    Uplay won't let me preload

    FC4 shows up in my account fine, but it won't let me preload. It tells me to check I have an active internet connection and if I have enough space on my HDD. The **** is going on?

    Exactly the same problem for me. Game is activated within uplay but getting the same error when trying to preload. What is it.....server related or intention by ubisoft? Obviously others are able to preload. Would be nice to know what's the matter here.

    I have the same problem, but I have preloaded other Uplay games like Watch Dogs (I was able to play it 5 days before release)
    so I'm not sure if it's just an error or if they don't want us to preload the game.

    Yes and that's exactly the point. It's the first time I got this specific error message when trying to preload a game instead of some "not available" message or something. I read in some other corresponding thread that several folks can already download the game (nvidia promo and over origin or steam) and the question is why we're not able to do so? So it would be good to know if this message is just an indication for still not available for some kind of keys, server probs or maybe some local client issues on our side.

    UPlay just needs to be run as Administrator. Just go into the start menu, or your desktop icon and right click then hit run as Administrator. Alternatively you can just hold down CTRL+Shift then click on it. That is the Windows Shortcut for running as an Admin. Hope this helps you guys.

    When i had the OP's problem, running in Admin mode didn't help at all, admin is not the answer to all problems, waiting till after a weekend and allowing them to get through all the posts on the forums is the best course of action after submitting a ticket.
