I also have that issue: the game doesn’t ask for Ubisoft credentials to login and doesn’t access the servers either.
I have Starlink on Switch and it works fine; AC3 R, on the other hand, is never able to connect, it doesn’t show up in my games on the Club page and I can’t get rewards from the club.
I filed a ticket for this. Some people with this same issue have fixed it deleting and re-downloading the game; I tried this twice and I still have the issue, unfortunately 😞
I’ll keep you posted if the support is able to help me.
After 2 weeks we’re still missing any solution or even a reply from Ubisoft saying they are working on the issues and will release a patch somewhere in the future.
Should we just assume they don’t care and leave this game behind? That would be quite upsetting: you don’t release a game with all these bugs and then move on, even if it’s an “old” game port.
I mean: Skyrim has all the bugs the original (and remastered) game has, but Bethesda never fixed their games. Ubisoft, on the contrary, usually constantly releases updates and patches.
I guess they’re just too focused on adding content to AC Odyssey to care about fixing this wreckage.
