- Close Uplay and go to the "Ubisoft Game Launcher" folder. By default, the folder is located at the address «C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher». Copy here three files (Uplay Backup ACO, ACO_Offline, Uplay_Online) from the archive by the link https://yadi.sk/d/zF_-bukG3aA9FU
- After you have copied the files, run "Uplay Backup ACO" (This will make a copy of the settings of your offline Uplay client, which will protect it from an unplanned update).
- All subsequent ACO game starts are carried out strictly via the file "ACO_Offline" (make a shortcut on the desktop). To login to other Uplay accounts, use the "Uplay_Online" file.
