I'll just have to stuff around a bit, as I usually have Windows Firewall disabled as I use other firewall programs usually, but my favourite old firewall program got the best bits removed from it so now I am using Bitdefnder one instead and it's Paranoid Mode to prompt when new programs access the internet. That should allow Uplay and Watch Dogs 2 through the firewall now.įor some reason Watch Dogs 2 is not prompting my Bitdefender firewall to create rules to allow it through the firewall, so it may well not be prompting Windows Firewall either. Then you have to repeat it for C:\program files (x86)\ubisoft\ubisoft game launcher\upc.exe,Ĭ:\program files (x86)\ubisoft\ubisoft game launcher\uplaywebcore.exe and also C:\program files (x86)\ubisoft\ubisoft game launcher\ubisoftgamelauncher.exe. You then must do this for EAC.exe in the WatchDogs2 main folder also, and likely also SplashScreen.exe also in the bin folder. You select Allow a Program or Feature through Windows Firewall on the left side in Windows Firewall, then Allow another program., if Watch Dogs 2 is not in the list then select Browse and browse to C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\WatchDogs2\bin\watchDogs2.exe and make sure the box for Home and Public is ticked.
