The annoying advertising screen

[Stroggs]

The advertising goes on and on in the game after you go anywhere in the interface during the gameplay. This is unacceptable! Open map - see ad, open inventory - see ad, open character screen - see ad. What the hell? I payed for this game not to see advertising here and there.

I'm completely agree - this is unacceptable crap. You pay for a game and then just get constant ads? I thought Ubisoft were better than this, but obviously not.

The game just went from being great, to basically almost unplayable due to this. Once at the start ok - everytime you try to view a map, save a game, open your inventory etc etc - that is just unacceptable.

Whoever made the decision to do that should be canned.

I haven't rated this game now, but I'l definately give it 1/10 for this, and not buy another game from them. Real pity, because they ruined what was once one of the best games I've ever played.

Hi there,

Please do a full restart of your system, this should stop the advertisement from appearing. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.

Thank you, it helped.

Good to know someone answers here with an advice from ubi, though I imagine that with next games skipping Steam this connection will vanish. And there will be only 4 days of waiting for an answer after a submitted ticket.

Glad to hear it helped! :) Yes we frequent the Steam forums pretty often, and try to get the quickest turn around time we can with assisting the community.

Before I restarted the game, I saw a text saying that i got 200 helix credits. Cant find them now, i got 0 helix credits, but I didnt buy anything.

The 200 you get after completing the game's prologue? Here is a FAQ[support.ubi.com] regarding those. If you are missing Helix credits, that's something our Support team will have to take a look at. Here[support.ubi.com].

well, I found out when you get the credits and simply replayed that moment. Now i got my credits on my account. Looks like when the game gave it to me it didnt syncronize with the ubi servers. ;/

I like how hitting "ESC" a bunch of times to clear out an obviously buggy advertisement that's only been in the very latest patch of the game, makes the game going from being great to an "almost unplayable" 1/10.

Yeah, it's annoying, but good lord, maybe you should just refund it if you can't take the massive mental trauma Ubisoft has inflicted onto you with this buggy advertisement.

That does work, but how to actually have the quest continuation icon or quest choice appear in Archaia ?

My DLC appears, but my son's version isn't there at all and restarting does nothing. He did the last one and still has the "wait for next chapter" quest there with nothing else.

Why does this ♥♥♥♥ happen every time?
