    I bought 1404 HE from Ubisoft and I can't play at all. Game won't start. And I know is their "new" platform patch that causing this nonsense.

    Don't know if I have online profile or not. What I know is that their platform is using ROP (Return Oriented programming).

    The reports is longer than that above and is clearly that the upc.exe doing something not so clean.


    Return-oriented programming (ROP) is a computer security exploit technique that allows an attacker to execute code in the presence of security defenses such as executable space protection and code signing


    The new mighty patch is developed for mining data and other stuff. I know there is transition of data between the old and new one but my account got 2 titles how can they mess that up?


    Is about time to LET me play the game I PAID FOR.

    For 3 days I tried to fix the messed up locked game by Ubiconect thinking that is my win 10 , removed C++ and updated drivers, reinstalled C++ , even updated windows to 20H2 I mean WHAT else somebody can do the FIX a mess by Ubisoft? Seriously. You call this Gaming platform when you lock out the one who pays for it for 3 days???????

    Sry Ubisoft I haven't spend much money in your huge sales and offers this season, but tell me one single reason, why should I.
