OMFG, Ubisoft finally did it

After years of hardcore coding, the pride of the French economy finally did it...

Everything is forgiven now. Even that 30 fps movie experience PR shitstorm.

(not really).

Photoshopped.

30 minutes of extra gameplay,holy hell!

Need steam support before I can forgive them.

I don't get it... is minimizing uplay a good thing ?

Uplay never had minimize to tray option before.

*mind blown*

When I saw close Uplay I thought fora millisecond that they were finally closing it down.

@Elaisse: same. Too bad its just closing the app.

RIP

Glad I'm not the only one. What a let down.

Still no option for Uplay to run on startup. Maybe in 5 years time they will come around to adding that huge upgrade.......

Who the hell wants Uplay running on startup?

If you need it that badly, just put a Uplay shortcut in your Startup folder or add a Task to do it.

Well I'll be shitfaced on Christmas! I now know what edition of Unity I'll be buying. It's great to see that Ubisoft finally added 30 extra minutes of gameplay to the new AC game.

Well usually, the 'X' at the top right of the window means exit the application, it's kinda annoying when you have to right click the toolbar icon to exit the program.

Steam though, steam...

Why would you want to keep it running?

I don't keep any of these clients running when I'm not playing a game that needs one of them.

Why wouldn't I want that option, given that all Ubisoft games have to run through Uplay?

So tired with big publishers making their own version of Steam and shoving it down our throats. Why don't they go open a brick and mortar store - at least we have the option of not going to their crap store!

Yeah I know, way to get our hopes up :(

It's convenient.

I've considered Uplay as okay ever since it started doing Offline Mode correctly. Same goes for Origin. That's the only thing I really care about with regards to these clients.

Now, it would be great if the client closed when I closed the game. None of the three does that.At least Uplay is on a window ready to be closed. The other two hide in the tray.

can uplay and origin just shutdown already

also games for windows live

steam is like the amazon for gaming services

Yeah, it's a good feature. I didn't see it before.

A while back, about a year, Uplay kept updating on me every time I started it up. And everytime it downloaded an update for 5-10mins at 9kb/s or something.

So it's a good feature. Now they should remove the requirement of needing uplay for all ubisoft games next :)

I also thought that...

Now that it can run in the tray I actually leave it running.

I thought this had something to do with Beyond Good and Evil 2 :( .. The only game I want from Ubi after I got bored to death with the rest of their games like AssCreed, Watchdogs, and FarCry which focus on tasks pointed out to you on the map and you just go around doing them and even the tasks aren't fun .. Burn to death Ubi !!!

lol uplay

lol ubisoft

lol ac

Does it take up more of your pc than say steam or origin ?

Just tried that.

Without any client:

Steam:

Origin:

Uplay:

It would appear Uplay is in fact the biggest resource hog, but nothing major really.

Thanks for this !

Alright, so nothing that would impact playing games. Not even if you leave all three running.

Most of the time I let steam run in the background while I close Origin and Uplay after I'm done playing a game on that.

But I think I'll leave Uplay running if I jump back from playing AC4 and other games.
