this is uplay support for you :cfacepalm:
seriously, chance its graphics cards, but gotta wonder if they cant do anything?
and if they cant why dont they say so?

And what exactly does that have to do with Uplay in particular? Nothing, of course.

And this is exactly why your silly boycott won't work, because it's based on rubbish and prejudices.

you made us all very sad.

o.o farcry is made via ubisoft no?, which uplay is ran via ubisoft.
simple as that.

to go further it shows you the kinda support you get with uplay when you have a problem with a game, as ive read many people who have said uplays support was little help with there problems.

so dont try to dismiss everything so easily, just because you miss the meaning.

[Regulus]

Even EA of all people have made their Origin into something usable. Uplay was ♥♥♥♥♥ and it stayed ♥♥♥♥♥.

You're reaching. The people responsible for the compatibility of the new Far Cry with various GPUs are certainly not the same people who maintain Uplay. Moreover, just because some random dude isn't getting a personalized response from game developers doesn't mean anything.

Arguments like yours show just how desperately weak your case against Uplay is.

One good thing about this game is that you don't have to actually play it to experience the game. The game should play again as a South Park episode so you can just watch a gameplay streeam/vdeo of it and still enjoy all the humour and story without buying it.

your kinda funny you know that? if you had read earlier on you would have read im not really boycotting uplay, so your seriously assuming im a boycotter.

also, uplay and ubisoft are ran by the same company.
so when you get less quality from one of there divisions it reflects on the whole company.
as they should atleast try to help people with the problems, and if they dont know whats wrong or how to fix it, then they need to do more research on the problem as theres bound to be more who appear with the same problem.

which im done talking to you, as im no debater, and this will become rather pointless as your soley trying to discredit everything i say, and take jabs at me, so have fun finding a new target

very true, since the storyline and jokes are one of the largest reasons people will be playing the game.

I didn't read the whole thread, but there's a point a lot of you miss...

Uplay and Steam are basically the same service. If I buy a game through Uplay, it shouldn't require Steam. If I buy a game through Steam, it shouldn't require Uplay.

Requiring me to install an additional program (when there is no justification to do so) just to play a game is a great example of bloatware.

This is nothing but a stunt by Ubisoft to make Uplay's statistics look better.

The bottom line is that if a company doesn't want to use Steam for DRM and updates... then I don't see why they would sell their game on Steam.

They put it on Steam because it has the largest subscriber base. Steam is the best place to sell your game if it you want it seen, sold, popularized.

...And if publishers don't/wouldn't want Steam customers to complain about a product before it is even released they should remove the Double DRM requirement. I don't care that the two services can link. I don't want the other service's whistles and bells & legal terms. Everything you said is true but there's no good reason to include another service's launcher. If I wanted UPlay I would have purchased the title from UPlay.

Some post ago someone said that publishers were the problem so Gabe/VALVe invented Steam. Uplay is an Ubisoft digital distribution platform and DRM system. The ptoblem is that Ubisoft isn't solving any problem with UPlay. They are creating a problem ...and the problem they are creating is shinning a light as to why publishers ARE a problem. Their greed & necessity to push their platform is creeping back into the forefront of public opinion in a negative way. If UPlay instead became an open system where I could chose WHERE I wanted to purchase a title then we'd have a different arguement about which platform is better. But all we can ask for, now, at a minimum is to decouple the two systems to give competition a chance. But even if the two systems were decoupled, Ubisoft's greed would dictate that their title would not be allowed on another platform.

Oh yes you know so much about me like how i wasnt born until after 1990 yet my first PC was a TI 99 in i got in late 81 or early 82. You aslo ttell me hoow the DRM i menttioned is wrong yet i still have Wing Commander and its manual.

https://youtu.be/HjEbpMgiL7U?t=4m31s

https://i.imgur.com/jSjhcLt.png?1

I also had a Comador 64 and my first Windows/Dos PC was a Packard Bell 486 SX 5 MHZ with 4MB of RAM that i paid 2000 for and this was before the internext was a thing.

Later on i was able to add a modem and used collage networks to get online to wrold wide BBS boards.

Your line "The funny thing is i have come to accept it and for the most part Steam works, guess what so does Uplay even better because it does even less. Yet here you are you argue, yourself..."

Ok that is a mess im guessing your TRYING to say that Uplay is less evasive than Steam. If that is the case you would be very wrong because i have never played a game that just uses Steam for protection and have it cut out because of a problem with someones server short of a hosted game.

If i am playing Xenonaugths and Valve explodes into a fireball sending servers in all directions for miles my game does not crash and any game on my HDD i can play for as long as i want while there are no servers.

Uplay servers keep me from playing games and all they offer in return is the ablility to unlock items that were removed from the game to give Uplay a percived value.

If Ubisoft had its games Uplay exculsive for six months before going to other places like Steam or GoG without having to log into Uplay i would have ZERO problem with that.

Ubi would get most of its sales though Uplay and keep the extra profits then in six months get another surge of money when it hits Steam and others.

I know some people whould hate having to wait but i dont care about waiting as long as i can play the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game when i want to after i buy it.

Are you seriuously arguing over who's older? Crying about uplay is foolish enough as it is. I'd tell you not to go full ♥♥♥♥♥♥, but sadly it appears you were born that way.

You've seem to miss what's being said.
* He isn't arguing who's older. He stating facts of his life to add some credibility in his experiences as to how the industry has changed over the decades.
* He isn't crying about UPlay either. He's offering some comparitive facts and constructive criticism about the two platforms.

Unlike PhoenixKnight though, your post added no useful information to the discussion because it is lacking facts as well as constructive criticism. To sum it up it is just an opinion and s ome eye rolling. So I'd recommend to you to find something worth while to add to the discussion like your opinion (based in some kind of fact) as to why UPlay is value add to a Steam title. Because to be perfectly honest, I agree with PhoenixKnight in regards to Ubisoft holding a title for a few months from a platform if that means the platform won't get any Double DRM or separate identity collection. That's because I hold the opionion of not supporting any double DRM. and if I want the title bad enough I'll buy it from the source, UPlay, and not make Steam be the 2nd DRM. So how about you. Where are you going to buy it from and why?

just thought id share this, as EA lately has mainly release drm games correct?
well finnaly they are allowing there games to be sold drm free
hopefully someday uplay follows the same note.

[PheonixKnight]

That is a great move by EA i hope they do that with newer games as well.
