OK, here's my official "I can't f^%#& stand U-Play" thread - the FC4 version

[nexor]

You deserve a kudos for that one D_B  +1  :-X

[Art Blade]

yep. Well done, D_B  :-D +1 :-X

[PZ]

... Uplay stores the info in folder with number assigned to each game. FC4 is 420, go figure...

Probably because FC4 wishes it was as good as FC2.0

Good job, D_B +1 for the general instructions that might help another PC gamer.

[Art Blade]

guys, stop spamming D_B with kudos. He might get spoiled. :-D

[Dweller_Benthos]

My head has swelled with kudo-goodness lol.

But yeah, after reading some forums on how people were having issues exactly like mine and that the Uplay tehcnos were "considering" adding a backup feature, it wasn't really all that hard to do. Some of the instructions I found online for other Uplay games needed registry changes, updating a little bit, then deleting folders, etc, so I'm glad this was actually pretty easy, once I had all the files I needed in one place.

Still, you've earned the kudos D_B. Most people would have said "stuff it" and given up - people like me.

+1 :-X

[Art Blade]

indeed  :)

[Dweller_Benthos]

After paying $60 for it, I wasn't about to let it get the better of me.

Oh man, that's too funny. Seems I'm not the only one to hate on Upay lol

[OWGKID]

I'm glad that you found it funny

Nice find GKID7891 :-X

"The more you pay, the more free goods you will be able to have".

[Art Blade]

yep, nice one, also the "U pay" is great :-D

I Imagine Ubi is getting a really good laugh at the expense of gamers!

"Fixed" Wikipedia's Ubisoft article  >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-() :-() :-() :-() :-()

Used the SAME METHOD as used on my last picture (Paint and Inspect Element)

[Dweller_Benthos]

OH SNAP!


LOL

[Art Blade]

there isn't a topic for it and not worth creating one so I just add this here:

This evening I finished downloading a 600MB update.. happy download, guys. I was thinking about those of you who have a crappy connection. Maybe a good idea for you to brace for impact..

[PZ]

 ??? OMG!!! which game?

[Stiku]

FC4 had a small update yesterday that was around 600mb. (PC version)

patchnotes are where they always are, in the FC4 forums

And here's a more tasteful Ubisoft mock

[OWGKID]

:-X

[Dweller_Benthos]

Yep, that should be the new top level of fail. There is no fail greater than a Ubi Fail.
