Internals of Hyperscape: UPlay R1

UPlay R1 is Ubisoft's own legacy license checker and interface for Ubisoft's friend, party and chat services.

The game loads a library called uplay_r1_loader.dll, which finds uplay_r1.dll in the user's local installation of Ubisoft Connect (formerly UPlay). If this DLL cannot be found, the game exits and suggests for the user to ensure that UPlay is installed.

[!IMPORTANT] For 64-bit devices, uplay_r164_loader.dll is loaded instead, and searches for uplay_r164.dll!
