![]() In Uplay in Watch Dogs 2 if you select Game Details and the click on Help, there is a link to Ubisoft FAQ with a section for Watch Dogs 2. Sometimes though this is caused by some strange Windows behaviour, and developers have to work out how to avoid a certain quirk of the system that only pops up with certain combinations of software or security updates installed, then make a new update with different versions of files that avoid the problem. There are quite a few executables in the Uplay folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher, and without Watch Dogs 2 prompting the firewall properly for access to the internet it's sometimes difficult to be sure that something else does not need access for EAC, WD2, and Uplay to connect everything the game requires. I'll just have to stuff around a bit, as I usually have Windows Firewall disabled as I use other firewall programs usually, but my favourite old firewall program got the best bits removed from it so now I am using Bitdefnder one instead and it's Paranoid Mode to prompt when new programs access the internet. ![]() That should allow Uplay and Watch Dogs 2 through the firewall now.įor some reason Watch Dogs 2 is not prompting my Bitdefender firewall to create rules to allow it through the firewall, so it may well not be prompting Windows Firewall either. Then you have to repeat it for C:\program files (x86)\ubisoft\ubisoft game launcher\upc.exe,Ĭ:\program files (x86)\ubisoft\ubisoft game launcher\uplaywebcore.exe and also C:\program files (x86)\ubisoft\ubisoft game launcher\ubisoftgamelauncher.exe. You then must do this for EAC.exe in the WatchDogs2 main folder also, and likely also SplashScreen.exe also in the bin folder. You select Allow a Program or Feature through Windows Firewall on the left side in Windows Firewall, then Allow another program., if Watch Dogs 2 is not in the list then select Browse and browse to C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\WatchDogs2\bin\watchDogs2.exe and make sure the box for Home and Public is ticked.
