Ok I have had this problem myself. ie Could not communicate with Account Server error. What exactly is it that I need to do because as far as computers go I have no idea i know how to switch it on email and play games. Is it possible somebody could help me out with a step by step idiot guide before I really mess things up by fiddeling around.
Much thanks
If u having the same problem as me, with the "please use a valid username", what u can do it just make a new account, ofc u have to use another email, but this is not a fix tho, i hope ubi will sort this really soonishOriginally posted by taffjones89:

No my problem has nothing to do with the validations Ive done all the valid account stuff via the internet. My problems is it say when I try to get onto the game"Could not communicate with Account Server error" always comes up when I try to log in. I just do not get this problem and all this chat about ports ect.
Sorry to double post but I have tried using my girlfriends email to sign up and encountered the same problem. This really is unacceptable. I have come how after a 3 month patrol looking forward to playing this game and it wont even work. Instead of spending my leave having fun im trawling through forums trying to decypher computer jargon. I think ubisoft should be aware that we are not all computer experts and should write their solutions clearly and accordingly.
I agree with Taffjones89 it is a joke. I ike him struggle to understand techincal computer stuff and these copy paste things that have been posted make no sense whatso ever. The should be and instructional video or a step by step picture guide. Technically this is also fraud, paying for something that does not work!
i read alot about ppl had that problem, what u can do is:Originally posted by taffjones89:

find your "hosts" file in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
open it with notepad ect ect, and remove anything that doesn't have the mark # infront of it.
Save it, and try again
mine looks like this in Win 7
