[MR L.M.G]

im trying ubisoft support will let you know if i have any luck.

[gnagno]

i did the same,
but in ubisoft support there's an announcemnt saying they are having problems with all their on line services? maybe it is related to that?

[MR L.M.G]

maybe guess we will wait and see ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks

[MR L.M.G]

I believe I have found a solution.

One of the changes is removing the distribution.steam file from the game, for whatever reason this file is necessary.

To fix this simply open notepad and click save as on an empty document, save it as distribution.steam with "All Files" selected for Save as Type.

Be sure to save it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Far Cry 6\bin or whatever your Far Cry 6 game's directory is.

Once the file is saved into the folder the game should run normally again.

the .steam is the EXTENSION of the FILENAME: distribution

MAKE SURE to place the distribution.steam in the Far Cry 6 BIN Folder.

didn't work for me

there's no activation key on steam because it auto links to your uplay account.
make sure you have the game on your ubisoft launcher.
try to verify integrity on steam and if you installed any mods, remove them.

not showing up in uplay only thing i did was install and press play then uplay asking for cd key

i believe it's just ubi covering for their network problems. i haven't done anything or changed anything and after an afternoon now it magically works.

yup same here just started working that was a headache.

[ŋedry]

verifying files fixed this for me

If any newer people find this thread, I found a solution that at least worked for me. I just logged out on the Ubisoft launcher and it then let me play the game.

I have tried all possible normal and perverted ways to solve this problem. Nothing helped:
- relogin to Steam and Ubisoft Connect
- creating a new account in Ubisoft Connect
- complete removal of Ubisoft Connect from the hard drive, with all temporary files and registry entries
- unlinking synchronization in Ubisoft Connect from Steam and binding again (via another Ubisoft - "Flashback", since this is impossible to do through Far Cry 6)
- advice from this thread on creating a distribution.steam file
- file integrity check
- reinstall the game (twice)
- restart pc(well lol)
- try to use vpn
All this will not help in any way, and, i think, those who are supposedly helped by it are just a coincidence.
I tried contacting Steam support, explaining everything in detail. They replied that the problem was not on their part and that me needed to contact the publisher.
I create a ticket to Ubisoft support, they still haven’t responded for 3 days.
But, 48 hours later (approximately), after the first attempt to launch the game, suddenly the degenerate Ubisoft launcher detected the game,
and I was finally able to launch it.
Ubisoft seems to have real problems with synchronization between them and Steam.
And Ubisoft support is simply useless.
