Uplay Launcher stuck on initializing.

[BobkusMan]

Just happened today, never seen it before and have no idea how to fix it. I've searched it up and none of the threads I found have a solution that worked for me. Anyone have any suggestions?

Please try running Uplay as an administrator. to do this, go to the following location
C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher

• Right click Uplay.exe
  
• Select properties
  
• Switch to the compatibility tab and tick run this program as an administrator.
  
• Click Apply and then OK

Bounty-za like UbiTripp'n said you need to first set your uplay to start on admin automatically and also on your uplay games too.. also if you have that game binded with steam too then just do the same for steam too. [If all these doesn't works for you, then just exit uplay after getting that error completely and change your system date. [if it is 6th sep today ..set your date to 2nd sep. In short go backwards] and restart system. Now try to launch the game. It worked for me :)

Hey, have you tried the steps that Ubi-Tripp'n suggested at the top?

You could also try re-installing Uplay PC to see if that will help.

Hey I have tried to re-download and run as admin but the uplay thing still launches but when it gets to initializing it just stops and says a uplay service is unavailable hope someone could help.

Thanks for contacting us.

Are you using any VPN or connection manipulating software? This is something that can cause issues with connecting to Uplay and we'd advise disabling this if you haven't already.

Do you know if you are using IPv4 or IPv6?
