VCRUNTIME140.dll missing
Problem I’m getting the following error message The program can’t start because VCRUNTIME140.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

[UPLAY] Cloud Saves
Introduction Most of the newer games today offer cloud saving. Saves will be uploaded to the Ubisoft servers and can be used by simply logging in with the same Ubisoft account.
