  2. Old pc rarely used, but still good to go, but is still running Win7. I've always kept it on Win7 thinking I'd want to play again sometime, but that sh5 won't run on Win10/11 (could be wrong, don't know).
  3. I last played for a while maybe 2-3 years ago; at that point Uplay was still working on the pc, no problem.
  4. From what I've read now, versions of Uplay since April 2014, 2023, haven't supported Win7.
  5. I followed a workaround and dl'd a prior version of Uplay and tweaked a text file to fool it into thinking it's running a more recent version.
  6. That let's Uplay start up, but the first thing Uplay does is to update itself, and then it won't run.


Does anyone have any suggestions/guidance?


Thanks,
Bert
forget about uplay.
ubi abandoned that a few years ago, while you were away.
the replacement is Ubisoft Connect or Uconnect. it is available for free at Ubisoft however i cannot find the link.
