    uPlay won't download patch

    Dear All,

    I want to play Far Cry 4 on my PC, but it says it has to download a patch. When I try it says it is unable to download the patch.

    uPlay is unable to start your download. Check that you have an active internet connection and sufficient space on your hard drive then try again.

    My internet is fine (see I posted this). And I have 20 GB available on my SSD.

    Any tips?

    I had the same problem, and it sound weird, but you just have to run in administrator mode.
    You also have to set the max. download speed to 1 MB/s. That's all!

    I don't know how that is supposed to help here but you can do it from uPlay by selecting the settings icon (cogwheel) on the upper right hand side of the window. Then select Settings, Downloads and move the Bandwith usage limit slider to left until it says "1 MB/s". Remember to press Save at the end.

    Same problem over here. I have tried running in administrator mode and throttling Uplay to 1Mbps but it is still showing the same error.

    Can't download the patch

    Hi there, I'm trying to download the latest patch for "For Honor" but I get the message "not enough disk space or lacking internet connection", both ain't true. I've got plenty of space and internet is fine.

    Any way I can solve this?
    I'd like to play my game.
    thx

    Please make a thread in the Rainbow Six forums. Generally I recommend reinstalling Uplay and opening the program as administrator.
