I just installed the new PoP: Forgotten sands (steam). Installation went fine. When I try to launch the game, and I get error message:
"An internet connection is required to play this game. Failed to connect to the Ubisoft master servers. Please verify that your internet connection is functional and try again."
Well, my internet connection IS functional.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Edit, this gets dumped to console when trying to launch the game:
