Hey ND,

Thank you for kindly reaching out and sorry to hear that despite disabling notifications, you continue to receive them

For troubleshooting I would recommend to launch Ubisoft Connect, Steam and the game using admin rights [ubi.li] to ensure all permissions are granted for the change in settings to save.

Should you have any trouble, just let us know

It's not forgetting the setting. The setting remains off between sessions, it just doesn't DO anything. I get pop-ups even with all notifications disabled. Or more precisely it seems to block other notifications fine, but it does not prevent Ubisoft Challenge (achievement) notifications. This is inconsistent.

Hey ND.

Thanks for the explanation. I moved this thread to Player Support as this is the correct place for it. I hope you didn't have too much trouble finding it. Sorry if you did.

Can you check if by any chance you don't have two instances of Ubisoft Connect Installed and one of them has the notification options enabled?

Also, reinstall Ubisoft Connect, and manually delete all the files and folders related to it:
There are files in its default installation location - C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher - but also hidden folders in C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\Ubisoft Game Launcher.

This is where settings files are stored.

After deleting all of them, when you install Ubisoft Connect again, run the installer as administrator.

Check the notification settings and try the game.

Have the same issue. All notifications are disabled in the settings but they keep popping up in-game. This is why I hate all these launcher apps game developers impose on us. Unnecessary, useless, and downright annoying.

Hey euplay1220,

Sorry to hear that you still get interrupted by Ubisoft Connect notifications despite having them disabled.

You can disable the Ubisoft Connect overlay completely and no notifications will pop up after that. You can find it in:
Ubisoft Connect Settings > Interface > Enable in-game overlay for supported games

Hope it helps you.

I'm still getting the huge notification box in the middle of the screen despite having all notifications in Ubisoft Connect disabled and also having the in-game overlay disabled.

Who thought that having a huge box of text pop up whenever I complete an important step of the story game that I play in the middle of the screen was a good idea?

I don't know what's worse, having these garbage notifications ruin my immersion every time I do anything in the game or the fact that the settings that are supposed to turn them off do not work.

Hello Ðumah!

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue. Have you tried disabling the overlay, as suggested above? If the problem persists, could you please provide a screenshot showing the issue? This will help us better understand and assist you further.

Are there any games where you can actually turn the HUD 100% off? Like I know that most games these days have tons of settings for the HUD and they have a switch to turn it off but I'm asking if there are any games where this actually works? They all get it wrong. Stalker 2 was the closest I've seen to getting it right but now there's a bug that locks subtitles on the screen even after the dialogue despite have subtitles turned off!?!?! So so so annoying.

Same thing with Far Cry 6. I can't believe it.

Here’s the screenshot: https://imgbox.com/9sHR4hdL

As you can see, the notification takes up a large part of the screen and is low quality. On top of that, even though the Ubisoft client is set to English, the notifications are still in Polish. I have completely disabled the Ubisoft overlay and all notifications, yet I still keep getting Ubisoft Connect notifications about challenges. How do I turn this off?!

I will just chime in to confirm that I too am still getting these obnoxious pop-ups whenever I play any Ubisoft game despite having ALL notifications disabled. None of the instructions or suggestions work. This is not a user issue, this is a bugged software problem. Ubisoft, fix your Ubisoft Connect launcher Overlay and remove these garbage pop-ups.

I learnt today that Ubisoft Connect notifications, including challenge ones, are baked into the game and there’s no way to disable them. But I honestly have no idea why the hell they’re so huge, even though I’m playing in 1080p fullscreen.

What a brilliant move on their part...
