Ubisoft Connect Chat not Working: How to Fix it

While it is fun to play games with friends, things become problematic when you are unable to communicate with them. This is what is happening to Ubisoft users as they complain that the Connect chat is not working.

Usually, the chat returns the following message: We are unable to deliver that message. Try again. Furthermore, others said that all their conversations and discussion groups have disappeared on the Uplay Overlay.

This is a pretty annoying issue and is most likely related to the connection. Fortunately, there are some solutions to fix it.

How can I fix Ubisoft Connect chat if its not working?

1. Make sure Uplay doesn’t start in Offline Mode

1. Open Uplay.
2. In the top-left corner, click on the menu icon.
3. Click on Settings.
4. Now select the Network tab.
5. Under the Network tab, make sure that Always Start Uplay in Offline Mode is unchecked.
   

2. Change proxy settings

1. In your Windows search box, type proxy and click on the first result.
2. In the Proxy settings window that appears, check if you have a manual proxy set up.
3. If so, under Manual proxy setup, uncheck Use a proxy server.

Proxy server issues are pretty annoying. Make them a thing of the past with the help of this guide.

3. Disable your antivirus and VPN

If you are using an antivirus solution or one of the best VPNs, make sure to disable them. Sometimes, antiviruses or the Windows Firewall can interfere with your internet connection or your apps and block certain features.

To make sure that’s not the case, disable your antivirus and check if the chat in Uplay is working. In certain cases, you might have to uninstall your antivirus.

For Norton users, we’ve got a dedicated guide on how to remove it from your PC completely. There’s a similar guide for McAfee users, as well.

If uninstalling the antivirus worked, and the Uplay chat doesn’t have issues anymore, you can install another antivirus solution.

4. Forward ports

If you can’t stop your firewall, you’ll need to configure it to follow some network ports. The Uplay Launcher ports are TCP: 80, 443, 13000, 13005, 13200, 14000, 14001, 14008.

After that, your Chat should be working properly. If you need more info on how to open firewall ports in Windows 10, we’ve prepared this useful guide to help you do it with ease.

2. A Command Prompt (Admin) window should appear.
3. Now type the command below and hit Enter: ipconfig /flushdns
4. After the process finishes, you should get the Windows IP Configuration Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache message.

6. Reinstall Uplay
