    Easy anti cheat error in watchdogs 2

    Hello! I have been getting the "Easy anti-cheat not installed. Multiplayer will be disabled" error suddenly from today. I have been playing the game for a couple of past weeks and was having no issues.
    But from today at around 12pm UTC+0 the game is showing the error mentioned above whenever I try to play multiplayer. How can I fix this?

    Can't play all day today because there seems to be a problem with Ubisoft and the Anti Cheat. The same problem have friends of mine with WD2
    . When will it work again please ???

    Same problem. Not sure its anticheat, this message may be misleading. Most likely Ubi's WD2 server is down, I also get infinite "please wait while we connect to ubisoft server" when I try to open premium content list from the main menu.

    Hey Undertaker_05 and Bonnie_the_Soul. Thank you both for reaching out about this error! This is a bit of a strange error, so I recommend grabbing your MsInfo and DxDiag files and submitting them via our Support Site so that this can be looked into a little closer.

    Anykeyer, are you also getting the error about Anti-cheat on top of this infinite "please wait while we connect to ubisoft server" message?

    Hello UbiStorm thanks for the response... I have contacted the support team on the website and they are helping me out currently.

    Also many others from the community run discord server are having the same issue and recently Ubisoft's Support Website got updated and it showed that they were having problems on Server Degradation

    Could this be connected with the watchdogs 2 issue as well?

    Come on Ubisoft, this is getting ridiculous...you have to realize by now that no one can get online in WD2. This is not a port forwarding issue like you keep trying to push off to us, there is obviously something going on with your servers. UbiStorm, if you all would just look at how many people are complaining in the forums, you would realize how many people this is affecting.
