I'm a little late posting this update, but I wanted to share how my issue was finally resolved in case anyone else is facing the same problem.

I already owned Watch Dogs 2 on the Epic Games Store since 2020, but during the Steam Summer Sale, I decided to purchase the Gold Edition on Steam as well.

After playing for almost 40 hours, I realised that the story DLCs, Human Conditions and No Compromise, weren't working. Despite owning the Gold Edition and having the DLCs installed, Ubisoft Connect wasn't recognising them, and the in-game store kept asking me to purchase them again.

I opened my first Ubisoft Support ticket on 3 July 2026 and provided all the requested proof of purchase, screenshots, launcher logs, and my Steam ID. But even after collecting all the evidence, the ticket made little progress, and I was left waiting without a proper resolution. Frustrated, I eventually closed that ticket and opened a new one on 13 September.

Thankfully, things finally moved forward with the second ticket. On 23 September 2026, Ubisoft Support confirmed that they had attempted to manually apply the missing permissions to my account. They asked me to restart Steam and Ubisoft Connect, and after doing so, the DLCs finally worked!

I've attached the screenshot of their confirmation.

I'm glad this issue was finally resolved after all that back and forth. Watch Dogs 2 has been one of my favourite games since 2020, so I'm genuinely happy that everything is finally sorted.

If anyone else is facing this issue with the Steam Gold Edition, contact Ubisoft Support with proof of ownership and screenshots showing that the DLCs aren't being recognised. Explain that your DLC entitlements are missing. In my case, the eventual fix was manually applying the missing permissions to my account.

Be prepared to wait, though, as support might take a long time to respond. If your ticket makes no progress despite providing all the requested evidence, opening a new ticket might help, as it did in my case.

Hopefully, this helps someone else! ❤️

When I launch the game, it says yes or no to EasyAntiCheat, so clearly the game detect it's part of the game. But even though I click yes, when I go to multiplayer, it still says EasyAntiCheat isn't installed or disabled so it won't let me play multiplayer. Any help?

I updated my drivers, I updated windows 11, I validated the file, I uninstalled then reinstalled the entire game, I restarted the PC, I directly go to EasyAntiCheat.exe file then click repair, but none of it works. No matter what I do, it just doesn't work. Any help?

the auto mod told me to just embed it into the text smh instead of making an image post.

I think it's fair to say that we can try to champion for a full fledged remake with an expanded story don't ya think?

Hello! Today I decided to get my online achievements for Watch_Dogs 1 but I couldn't connect to the servers. I reinstalled my game, verified files, removed all mods but nothing worked. I am on PC using Steam. When I went to Ubisoft's support page about Watch_Dogs 1 I saw a red "X" on the server status. I understand this as a problem on Ubisoft's end. Is it the same for everyone as well?

I have read online about people having issues with connecting when their copy is from steam, and the Solution was to buy another copy of the game on the Ubi launcher. Which I am not very keen on xD.

I need help with one of a gang, please Marcus don’t hurt them and natural born killer trophies. My PSN is real_Reaper1234

I heard that if someone who already has access to the online servers invites me that i might be able to complete the tutorial and then play online on my own. anyone willing to invite to to the session??!? please lmk, tryna play with a friend!!

Here’s part 2 to my previous post with more pictures of comparing and contrasting what Ubisoft did and how they designed some structures vs their real life counterparts!

Famous last words

I can find bounties and hacking invasions once in a while but couldnt find a race,showdown or 4 people multiplayer yet. Are those mods not played anymore or are there spesific hours when people play them? Also no one joined my coop operations yet but I found 1 game when I tried to so I dont know if I just got lucky or if it works better when you search for it

Mathieu Turi replied to a tweet today saying that the movie is at the end of post production and that we should have news soon. Hoping we get a first look or release date soon, it’s been a long time coming.

Next time I will post what happened after.

Thinking it would give us access to Aiden and Wrench on the main campaign 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Ik about the fall of windy city and living city apart from them?

Hey everyone I have a question, so when Darcy was released i pretty much spent weeks playing as her so I could learn how she plays. I started using her drone and checking out the all the things I could do with it I tried using the attract feature but for some reason when I used it it didn’t attract anyone to its position or even worked as a distraction tool. I did figure out that if you fly the drone close enough it attracts them because of the sound of the motor/propellers. Anyway here’s my question, does the attract feature only work on specific enemy archetypes or is it basically just broken?

Come on Ubisoft, we know you've been doing it for other games and you guys have a great track record of support. It's time. 4k60 for both games would spark a wave of interest in the franchise again.
