    Uplay won't launch - cannot start in FC4 shortcut either

    Running Win10 with G-Force 970 and the game worked last time I played.

    On assignment and didn't use my computer for one year - tried to play FC4 this morning and got this error:

    "The procedure entry point
    ?SetEalInterface@SystemDetection@G4@@YAXABUeal_mem _dll_interface@@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library gear_detection_win32SA.dll"

    This follows up with the crash detection logging in the Uplay crash dump file.

    I tried doing compatibility testing for both Win7 and Win8 and got the same error. I also run AVG antivirus/firewall which I shut down and that didn't work either.

    Any ideas?

    uninstall Uplay and reinstall it from the Uplay web page here https://uplay.ubi.com

    sounds like you may have an old version of the launcher installed

    uninstalling and reinstalling Uplay worked - thank you for the suggestion!

    I really appreciate the advice, that worked like a charm.
