New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on Sept. 16, 2019) follows:

Just in case you’re trying to get your head around why Uplay isn’t working for you, find solace in the fact that you aren’t the only one facing issues lately. For quick reminder, few hours back Ubisoft officially acknowledged a connectivity issue with Uplay PC, and in some time called the same as fixed.

We’re aware of an issue currently affecting connectivity and are working towards resolving this.

But looks like despite calling the problem being fixed, users are still facing connection issues and say they aren’t able to login or sign in. Here are some reports from Twitter for you to take a quick glance:
