Can’t Add Friends to Uplay? Here’s What You Should Do

Here we can see, “Can’t Add Friends to Uplay? Here’s What You Should Do”

Ubisoft’s own game distribution channel, Uplay, allows players to buy and download games and DLCs.

You can also use it to keep track of your achievements, read the news, and talk with friends.

However, this last feature has been causing issues, with players reporting that their friend’s list has vanished.

On the official Ubisoft forums, more information was provided:

The friend list is not loading anymore and wont show up. It´s just loading and loading but no friends showing up. How do we fix this problem?

Various gamers have complained about other forums that while they can see their friends list, they all appear to be offline even though they are all online.

Uplay says my friends are offline but they are online. I can send them private messages they can send me a private messages but I dont see them online.

Friends from Steam can’t be added to Uplay either

Players are also saying that they are unable to import their buddies from other gaming platforms like Steam.

I can manually add someone on uplay who has a uplay account but when trying to import friends from steam it gives the error of “Something went wrong. Your steam friends could not be imported.”

While it has not been formally proven that the two issues are linked, it is commonly known that Uplay has some Steam compatibility concerns.

What to do if your Uplay friends are not showing up

Users on the forums suggested these remedies, and most claim they work.

1. If you are using both Steam and Uplay

    1. Log off from Uplay.
    2. Steam should be closed.
    3. Ctrl + Shift + Esc combines the keys Ctrl, Shift, and Esc.
    4. Look for entries for Steam and Uplay.
    5. For each of them, select them and press End Task.
    6. Return to Steam and log in.
    7. Restart your Uplay session.
    8. Examine your contact list.

It should now be working; if not, see the solution below.

2. If you only use Uplay

    1. Go offline to the Uplay desktop menu and select Go Offline.
    2. After that, while you’re still offline, go to the menu and select Go Online.
    3. Examine your contact list.

3. Check to see if the problem is at Ubisoft’s end

If you and a few of your friends are experiencing similar issues simultaneously, visit Ubisoft’s website to see if there is a server-related issue.

Ubisoft conducts routine server maintenance, which is normally announced in advance.

Furthermore, their servers have been the target of numerous cyber-attacks; thus sudden server shutdowns could potentially be a factor.
