No Online? Contact Ubisoft Support!

Hello fellow hackers!
Have you tried to play Watch_Dogs online but you cannot connect to the Ubisoft servers?

The problem is that your Ubisoft account does not have the online authorization to play. Follow these steps to get a code from Ubisoft to get access!

1. You will need some evidence before you start. Gather the following before contacting support to make it easier on you.
-1a. Screenshot: In-Game Error of not being able to connect to servers.

-1b. Screenshot: Watch_Dogs Steam Purchase Receipt. This screenshot must show the Steam window maximized with the desktop taskbar in view. Personally, I also provided a screenshot of the other Steam receipt you can get via a link in the first one but it may not be required.
-1c. Video: Main menu to gameplay showing you progressed past the mission "2XTheTap" (just fully complete Act 1 first because the progression tree does not show the mission), then attempt to connect online, finishing the video at the error. Upload the video to a YouTube account and set it to public visibility.

  1. Contact Ubisoft Support while logged into the account you play with. Choose support for Watch_Dogs 1 and PC then be detailed about the error and ask for a DLC Code for Online Play. <- This is important!!!! You need to ask for the DLC Code!!!
    2a. Provide both screenshots in the file uploader and the link to your YouTube video.
  2. Ubisoft will contact for more info or to tell you they escalated your case to someone else. You will then receive a code that will grant you access to online play. CHECK YOUR EMAIL OR THE CASE, I DIDN'T NOTICE IT UNTIL THEY CLOSED MY CASE
    3a. Use that code on Ubisoft Connect before launching the game.
  3. Profit, now go start matchmaking for Racing and Decryption.
