Fixing the GOG Galaxy 2.0 Ubisoft Connect plugin connection

Dec 13, 2024

The issue

Upon connecting the GOG Galaxy client to Ubisoft Connect, it goes into a disconnected state again. This happens just seconds after signing in to the Ubisoft Connect account using the plugin’s login.

How to fix the issue

???+ note This seems to be an open issue in the GitHub repo referenced below. A definitive solution has not been found as this method needs to be re-applied from time to time.

A solution shared on a Reddit post applies here:

Not able to connect my ubisoft connect with GoG galaxy

And this is also shared in this GitHub issue:

https://github.com/FriendsOfGalaxy/galaxy-integration-uplay/issues/33#issuecomment-1444362239

The basics are here for reference:

Click on the “Connect” button in the Ubisoft Connect integration settings on GOG Galaxy
Upon getting the screen, copy the (1) appId and (2) genomeId values from the pop-up URL

Modify the file %localappdata%\GOG.com\Galaxy\plugins\installed\uplay_afb5a69c-b2ee-4d58-b916-f4cd75d4999a\consts.py
- If using VSCode, you can just execute in a powershell shell this command

code %localappdata%\GOG.com\Galaxy\plugins\installed\uplay_afb5a69c-b2ee-4d58-b916-f4cd75d4999a\consts.py

Find the lines shown below and replace the values with the ones you got from the Ubisoft Connect login screen

CLUB_APPID = "f35adcb5-1911-440c-b1c9-48fdc1701c68"
CLUB_GENOME_ID = "5b36b900-65d8-47f3-93c8-86bdaa48ab50"

Save the file and log in on the Ubisoft Connect login screen
The client should now stay connected, as shown below

!!! info inline end “Remember” Remember that this fix, so far, needs to be re-applied if Ubisoft changes the values on their side
