Fixing uplay_r1.dll Errors in Splinter Cell: Blacklist (2021)

• Check antivirus/Quarantine for uplay_r1.dll and restore/allow it; add exceptions for the game folder and Ubisoft Connect.

Steam:

Right-click Splinter Cell Blacklist > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files .

• If reinstalling Ubisoft Connect and the game, and restoring DLLs doesn’t work, contact Ubisoft Support with:
  1. Open Windows Security > Virus & threat protection.
  2. Click Manage settings under "Virus & threat protection settings."
  3. Scroll down to Exclusions > Click Add or remove exclusions.
  4. Click Add folder > Browse to your Splinter Cell: Blacklist SYSTEM folder.
  5. Also add an exclusion for the Ubisoft Game Launcher folder.
  6. Re-extract or re-verify the game (as in Method 2) so the DLL is restored. It will now stay because of the exclusion.

  If the file is completely gone, you can manually replace it to restore functionality. Download from Trusted Sources
