Just a quick question: It seems to me that nowadays when i buy a game it is linked with steam or something similar, each with separate logins. Not to mention things like eve, blizzard launcher, elite dangerous launcher. Is there a piece of software that might act as a central interface. I'm thinking of something that when installed asks me to enter log in details for each client and then auto logs to all on launchers, creating a central interface. Not even counting origin, not sure if that still exists. All these launcher are beginning to drive me insane!

Hello Everyone My computer is getting weird Problems. A Month after i changed to Windows 10 it all started( So i'm not sure if Windows 10 is the Problem). So in the beginning just Rainbow six siege made some trouble. It showed the first Error on the Picture once before starting. i just had to close this message and it was done. Now i need to do this three times. And other programms like dayz, Wild lands, for honor started to do this too. On nvidia geforce experience it is even getting weirder-. At every pc start i get the second error. I can click it away but yeah pretty strange. The funniest fact: You can see on the 3rd part of the image that there is no D: drive Now it is getting even worse. After some pc running time i can't start those programms anymore. If i open them nothing happens. Then i need to restart my pc. After that the error come and i click them away and it works. I know it isn't a total defect but i don't want to restart my pc all the time ;( I already reinstalled windows with a usb disk so this isn't the Problem and i also tried it if disabled overclocks. Thank you for every answer My System: i7 3820, Asus Gtx 970 Strix, Asrock x79 extreme 3, 16Gigs of kongston RAM, Windows 10

my game crashes at startup, it's just like screen become black for a moment and immediately disappear. the app process dead and no crash report. seems like i never run it. i have tried re install, compatibility, administrator, disable ingame overlay and cloud save crap, nothing works. what should i do now?

Hey LTT! I thought i'd start a fun topic for everyone to show of the game library they have on their Steam/Origin/Uplay. This way we can see who has the most awesome #PCMR library of games but can also give people recommendations for unique games you find in someone's library. Maybe this is a way to find your new favorite game? I'll start of with mine! All my games (except CSGO) are stored on an external RAID0 harddrive array with 6TB and the folder currently takes up about 1.14TB In there you'll find a bunch of different games from even more genres. In Steam i have: Origin comes in with these titles And Uplay also has a few Overall this is about 100 Games which i've probably played like 40% of and completed even less lol. All hail GabeN and the Summer Sale! So if you find a game in my list you wanna know more about and i happen to have played it actually then go ahead and ask some Excited to see your guy's libraries as well!

So i played rainbow six siege on a free weekend on uplay, but now i want to buy it but i see its on steam and id rather have it on steam, will my stats and things that ive unlocked on uplay still be there if i buy the game on steam? and if i do buy it on steam will i be able to play with my uplay friends and vice versa?

Hey guys, so recently i noticed some issues with uplay and steam where my steam/uplay looks way tinier as it should be (watch pictures below). Also, whenever I get into the in-game thing (shift+f2 for uplay shift+tab for steam) and i check mymain menu (idk how it is called in english)my files move. I have no clue how to fix it (not really been searching a lot but i am pretty busy). Is there anyone that can help me ?

Hi, What would you think about if Sony released a DRM for playstation exclusive games for Pc. So you can download them like Steam instead of Streaming them like PlaystationNow. An being able to play at 60fps or unlimited! An maybe able to change graphic options... What do you think?

So I bought far cry 4 gold edition a little more than 2 years ago, but have never been able to play it past the prologue. I go through the support multiple times with the same result... them being completely useless and thinking my computer is 100% at fault. The problem I run into is that the game will allow me to play through the prologue but as the screen fades black to transition to the next level it just stay on the black screen, even when left for hours it doesnt change. Now Ubisoft support seems to think that my PC is at fault. When ive tried on over 5 different PCs, each meeting the requirements. When going through all my windows error files none are related to far cry 4 when they insist that a driver incident that I had 3 days ago is the problem with the game when I installed it today. They also like to blame that I run with Integrated and Dedicated GPU at the same time, (I-GPU are for secondary monitors while dedicated is for my main monitor and the one i game on). Any ideas?

What is wrong with Uplay? I've heard many complaints about it yet I don't encounter any issues with it that make Steam any better of a platform. I have the same question for Origin. I've been a PC Gamer since mid 2015 if that says anything.

Hey guys My SSD storage C drive is getting filled up and I want to move applications from my SSD to my 1 TB HDD. What I want to move is a couple games (Titanfall 2 and Mass Effect 2) and I'd like to move Uplay, Origin, and Battle.net over to my Hard Drive from my SSD. If this is possible please reply thanks.

Hey guys so I've been having this issue today where uplay will not download any games, the installation starts and the download is stuck at 0 bytes / 25gb for Rainbow Six Siege, I tried with Rayman origins and had the same issue. I've tried running as administrator, restarting, reinstalling uplay, nothing has worked. Has anyone had any experience with this? Pictures related. ( every other client works fine, steam, origin, etc) Thank you guys in advance. Peace. Rayman - http://prntscr.com/dr9adz Rainbow Six Siege - http://prntscr.com/dr9aoo

i have recently gotten a copy of steep on uplay butwhen i try to start it up it shows a splash screen and then it crashes. i have tried many things like reinstalling it, restarting my computer and checking my drivers. i would be very happy if i actually could play this game that i spent $45 on // thanks

So i was pondering the feasibility of installing all the games I own (GOG, Uplay, Steam, Origins, etc - overall 140+). For obvious reasons - when you just want to play an hour of Serious Sam, or whatever. Plus you can have all your saves current - and backed up at once. Has anyone done this? Of course a fast HDD should be used as a good portion of games are tens of gigs + updates. Am i mistaken? What should one expect?

Hello and have a nice day everyone ! I have been wondering about 1 question these days for playing Far Cry 5 in Coop mode. The question is that is it possible to play in Coop mode when i purchase the game from Ubi-store, have the game installed on my own PC, then using the same Uplay account to log in, download and install the game on another PC (my brother computer as in my case). After that, use a different Uplay account that has not purchased the game yet to log in and play in Coop mode ? If not, are there any other ways ? I tend to do that for me and my brother to play at home. Thanks in advance !

Hey LTT! Okay, so here's the story. I have my UPlay account set up with 2FA using Google Authenticator on my old phone. (Galaxy J3 Prime) I accidentally sat on the phone, bending and completely breaking the screen, so you can't see anything on it and the touch is completely broken. This means that I can't access my Google Authenticator codes. I have a new phone, but UPlay is asking for the codes and I can't get at them, and I lost the backup "recovery" codes that they tell you not to lose. What do I do? Is there a way to extract them from the J3 Prime? The phone is still completely functional except for the screen. It still turns on. Thanks.

My uplay game library doesn't load properly. The game thumbnails don't load in and trying to download a game does nothing. The rest of Uplay seems to be working fine. I also noticed that my account wasn't loading in so I believe it could be something to do with being connected to the internet* *But the store and news tabs work fine Thanks!

after i instaled the driver (417.71) my uplay games starred crashing no stop. when i enter the game it chases at the same place every time, but not ingame place based (only time based)ive tried everything i can think of, please help ...

Hello Everyone, Today I got a new hard drive - a Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM008 2TB, and after transferring everything from my old drive to my new one, it seems that I can't launch any games that are stored on the drive. I have uninstalled Steam and all my games and reinstalled Geometry Dash, CS:GO and Rocket League as tests. CS:GO is installed on my SSD and loads completely fine when I launch it, Geometry Dash also works completely fine, Rocket League though, launches and then 5 seconds later crashes, the same thing also happens to other large games like Battlefield 1 and Rainbow Six Siege. Only the games the are larger than Geometry Dash aren't working and crash after a few seconds, i've also verified integrity of game files and restarted my PC multiple times but it didn't do anything. I made sure that the installation paths are all correct but nothing will work. I appreciate any help from anybody. Thanks in advance. EDIT: THIS HAS BEEN SOLVED - When I was swapping the drive letters, I had to temporarily remove the page file. Just then I remembered that I forgot to recreate it, so when i was trying to launch anything, my system had no page file and everything that needed it would crash because there was insignificant system memory. i made a new page file on my new drive and everything is working perfectly.

Hi everyone, How do I get the game Steep to use my dedicated graphics card? It's only using my integrated gpu and I don't know how to make it use the dedicated one... I'm using an Acer Nitro 5 laptop with ryzen 5 2500u and RX560X.. I checked on other forums and some people also appear to have this problem, but I haven't been able to find a solution.. Any tips? I tried making the .exe file in steamapps/common/steep to run as administrator but that didn't help. Also tried running it from Radeon software, didn't help... I have the latest drivers installed and my laptop is plugged in the wall and battery is set to best performance.. Don't know what else to do..

Which one is better? And which one will run better on my pc Spec: i5 4460, Radeon 460 4gb, 8gb ram Tnx for help

So I noticed that my Uplay download speeds were consistently at 10mbps. They never go above or below that speed, never. This leads me to believe the my internet of 150mbps can support more download speed, but it simply won't. I've run a few test with downloading from different services and they all report the same exact download speeds. The only app that isn't affected is the Microsoft store. That being said, I'm lead to believe this has to do with permissions. I tried running as an admin, but it didn't work. Help pls! I just want to download siege quickly!

UPDATE: They now included a build recommendation as part of a news article/post still related to this post but it isn't found in the same ribbon tab. Illustration below. So it seems like Ubisofts own game launcher now has a "How to build a PC" ribbon tab and it's been there since the 3rd of November 2018... Source: UPLAY itself I for one did not notice it, maybe because I rarely use UPLAY to launch my games. So yay! Ubisoft. The video itself wasn't made by Ubisoft (thank God), it was uploaded by a channel on Youtube called NGON. I think the aim of this was to educate dudes new to PC building or want to try it out (duh). Better yet I think it aims to educate people about buying pre-built and/or trash PCs that are total rip-offs - basically, so people can avoid this - I'm not sure if the "How to build a PC" in the ribbon deserves to be there though... I'm just saying no one would really come back to check it out. Maybe it should be within the 'Games' section like a green button there or something. Comments: Good - It was pretty nice. The dude tried to explain carefully each essential component in a PC and what you need to consider. Slightly meh - He didn't take into account one of the most important things like "set a budget first" - this is gonna bite your ass if you neglect it totally. Technically speaking price doesn't really come into "how to build" but the video itself explains how to pick parts sooo... Low-key stuff - If you watch the video closely, the guy chose a Ryzen CPU and some Sapphire Nitro GPU. Hmm... Too bad there isn't a ribbon tab on the launcher called "How to fix buggy/broken games" EDIT: I don't know why Ubisoft didn't link to their own forums though - https://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/1444233-Building-a-gaming-PC-–-Part-1-Getting-Started EDIT 2: You can watch the video here - UPDATE CONTINUED: Below are UBISOFT's and NGON's PC build recommendation split into categories - ENTRY, MID-RANGE, ULTRA, and ENTHUSIAST - Needless to say there is obviously a huge pricing difference between AMD and intel CPUs as both of intel's motherboard and processors are very expensive compared to AMD's own offerings. Other nitpicks - SSDs are still expensive and only offers performance boost to loading times. Generally, I'd say just put all essential programs in the SSD (500GB is more than enough) and other games in an HDD (2TB is pretty standard) to save up money and space. The 2280 form factor for M.2 drives listed here still depends on the motherboard, no point getting one if your motherboard doesn't even have the slot. Motherboard form factors (in this case mATX & ATX) are generally irrelevant to the performance and sometimes even pricing. Just say the chipset. RAM speed should be like 2800MHz and up or something. What if the guy found a cheaper 3866MHz+ kit. For "Enthusiast" I would still consider the GTX 1070 as a good base for 1440p... to some degree an RX 580 8GB would still do an adequate job. Mid-Range - there's nothing wrong with an RX 570 for 1080p gaming, so perhaps put RX 570 or GTX 1060 3/5/6GB instead? Also maybe put some pricing range, like you would get the "Entry" level system for say $400.

soo.. i got watch dogs 2 by linking my uplay account to epic store for free. i have not downloaded it yet. it appears in my uplay library (with the game key). can i download it directly from uplay (30 gb including high res texture pack) or from epic store (40 gb). apparently downloading it from epic store leads to downloading 22gb of wd2 from uplay again(so a total of 52 gb if i download from epic store). so can i download the game from uplay? if i can... should i download the high res texture pack ( extra 6 gb on 22gb) i have a dual core i5 with hyperthreading and 920m 2gb. i know its bad coz its a old laptop, but still i want to play wd2 as i played wd on this a long time back(even at 30 fps at 1366x728). thanks!

Hello community, i've recently build my very first NAS using FreeNAS and so far everything seems to work as expected. Now though, I want to install my Steam library to it and, well, it dosen't work... I've already been through the main troubleshooting steps (reinstall the game, reboot both the NAS and the PC in various orders, reinstall Steam, check for file integrity and tinker with the firewall settings, which I stopped due to lack of knowledge tho) but it still gives me the same "access denied" error. According to the FreeNAS Web UI everything behaves as normal. Here are all the specs i guess you might need: The NAS is set-up with one pool consisitng of one raidz2 vdev on which i have successfully configured a SMB-share. Windows sees it as a network drive with letter Z: and its fully accessible, read- and writeable (steam installs games to it no problem only when trying to start them the above happens) The NAS and PC are connected via 1gbE with a seperat switch. I also have tried out different launchers (would appreciate your help with those too :D): Epic seems to have similar issues, it installs just fine but cant find the install afterwards. Rockstar crashes on the last bit of the install process (have only tried once tho - GTA V takes me 4 hrs to download). Uplay straight up refuses to download to the Z: drive after choosing it and agreeing to the terms of use. I'll provide further info as needed. I hope you can help me Thanks in advance
