Figured it out, since I created my accounts in the US I had to set a proxy to the states and then connect my accounts. What kind of terrible programming is that? Still havent launched the game yet, stated there was an update needed so I am still waiting.

edit: I dont think there was actually an update. I havent received any indication of a download from anything. I checked in the application and there was nothing either. I dont think I will be able to boot the game yet.

I have purchased the game through epic games store, and after getting past the attempt to link my account and various other problems with the store, now I am getting asked to input an activation code that I never got or had to begin with! I am getting incredibly irritated and just want to play the game I spent $120 on.

edit: now I am back to the game constantly asking for me to sign into Ubisoft and receiving an error PI-UBI-01: 102008: Your game activation was not successful.
