ubisoft Club rewards are now freely available-skins, cosmetics, and the like. There will also be a mobile app on the App Store and Google Play store where you can find your stats, the store, and all that while on the go. You won't need to redownload your games and will retain the Units you've earned.
#UPLAY PC LAUNCHER UPDATE#
If you already have Uplay installed, Ubisoft say that it should update to Ubisoft Connect automatically. "Most Ubisoft games with a multiplayer functionality aim to support this feature," they say. Interestingly, Watch Dogs Legion isn't there, despite the new application launching the same day as the game.Ĭross-platform multiplayer is a part of Ubisoft Connect as well. On their official site they list Hyper Scape, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Immortals Fenyx Rising, and Riders Republic.

The biggo change is cross-progression between PC and console which will let you pick up your save file between machines if you happen to play on both a desktop and a console.
You know, all that standard publisher launcher stuff.
The launch trailer goes over plenty of things you'll already be familiar with if you'd been using Uplay previously. It may not have a terribly cute nickname, but Ubisoft Connect is bringing cross-progression between PC and consoles, meaning your game's save data, for new Ubisoft games when it launches on October 29th. Ubisoft's PC game launcher Uplay is getting a makeover and a name change to extremely straightforward Ubisoft Connect for PC.
