Ubisoft Connect

[suchy2808]

does this game still require a Ubisoft Connect account? there is no annotation on the game card about requiring publisher software, so I hope it doesn't have one

[tyl0413]

Yes it does

[suchy2808]

shame :/

Another game I didn't buy cause of Ubisoft Connect.

to make sure about Ubisoft Connect I bought the game, downloaded and launched it. I was greeted by a non-skidful ubi login screen on startup, and I returned the game

I would love to have a look at the refund stats for Ubisoft.

UBI makes some of the best CO-OP games period. Wildlands- Breakpoint- Farcry 5 ..........

I find nothing wrong with UBI. I would never buy an UBI game from steam. Why use 2 services?

Yes, sadly

If you buy it from Steam, it gets added to your Ubi Launcher so you don't really have to have Steam to play it after that.

Just want to point out that certain older games did not require that launcher. Then they did.
Some of us old enough to straddle the gap actually lost purchased titles in the process.

I just repurchased a former UPlay title here on Steam [Splinter Cell: Conviction,] after I found it was no longer part of my old 'Ubisoft Connect/nee Uplay' library list.
[It was less than five bucks and I love the game, so I'm barely inconvenienced, but...]

Can you tell us more about the disappearing games issue from Ubisoft Connect? I checked my old UBI account and SC conviction is still there. In March this year I bought SC conviction on steam but returned it because I couldn't run the game without a ubisoft account. I don't use my ubi account anymore, but I wanted to have SCC on steam, especially since this game doesn't use any ubi services.

This (SCC) does use the UbiConnect Launcher, which gives you the option to update/link your old Uplay library. There's a few other weird issues running the game, like an "incompatible operating system" popup warning, but once past that the game runs well.

I'm not sure why, but the two games missing from my Uplay library were this game and Splinter Cell: Blacklist. But also strange is that in the new Connect version, I have two copies of Assassins Creed III and two copies of Assassins Creed: Syndicate...
Maybe the linking didn't work as intended in my case.
