U Play Has Stopped Working - Help Please

THEBERBSTER · 08-23-14, 08:22 AM

Hi guys

Clicked on the SH5 icon

Uplay starts looking for updates and then I get the windows message "Uplay Launcher has Stopped working"

Any ideas what I need to do?

It is working as of 17:30 hrs. Try it again.

THEBERBSTER · 08-23-14, 11:46 AM

Hi Gunslinger

Uninstall the Ucrap Game launcher.

This is the download link I found in SJFERGY18 post and can be recommended.

Sounds like I had the same issue. UbiPlay tried to install something and the it stopped working. I get the windows message "Uplay Launcher has Stopped working".

An easy solution that might work for you is to right click on the SH5.exe (or the icon) and select "Run as Administrator"

. This solved whatever issue it was having and it is easier that re-installing it. Hope this works for you, the next time it happens!!

SHunter.

Hi SHunter

Thanks for the tip very useful.

I have checked the exe and it is not set as an Administrator.

Thanks for tip

we should probably make this fix a sticky.

I built a new system over the summer. I reinstalled SH5 over the weekend from the original CD. All went well, the program logged on and updated to v 1.2. I was able to log on to Uplay. However, when I went to start the game, I kept getting the message that "Uplay has ceased working".

As suggested, I uninstalled the Ubisoft Game launcher, reinstalled that latest version and problem solved, game works fine.

Now I just have to catch up on the latest mods.
