1-) Turn Modem Off and On

  • Type the command ipconfig /flushdns on the command prompt screen and press enter.
  • After this process, it will show that your dns cache has been successfully cleared.
  • Then again type the netsh winsock reset command on the command prompt screen and press enter.

After this process, restart the computer and run the Uplay application as an administrator. If the problem persists, let's move on to another suggestion.

3-) Register Another DNS Server

If none of the above processes have happened, let's save another DNS server to our computer.

  • Open the Control Panel.
  • Select the Network and Internet option.
  • On the screen that opens, open the Network and Sharing Center.
  • Click on the "Change adapter settings" option on the left.
  • Open the Properties menu by right-clicking on your Connection Type.
  • Double-click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP /IPv4).
  • Let's apply the settings by typing the Google DNS server that we will give below.
  • Preferred DNS server: 8.8.8.8
  • Other DNS server: 8.8.4.4
  • Then click on the "Verify settings on exit" option and press the OK button and apply the actions.

4-) Check Storage Space

Check the file size of the game you are going to download. You may encounter such error if the file is larger than the storage unit saved in your system. For this, you can reach the solution of the problem by cleaning the unnecessary files in your storage area.

5-) Connect with VPN

If none of the above suggestions came true, you can solve the problem by changing the ip with a vpn network. But this event will slow down your internet and your download speed will be lower than your default download speed.
