  1. Locate the game shortcut on Desktop or the Start Menu. Usually, it’s easiest to locate the shortcut in the Start Menu by typing the game name.
  2. Right-click the located shortcut and select Open file location.
    • On Windows 10, selecting this option on the Start Menu shortcut might take you to the location of the shortcut, not the game’s executable(easily identifiable by Start Menu in the path). If that happens, right-click the shortcut and select Open file location from the context menu.
  3. An Explorer window will open, revealing your game directory. You’ll want to put your mod files here.

This section assumes that you don’t use WinZIP, WinRAR or 7-Zip and instead refers to the tools included in Windows.If you use any of these third-party file archivers, I assume you know how to extract the archives.

  1. Right-click on the mod’s archive (.zip file), select Extract All….
  2. Set the Destination folder to the game’s directory you have previously located and click Extract.


    If a prompt saying “The destination has X files with the same names” shows up, select “Replace the files in the destination”.

  3. Files will be extracted and the extracted files will appear in the game directory.

This section is applicable only to select downloads.

  1. Locate the game directory and the mod’s configuration file – if the mod has a configuration file,it has the same name as the mod’s .asi file and has a .ini extension. If you have file extensions hidden,it might appear without one.
  2. Double-click the file to open it in a text editor of choice – typically Notepad.
  3. Make the necessary changes as instructed by individual mod’s configuration files, and save the file.

Many people have bought Watch Dogs Legion through Epic Games Store. Those who did still have to install Uplay, and the game requires both clients to be up when starting it. That’s not the worst part of it, though – a number of folks have been unable to play at all. They’re faced with a message asking for a Watch Dogs Legion Ubisoft Connect activation code for Epic Games Store, which they have no idea where to find. If you’re having trouble trying to link Ubisoft to Epic Games, this guide will help you fix the issue.

Where to find activation code?

In order to find the activation code, launch Uplay on its own, then go to Watch Dogs Legion and hit the Show Key button. That’s the activation code you need to enter on EGS. If you get a new message, saying that this code is already activated on this account, you could try deleting the game and installing it through Uplay. We’ve seen a lot of reports saying that solved it.

Locate installed game not working

Some have tried to avoid downloading the game again by using the Locate Installed Game feature from the Ubisoft launcher. Sadly, this does not seem to work – the client doesn’t recognize the EGS version, probably due to a slight difference stemming from being on different clients.

If entering the key and redownloading the game through Uplay don’t work, there’s not much more you can do. You will just have to wait for the developers to fix the issue. It’s far from the only one, but it’s definitely among the most egregious ones, like the constant crashing in the PC version or overheating the console to the point where it shuts down on Xbox.
