This might be a stupid question but is it possible to copy the files you need to your Uplay install? It doesn't guarantee that the game will use them but worth a try I suppose.

Also you have Division 2 on Uplay and Steam? Why?

[–] dinckelman@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No, I don't. I got it on a whim through Epic, when it was on like a 90% sale, and that's the only game I own there, but it's installed through Uplay itself. The reason I know about the files, is because they appear in a steamdb manifest

Theoretically would you've said could work, but since we're talking about modifying critical files, they might just slap me with a ban, and I don't really feel like doing that. They probably check the hashes of the included bundle immediately

I was in same situation with Star Wars: Squadrons i got it on Origin and some files for anti cheat were missing that steam version of game had... I found online missing files copy and paste and game worked

Understandable. I'm not sure how strict Uplay is about the files but from my experience with the bot in R6 Siege, it probably hands out bans like chocolate in Halloween.
