This was the fix for the uplay error if this is your first time using Uplay on this computer you need to login at least once before using offline mode. The forum post where I found this solution was 50 pages long. I hope this fix helped! if it did, please leave a comment with just “thanks”. It might download a patch or update to play after you do this because that is probably why it was stuck. Enter it and it should work and log you in correctly. Now open uplay again and it will ask you for your email address and pass again. Once you have unticked the box, select save or ok and close uPlay. Untick this box to tell uPlay to go online. Once in the settings menu of play you will find a small tick box for “Always start uplay in offline mode”. On the login screen where you are asked for your email and password on Uplay there is a small gear. First we need to set uplay back to online.
GO INTO OFFLINE MODE ON STEAM FOR MAC HOW TO
Here I will tell you how to switch it to online. Yes, I know your computer has internet access, but you have uPlay set to offline mode. This does not work, the only solution is the one I cover here. We’ll show you how this is done in this guide.

Some people suggested on the forums to use your username and not your email address. To appear offline, you just need to open Steam client, go to Friends, and set your profile to Offline. I got the error after installing a patch update for Uplay. I wanted to play Far Cry 3, but this answer will work for other games too because its just a way to let you login to Uplay.

I ran that twice (to be sure) and then re-launched the Steam app. I had to re-download the PeerGuardian installer dmg to get the uninstaller. The solution is actually very easy to do, and it took me a long time to find the answer on the Ubisoft forums. FIX: Steam unable to connect - Stuck in Offline mode So after some manic hunting around it seems the fix is to completely uninstall PeerGuardian for OSX. This is how I fixed uPlay and logged in after I got the error of “If this is your first time using Uplay on this computer you need to login at least once before using offline mode”.
