In short: it’s not your fault. It’s a known race condition in their netcode that only manifests under specific latency + firewall conditions. If you’ve tried all of the above and still see Alberta-FFF0BDC0 , the issue is likely on Ubisoft’s side — specifically their entitlement server cluster in your region.
