Hopefully it'll last me the rest of the game, in case the error doesn't resolve itself! But if anyone has any tips or suggestions, I'd really appreciate them as well. I'm really glad I focused on making as much florins/gold as I could, while I was still connected. I don't understand why sometimes we are connected (to whatever it is we need to be connected to) in order to access Investing, and other times we aren't. I even launched the game through Ubisoft Connect client instead of Steam to see if that changed anything, to no avail.

I'm logged into (and 'showing as online') Ubisoft Connect, and when I open my 'UPlay' shortcut it just takes me to Ubisoft Connect client, so I guess they were consolidated? Internet is up and fine, game is open, Steam is open and connected. Well, my game crashed again and this time, when I reconnected I was shown the dread 'You aren't online and need to be to invest' error. It crashed a few times, but I never lost connection to invest. So I kept the game running all the time and checked in occasionally, just in case the connection was lost randomly. I started playing AC:Brotherhood about a week ago, and initially I faced the same error message (You need to be online to invest), but a few days ago it suddenly let me invest.
