Locating game in uplay from steam!

[benjy]

I have rainbow six siege on my main steam and uplay account, but I recently got a new uplay account. When I am logged in to my new uplay account, it says that I have to download or locate the game even tho I have the game installed. Where do I find the game, which file? How do I locate the game?

Thank you for contacting us.

Just to confirm, you cannot change the Uplay account that is used with the game. You will need to continue using the same Uplay account.

In terms of the game, you cannot get Uplay to detect a Steam version of the game.

I know that! I already have Rainbow six on the new account though, I have R6 installed on my computer, but the new account has rainbow six to, it just says that I have to install it or locate it.

You can use the Steam installation to locate the game files, go to the game properties in Steam and "Browse local files".

Well there is many files to choose from. I can't pick the folder Tom Clanzy Rainbow Six Siege, O i gotta pick one of those, and I don't know which one.

Usually It would be the Root folder for the game, but as it may be crossing platforms (Steam > Uplay) it may not be recognised.
You would most likely need to reinstall the game from Uplay.

Hey, guys!!!

I bring another way to localte the game...

1 - Make a backup file in a folder named Tom Clanzy Rainbow Six Siege,
2- Put this file in the folder "ubisoft game launcher"
3 - You will try to locate the game, if the uplay client show a error message, pass to step 4

4 - Close the Uplay client
5 - let the backup folder inside the directory 'ubisoft game launcher'
6- then you will click in Download again, the client should recognize the files.
7- Wait the sincronism with the cloud.
8- Play the Game. IT WORKS FINE FOR ME . Hope this helps :)

Uplay Version ≠ Steam Version

Reason = Key Authentication + Steam Version has a File Authetication to allow use of Steam Wallet through Steam Overlay

Thanks for the suggestion, Paz.

I can't vouch for this working all the time, but hopefully this can be helpful to others.
