A WAY TO PLAY FAR CRY 4 WITHOUT UPLAY?!

[Ruinous]

^^

[General Inaptitude]

I have this problem too; I do NOT want to make use of Uplay. I will either pirate or not purchase the game. Period. Sadly, this means, that, today, I have elected to not purchase Far Cry 4. Because I would be forced to use Uplay. I'd much rather get the cracked version, and I won't be rewarding a publisher that forces this excrement on its paying customers by being one of them today.

then you will not be playing co op or multiplayer

Uplay is the default Digital platform for all newer Ubisoft titles .. even if you buy the game on DVD it uses Uplay and yes Steam = the third party DRM .. not Uplay

since the DVD version does not use steam at all

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


plus if you buy the game on Steam you must buy all your DLC and season pass ON Steam for it to work

Uplay is not a problem if you configure it properly ..just like any other software you install on your system.

make sure you download and Install the updated version of the Uplay client.
https://uplay.ubi.com (click where it says Download Uplay on PC)
(the version that comes with the game may possibly be outdated as they do update it)

open Uplay Activate your game and make sure you write down the Email Address and Password you use to create your Uplay account
(they are case sensitive too so keep that in mind .. when coming up with a password)
again - Write down your Uplay account e mail and Password and store in a safe place!

Remember to check the box that says remember me when you first log in Uplay and you don't have to enter it again.

(your cd key is stored in your steam games library , just right clik on your game and select View cd key to find it )
your Cd key is only good for 1 use ..after you enter it... it will be tied to the Uplay account you activated your game on,
and not be needed again and can not be used again.

next open Uplay ..go to Uplay settings and Disable the cloud save setting (i highly suggest you do this)
as well as Disable the in game overlay if your not gonna use it
(dont worry your saves will be stored on your local hard drive and you can back them up if you need to move to a new pc)
instructions are here https://support.ubi.com/en-US/FAQ/9/3888/how-can-i-manually-back-up-my-save-game/kA030000000enCFCAY

minimize Uplay and launch the game via Steam ...your cd key Window pops up and you select Play

Uplay will then Auto launch when ever you start your game in Steam and you never have to deal with it again

if the master servers do go down for any reason
(yes it happens some times but not that often)
just open Uplay and click on your name and choose offline mode ,
minimize Uplay and launch your game via Steam and play Single player

Try playing when their FC4 server is down and you can't sync your games to the cloud. To say it is annoying would be an understatement.

you need to update your uplay, there servers are never down.

sounds to me like your UBI connect install = corrupted

STEP 1 back up your save files


NEXT ..
..rename your cache folder in Ubi connect software ..and reinstall the client from the Ubi connect website

see this page on how to uninstall and reinstall Ubi connect

I agree that it's senseless to play one game and have to go through steam and uplay, but since uplay is supposed to prevent game theft, I can understand why ubi doesnt want it bypassed.

then they better make a in game menu verification sys that once asks verification and without it u can't play for steam has Valve guard so Uplay is not necessary if anything its stupid for steam version to need both
