Uplay account holders, however, apparently should not be worried that they missed the chance at a free copy of Watch Dogs 2. Ubisoft, in a statement to Eurogamer, said that it was aware of the issue and that it was working to resolve the problem during the live stream. However, that turned out to be a problem, with #CANTLOGIN flooding the Twitch and YouTube streams of the virtual event. All they had to do was to log in with their Uplay account during the broadcast. Ubisoft said that it would be giving away free downloads of Watch Dogs 2 to people who would watch Ubisoft Forward live. Ubisoft Forward, Ubisoft’s digital showcase for its upcoming games, was plagued by Uplay log-in issues, as viewers attempted to claim the promised free copy of Watch Dogs 2 for the PC. It's a hugely changed experience in tone and character from Watch Dogs 1 and there's a wealth of genuinely fun stuff to find and explore - such as hacking Ubisoft San Francisco for that unannounced Ubisoft sci-fi game trailer.Īll of that will be soured, however, if the publisher cannot re-enable the game's suite of multiplayer modes soon. That said, and now the review embargo has expired, I've really enjoyed the game's opening 10 hours or so. This means the classic Watch Dogs invasion gameplay is currently unavailable - which is a big part of the game's fun. You can, however, go them alone (it's not too difficult to lone wolf them in my experience) - although this is hardly the point.įinally, as Ubisoft states, seamless multiplayer does not work. These purple icon missions are suggested to the player frequently in the game's early stages and are a good source of XP. You'll first see a message that Ubisoft servers are searching for other players nearby, then in your region, then finally globally. Online sessions with random co-op partners do not work - these are the purple icons on your map, for activity types such as taking over gang hideouts, freeing DedSec prisoners and the like. Ian and myself playing moments ago in co-op, which works fine.Ĭo-op gameplay does work - this is where you send a direct request to a friend to join you and you can play together. In my experience, any attempt to play with other people left the game chugging at around 10fps until I quit and restarted - although the frequency this occurred varied among the Eurogamer team.īut while Ubisoft describes the issue as affecting the game's seamless online only - where players can suddenly appear in your game to hack or help you - the game's multiplayer servers are more affected than you might think. Ubisoft is aware and told Eurogamer on Saturday it was confident the situation would be resolved by tomorrow for launch.Įurogamer has consequently delayed publishing our Watch Dogs 2 review as a result. Watch Dogs 2 main menu warns of issues.Īs we reported over the weekend, Ubisoft has disabled Watch Dogs 2's 'seamless multiplayer feature' until further notice because it 'caused the game to lag and crash periodically'. However, Ubisoft's big new open-world is only part open for business. Watch Dogs 2 does not launch until tomorrow, but early copies are already in many players' hands and the game's review embargo has just lifted. This means it will almost certainly miss tomorrow's launch date.įull details on exactly what is and isn't working lie below:
