upc.exe
Feex tok say
If upc.exe show after you click Steam Ubisoft title, na Connect dey do di publisher check. I no go repair Galaxy for am, and I no go look for Fortnite inside dis window.

Wetin be Ubisoft Connect?

Ubisoft Connect na Ubisoft Windows launcher and overlay. upc.exe dey sign you into Ubisoft services even when Steam sell you di box art.

If you never use am before

If you dey play Assassin’s Creed, Rainbow Six, or another Ubisoft PC title, na dis client Ubisoft rename from Uplay. Download am from ubisoftconnect.com. Sign in with Ubisoft account. E no be Steam. To buy di same game on Steam often still dey start upc.exe for Ubisoft Club, overlay, and ownership checks. GOG optional Galaxy na di opposite idea.
