hey I'm trying to get this to run but after installing it, I'm forced to download uplay and then I need to provide a key which I don't have. Guessing I'm doing something stupid though.
edit: downloaded through torrent since it has the patch installed if that changes anything.

You are not alone. And I registered here in hope to give others an answer that cost me four hours of my life:
Problem: After updating to Windows 11 24H2, many games cracked by Empress (e.g. Watch Dogs Legion, Far Cry 6, RE4 Remake, Hogwarts Legacy) no longer start—double-click, nothing happens.
Cause: It’s not your antivirus or system setup. The 24H2 update breaks older Empress cracks due to OS-level changes.
Status: Empress is inactive, so old cracks won’t be fixed retroactively. A user called skystart posted fixes on CS.RIN.RU.
Workarounds: Either roll back Windows or wait for game-specific compatibility fixes released by other groups (often shared on repack sites’ discussion sections).
Bottom line: If your Empress-cracked game stopped working after 24H2, you didn’t break anything—Windows did.
