@kougrizzle Once downloaded, put Uplay in offline mode.

@asterix201252 Put Uplay in offline mode and start the game. Will fix it, until solved.

@askovan You can play this game offline and actually it's the solution to this current issue. I put Ubi in offline-mode and I don't get any issues now. Not how it should be, but addiction is satisfied now.

I have been trying to reproduce it, and it's fairly simple. When I reboot my computer, the game downloads another 2GB, and puts my internet for a crawl for 20min.

It keeps downgrading to the 11. version, and doesn't stick with the 12. meaning I have to re-download the 2GB; and I lose my saves. I try and verify my game files as well, but having to both download and verify, every single time I want to play, with the risk of losing my save games. It' just ruins my motivation for playing, and trying out the new DLC.

The next step is to re-download and reinstall, fingers crossed this will fix the issue.

Just remove the check in the settings saying "automatically update my recently played games". Will solve this issue, but not the one, that Ubis servers are not working right now.
