Uplay redownloading.

[DooDooFeces]

I bought the game from Steam, when I run it, uplay wants to download the whole game again.
How do I fix this?

You can't, you need to download the whole game again for it to activate.

I don't belive that is true. I aslo have Assassins Creed Black Flag on Steam and you play does not redownload that game, it runs it fine.

Good luck finding that solution then, it's been asked several times today and they have all redownloaded it.

The reason it redownloads is so steam can verify the game cache from a legit source.

Here's what I did, it worked for me.

I played free from Uplay, but bought the game from Steam.

I moved the game folder from Ubisoft Games\Tom Clancy's The Division (Or wherever the game is on your PC) to Steam\steamapps\common
(Looks like this now E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Tom Clancy's The Division).

When I started downloading the game trough steam, steam started "Discovering" the game files, once done,
it simply installed the game and downloaded whatever was missing, for me it was approximately 800Mb-1.20Gb.

Once Steam was done, just to be safe, I verified the game files, it gave me no error.

I then launched the game through Steam, which runs Uplay. Uplay should popup a window
asking you where to install the game, what you do then is simply find the game folder in:
Steam\steamapps\common\Tom Clancy's The Division

Then Uplay will start to "Discover" the game files, once it finishes, you are done.

At least I was :) Goodluck.
