      I reckon most people can beat this game in a week so you might as well get on a 7 day Uplay Plus trial and play it through there instead

    Am not sure if this will work, but better than nothing
    1. Logged in uplay, tick on remember me (I use chrome)
    2. Create task scheduler in windows:
    a. Only run when user is logged in
    b. trigger: based on time above
    c. action: start a program
    program: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
    arguments: uplay.ubisoft.com
    d. save
    3. test if it can run by right click -> "Run", it should open chrome and go into uplay website
    4. Leave pc on at 12 July night

    • cheng2008 on 09/07/2020 - 18:01

      I assume you have to click a button or check out for free.

    Current time is 4:20am, if you are up around now then may the OZ Bargain force be with you!

    In Uplay there is a "Ubisoft Forward Live Stream" button at the top.of Uplay

    Otherwise I've found it will forward to here:

    …now awaiting for the show to start.
    Note: The game won't arrive until tomorrow. From the FAQs:

        Yep, looks like that now. I prelogged into Uplay which worked a moment ago but now says servers are off. Looks like they've messed this up.(Even their store is off now in Uplay)

  • yomn on 13/07/2020 - 04:29

    For anyone who might regret not logging on to get their free game:

    It's a total shirtshow. Log-in servers are down and people are getting suspended for too many log-in attempts.

    Chances are that they might just give it to everyone who says they tried to log on.

    • soupiejr on 13/07/2020 - 04:32

      Ubi Forward? More like Ubi Backwards, amirite?

      • yomn on 13/07/2020 - 04:38

        Heyooo!! Yeah it's a bit of a clusterfork.

        The best part is that you'll be suspended for an hour if you try to log in too many times. Which means you might miss out on the whole redemption window, since the 1 hour suspension resets every time you try to log in

    • g12345567 on 13/07/2020 - 04:38

      Trying to log in either via Uplay and Ubisoft web site. Not working and miss half the show trying. I sure hope they offer all these rewards later on for those who are unable to log in. As a reward for sitting through there show and getting no reward as promised.

    Hmm.. I didn't have any problem logging in.

    on the left there is a panel with the rewards listed.
    Watch 1 minute: Watch Dogs 2
    Watch 20 minutes: Watch Dogs Legion UbiSoft Forward Jacket (looks like its a cosmetic for the upcoming game)
    Watch 30 minutes: The Division 2 Apparel Cache Key Pack (its a… box.. or something)
    Watch 40 Minutes: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Moonlight (Looks like.. a pendant? maybe?)

    • yomn on 13/07/2020 - 04:40

      You might not be logged in anymore, if you logged in before Trackmania started.

      You can check by F5ing on the forward stream page. Chances are, where your username was, it'll say "Log In," which means you've been ejected like everyone else.

      • HeDanny on 13/07/2020 - 05:07

        My first reward just popped up. Says the game is available and "click to claim". Clicking goes to a login prompt which… doesn't.

  • supersabroso on 13/07/2020 - 05:03

    Yeah, this is an epic fail. I managed to log in before 4:30AM but it wouldn't register, I'd be logged out if I tried to click anything.

    Afterwards, I just keep getting the wait symbol and nothing ever happens with the login or it comes up with a login in error. Even tried to create a new account, no luck, can't log in.

    At least if you try to login through the uplay program on PC it makes it pretty clear, "A Ubisoft service is unavailable. Please try again later".

    The good news here is that due to the login problems, my guess is everyone will be getting the game for free.

    I'm hoping there will be some kind of process where you notify Ubi to tell them you tried to log in so they can credit you with the game. I'm always up at 5am, and couldn't log in, but I'm hoping this is the case for those who couldn't make it in the timeslot.

        Ubisoft makes lots of money doing things other than selling WD2.

        They'll likely make WD2 available to claim for everyone for the next 24 hours or something, since so many people had login issues.
