The error exclaims: “You cannot access this feature while Ubisoft Connect is in offline mode. ATTENTION!: Snowshoe-56D536C3″

Firstly, try these basic fixes to make sure the issue isn’t at your end:

Key Takeaways

Following are some methods by which you can fix this error:

  1. Check Ubisoft Servers Status
  2. Reset your Ubisoft password.
  3. Go online in Ubisoft Connect.
  4. Whitelist the game in your antivirus.
  5. Make sure you’re not playing on a large network.

Check Ubisoft Server Status

The first thing you need to do is check whether Ubisoft’s servers are up and running. This is because if the servers are down, Ubisoft Connect won’t be able to go online and it’ll stay in Offline mode. So head on over to Ubisoft’s official server status page and check whether the servers are down or not.

Reset Your Ubisoft Password

Resetting your Ubisoft password can potentially solve the Far Cry 6 Snowshoe Error by addressing potential authentication issues or synchronization problems with your Ubisoft account. In some cases, corrupted or outdated login credentials stored locally on your device can cause communication disruptions with Ubisoft’s servers, leading to the error.

Resetting your Ubisoft password forces a refresh of your login credentials, ensuring that your device is using the latest and most accurate login information.

For this, you need to:

  1. Go to the official website of Ubisoft.
  2. Log in to your account.
  3. Go to your account details.
  4. Reset your password.

Go Online In Ubisoft Connect

The Snowshoe error also sometimes appears due to a bug in the Ubisoft Connect application. You may appear online in the application, but the game will still tell you that you cannot access the feature while “Ubisoft Connect is offline.”

To manually go online, you need to follow the steps mentioned below:

  1. Launch Ubisoft Connect > log in > Click on Profile.
  2. Click Online.

Remember that even if the application shows you’re already online, you still need to click on the Online option, as this will make the bug disappear and make you appear online again.

Whitelist Far Cry 6 In Your Antivirus

If the above methods did not solve the issue, there is a possibility that your antivirus might be preventing the game from accessing the internet. This happens when the Windows Defender or any other antivirus software marks the game as a threat, blocking its internet access. If this is the case, you must whitelist Far Cry 6 on your antivirus.

Make Sure You’re Not Connected To A Large Network

It is important to remember that the error may also appear if you are trying to play Far Cry 6 while connected to a school or workplace network.

This is because such networks tend to be large, which is why your connection may be restricted. If this is the case, try playing the game by connecting it to a different network to see if that fixes the issue.

My Thoughts On Far Cry 6 Snowshoe Error

I’ve certainly been enjoying playing Far Cry 6 recently but I’ve constantly been facing errors and bugs, including the Snowshoe error. The error is relatively easy to fix since it is a connection-related issue.

This has been really frustrating and makes me disappointed in the developer team. People were also talking about the error on forums like Reddit and Steam.

The people at Ubisoft have addressed the error on their site and have provided a fix.
