uplay stuck on "Looking for patches"

[Perryn ペリン]

How do I fix this?

A delayed thank you to OkToCancel: for providing this solution of running the game as admin, when the message 'looking for patches' appears. I have marked your answer as the top answer, to allow other players to find this more easily, thanks again for helping our other players out.

If you are now using the new version of Uplay, Ubisoft Connect as it may have updated, please follow these steps for this launcher too. Should you need a link to the new launcher, you can find it here > https://ubisoftconnect.com/en-GB/

Messaggio originale di OkToCancel:

i know it is kind of late and i hope you fixed this, running uplay in adminstrator mode will help fix the issue (did for me)

Thx, it worked!

Running as admin worked for me, and it's now August 2023.

doesn't work for me. Had to restart the modem and computer. It worked.

As mentioned in this thread running the Ubisoft Connect launcher with administrator rights should resolve this.

Additional steps to try if that does not help:

- Clear Ubisoft Connect cache - https://ubi.li/uNKwr
- Connectivity troubleshooting - https://ubi.li/z4Aav
- Uninstall the game and Ubisoft Connect, then reinstall them on the same drive as your OS - https://ubi.li/cf8hs

I will now lock this thread as it is quite old.
