r/watch_dogs

I can't play online in wd2 because of easy anticheat. I have it installed and I tried reinstalling it multiple times and doing alot of fixes but everytime I try playing multiplayer it says EasyAnticheat isn't installed and multiplayer will be disabled

I think it's fair to say that we can try to champion for a full fledged remake with an expanded story don't ya think?

Hey everyone, I'm having a really frustrating issue with the original Watch Dogs on PC, and I'm hoping someone can help me figure this out.

I originally had Watch Dogs on Ubisoft Connect, and later I bought it again on Steam. I currently have both versions installed in separate folders, and both appear as separate entries in Ubisoft Connect.

Here's what's happening:

• In the standalone Ubisoft Connect version, I can play Cash Run, but when I try to access Online Contracts, I get the message: "Waiting while we connect you to the servers," followed a few seconds later by "A Ubisoft service is not available at the moment. Please try again later."
• In the Steam version, Cash Run is marked as "Unavailable," and I can't access it. Online services don't work there either.
• I also own the Season Pass on Ubisoft Connect and can launch the Bad Blood DLC, although I don't remember exactly which edition of the base game I originally got.
• I checked Ubisoft's official server status page, and Watch Dogs for PC was listed as ❌PC. I'm not sure whether this means a temporary outage or something else.
• I also checked Ubisoft's list of discontinued online services, but Watch Dogs was listed there for Wii U, not PC.

I also tried the workaround posted by VOID.

I copied 1.save and 2.save from folder 541 (the Steam save folder) into folder 274 (the standalone Ubisoft version's save folder), replacing the existing files. I left 3.save untouched and then launched the game through Steam. One more clarification: I never got a Local Save vs. Cloud Save prompt when launching the Steam version, so I didn't have the option to choose Local Save.

Unfortunately, nothing changed. The Ubisoft service error still appears, and Cash Run is still unavailable in Steam.

I also checked Steam's userdata folder under app ID 243470, but it only contained screenshots, not my actual save files. My game saves appear to be located in Ubisoft Connect's savegames directory instead.

My questions are:

1. Has anyone managed to get Watch Dogs 1's online features working on PC recently?
2. Does ❌PC mean the servers are temporarily down, or could the online services have been partially discontinued?
3. Has anyone fixed this issue without buying another copy of the Standard Edition?
4. Could this be an account authentication or license issue, considering that I own the game on both Steam and Ubisoft Connect?
5. Is there anything else I can try without risking my Steam save files?

I'm trying to get Online Contracts, Online Hacking/Invasions, and the other multiplayer features working again. Any help would be appreciated!

How many of yall get on and go car to car just to loot the glovebox? Sometimes if I dont really feel like playing I'll just loot gloveboxes for the extra money and items.

I heard that if someone who already has access to the online servers invites me that i might be able to complete the tutorial and then play online on my own. anyone willing to invite to to the session??!? please lmk, tryna play with a friend!!

I get the fact that the gameplay and features WD2 has are way more and in a lot of ways better than WD1, but WD1 has things that the second game can’t even come close to imo.

The vibes, the story, the characters, the music, the city, the rain, the trees, the dept in NPCs, the music… are just a few of the things that make WD1 greater than WD2.

What do y’all think?

I think watch dogs ai is diffrent then the irl ones and tracking works a lil diffrent but most of it is very accurate, it's like The Lord gave someone at ubisoft a vision or something lmao

edit: brain fart said Activision instead of ubisoft oops

I love the Watch Dogs 2 video game so much, but I could not find the stickers I want on the market. So I bought a printer and printed the stickers of this video game myself. Now I can paste these stickers on my cards, water bottle and computer.
