Messing with the registry and downloading dodgy files can be risky and I won’t be responsible if you wreck your own computer following these steps. I take no responsibility for what you do with this information and/or any damage it does to your computer.I’d be interested to hear if there are any other configurations though. In fact, I don’t actually know anything about this beyond the problem on my own computer.There may be other configurations of the game(s) and/or installer that mean that either the reg keys or hex edits won’t work.Specifically, I don’t know if the installer cache is always 146, I don’t know if the base game reg key is always Uplay Install 87, I don’t know if Ubisoft have updated either of the base game or the expansion, and I don’t know if the F127526C… key is ever going to change.I have a testing sample size of 1, so it may or may not work for you. I have shown this to work on my computer.If you’d like to see how I came to this fix or perhaps would like to replicate it yourself, please read my earlier blog post where I explain in detail how I fixed this. I needed something that applied to the narrative so work with me here, ok? That said, if you’re here you probably have already bought the game and are looking to get what you have already bought working. ![]() Were I you, I’d just buy it on GOG, free of DRM and these problems. There have been complaints about this problem on forums going back years, with many open support tickets. It was sloppy work on their part and IMO unforgivable to take your money and offer you an unplayable game. The problem is caused because Ubisoft altered the registry keys of the base game without correcting references to those keys in the expansion pack installer. “Original game not found” error message window.
