Summary
Getting the message “A Ubisoft Service is Currently Unavailable” can be very frustrating.

Some common fixes for the unavailable error message seem to get most users back online and working.

The most common methods to fix the error include restarting the computer and router, date and time settings, flushing the DNS and Winsock reset, changing the DNS server, and disabling IP Version 6.

If the above fixes do not work for you, system files may be corrupted, and some more extreme measures are uninstalling and reinstalling Windows.

This is not a recommended fix, but it may be the only option if all else fails.

Also, be sure to check for new Windows updates as there may be a known bug with a fix in an update available.

Some users have reported using a static IP address helps solve the issue, but this seems unlikely unless the IP address has been banned.

Connectivity issues with WiFi can possibly be a problem with using an Ethernet cable, if possible, and an easy way to bypass the WiFi.

There are, of course, other possible fixes for the currently unavailable error that we do not know about, so be sure to let us know in the comments below if you have a fix.
