does this uplay garbage need to go on everything ubisoft puts their name on?

[Delthea]

Honestly, it's a ♥♥♥♥ing dumpster fire. Decided to pick this game up while it was on sale, because I heard good things about it.

BUT WAIT. INSTALL OUR DRM TRASH!
Yeah, sure, whatever.
MAKE AN ACCOUNT!
Fine.
SORRY, YOU CAN'T MAKE AN ACCOUNT! CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE
Whatever.

*next day, finally get an account made*
SORRY. YOUR INTERNET IS TOO WEAK. YOU CAN'T PLAY YOUR SINGLE PLAYER GAME WITH BAD INTERNET
Uh.. Sure. I'll play at home, then.

SORRY. SERVER IS DOWN. YOU CAN'T PLAY YOUR *SINGLE PLAYER GAME* WHILE OUR SERVER IS DOWN. HAVE A NICE DAY.

♥♥♥♥ like this is why people pirate games.

I wish I didn't wait so long to try and play this so I could get a refund.

Never experienced anything like that with ubi games I'm sorry about ya

[-=SOF=-WID99]

another i hate uplay post ... yawn

FC4 works perfect here ..has since Nov 18th 2014 ..the day the game shipped on steam

never saw any issue with Uplay not connecting ..unless it was yea during maintenice period

and yep you can indeed play it single player in offline mode for both Uplay and Steam


or user created issue with not having an up do date version of Uplay installed .. or some backround app blocking ports ..or the game itself

by the way in case you did not know ??

1.if you buy the DVD version of the game it has 1 DRM ... UPLAY... no Steam involved

2.if you buy the game on AMAZON it has 1 DRM ... UPLAY.... no Steam involved

3.if you buy it direct from UBISOFT it has 1 DRM .. UPLAY ...no Steam involved

4.if you buy the game on greenman gameing it has 1 DRM .. UPLAY ....no Steam involved

5.if you buy the game on get games go it has 1 DRM ... UPLAY .. no Steam involved

6.if you buy the game on newegg it has 1 DRM ..UPLAY ...no Steam invloved

7.if you buy the game on gamers gate it has 1 DRM ... Uplay ...no Steam involved

if you buy it on Steam your forced into..2 DRM's - Steam + Uplay as your DRM's as both clients must be open to run the game
like it or not they will continue to use Uplay to distribute their games with as it is the default Digital platfom used on Ubisoft "Developed" titles

valve charges a publisher for every thing sold over Steam a % of each sale so thats why they use it , plus it enables them to sell the games at more sites across the internet

steam is also only ONE online store you can get the game from ..and the only one that changes save files \ install locations | to lock you into only buyin DLC ON steam

YAY steam rox ..NOT

[-=SOF=-WID99]

oh i will also add ..when i went to E 3 2017 as a Far Cry 5 Star players last year .. not one other star player i met ...\\ bought or owned the game on steam ...\
\
you can see those people here
https://far-cry.ubisoft.com/game/en-us/news/152-292513-16/far-cry-star-players


just to add more DRM to their game? .. they all used ..yep Uplay only copies .. i asked em why ?.. the reply ..Ubi (uplay only ) is cheaper then steam and has the games on sale more often and cheaper then steam on many sites....... even before (as well as after) the game ships

You type a lot of words to whiteknight an invasive and terrible program, while bashing Steam (on a Steam forum, for some reason?). I will reiterate that it's not Steam that's preventing me from playing their game. It's Ubisoft's irritating and restrictive DRM.

I won't even pretend to know or care what a star player is, but if it's merit based, congratulations. If it's luck based, uh... congratulations, I think? If it's money based, let's hope they see you making more posts like this so you get another invite!

And since you typed "another" uplay post, I'm guessing I'm not the first person to have a problem with this.

So you're Stockholms'd into thinking it's an acceptable (or even good?) thing? Fortunate for you. I'm happy you're not bothered by it. Don't try to sell your ♥♥♥♥ sandwich to me, though.

Meanwhile, I've owned Child of Light for about three years now, and still haven't been able to play it due to similar restrictions. I wouldn't have picked this game up in the first place if I knew it was Ubisoft, and I'll be sure to go out of my way to check the company's logo before making future purchases to avoid getting screwed again.

whatever man ..its worked fine here for years .. just tried to explain to you why they use Uplay for Ubisoft Developed games now ..they do not only sell the games ON STEAM

also as far as any issues you have contact Ubi support for your region
there are many other software programs that can conflict with the game launcher

i found it not restrictive at all .. again all my Uplay games run trouble free ..

if the Uplay master server ever goes off line \ for maintenence i can still play my SP games simply by launching Uplay and select offline mode

dunno anything about child of light
??
?.. i do not have that game .. but i bet Ubi support can help ya get it running ..

you may call me what ever you wish man .. i been gameing probaly longer then your have even been alive ..first PC i built for myself was a commodore Vic 20 ..yes i worked @ commodore at that time in the early 1980's and was allowed to build a PC just for me

been building my own ever since .....

if you hate extra launchers and other game clients... then stick to valve games

belive me i remember having to spend hours trying to get many many games to work with my PC's over the past 30 years ..having to run extra crap like memmemaker ../set IRQ's for sound and IDE cards , certian drivers ..UPGRADE .. do it all again .. then windows issues add in hadware issues .. its not easy to game on PC ..and not for everyone

also since your such a STEAM FAN did you know it had a back door built in it ...............





for years !!!!


that was recently discovered and hopefully fixed
see this page that i just saw on HARDOCP today

https://www.contextis.com/blog/frag-grenade-a-remote-code-execution-vulnerability-in-the-steam-client

uplay ain't so bad just make sure you shut off cloud save settings in Uplay settings and always have the up to date version installed

also make sure your AV software or firewall is not blocking ports the game needs open

again never had a problem with FC 4 that i could not solve on my own , see the tips section man ....for Known software that can cause an issue with FC 4 .. as for child of light
???


i'm sure they have Ubi support pages up for that game ..that you may wish to visit

bottom line Uplay is here to stay on NEW Ubi Developed titles ..as it is the main digital distribution platform used on NEW Ubisoft Developed games..and no they are not gonna get rid of it , as they sell more copies over Uplay then they sell over steam

TLDR. Not interested in your defense of the crap DRM. Sorry.

I can see that others are having similar problems, and there are Level 0 kids like you on the payroll that get paid to scour the internet and defend it.

Unsubscribing from this thread.

Why make a thread like this if you are going to just unsub from it instantly because you know you'll get a ton of negativity?

Uplay /Ubisoft Connect is useless Garbage
It's literally Software Trash
It should never launched in the first place.
