patch today.

[Neoafter]

I had a update for this today and other ubisoft games, I am lead to believe it was only the ubisoft launcher that was updated. I tried checking this game still works. It loads fine but my fans are going fast once loaded along with using 6gb mem and hitting up to 70% CPU.

Anyone else having issues?,

I have a 12th gen i9 with 3090 Ti and 128gb RAM so I am well over the recommended spec and should not have this. Not sure when I last played but did not have this.

The game wasn't updated, it's still v 1.6.3, which you can see on the main menu screen.

Hey there,

Sorry to hear that you have been having trouble playing the game.

If this is persisting then I would recommend to complete the steps in our pc troubleshooting guide[www.ubisoft.com] in full to configure your device for the game.

Any trouble, just let us know.

No patches according to steam db[steamdb.info] either.

The patch was to the ubisoft launcher that needs to be running and communicating with the game when running. I know the game files version was not updated as the launcher is deemed not part of the game and is used in all ubisoft games.

I looked at what was happening when I launched and it is the launcher appears to have issues, 773 logged errors from loading main menu to starting the game. Some with buffer overflow errors on file in the syswow64 then has alot more rows regarding direct x files like these

Another thing I have noticed that the upc.exe continues to run after exiting the game and I have to terminate it manually.

Hey Neoafter,

There is an option in UC settings:
Minimize Ubisoft Connect PC to the system tray when the application window is closed

Make sure you untick it, so the client will close when you close it after finishing a game.
Otherwise it will run in the background.
