What's wrong with Uplay?

[Guest]

I never have problems with Uplay so I don't know why people moan about it.

[Jerakl]

Everything.

1.The UI. Don't like it. Same with Steam.

2. They gave me a USED key, and never replaced it.

3. It updates ALL THE TIME.

4. Their games are mostly unoptimized.

[Nasirdude3211]

Some reasons are that people dont like have more than one client for games, the layouts maybe. etc...

 

I personally don't care cuz i dont have many ubisoft games.

[rhyseyness]

It's slow and clunky and it's yet ANOTHER place I have to go to play my games.

It's not so much that it causes problems (although it does) but more that it's around for the sole purpose of ubisoft having their own thing, which is completely unnecessary.

They could make their games work standalone, or with steam, but they choose to put their own stupid DRM on it for no reason.

That's why people moan about it, and why everything that's wrong with it is amplified.

Issues + It's not steam = Most people will hate it.

It is potato. I would rather use a console over uplay.

Because every time I pay for a game on launch it takes them a week (exaggeration) to let me redeem it, or to even let you log in, while I get to watch people that bootleg it play it first. Thanks for punishing loyal customers, fags. 

 After launch it's about 50/50 if it'll even let me log in.

Also a lot of games you have to log in to fucking play singleplayer.

Yah, I had to bootleg Hawx 2  to play it offline. I mean I shouldn't have played that game int he first place but that's not the point. 

It's to the point where I feel like I'm punished for paying for their damn games, then punished again for owning AMD gpus. 

Guess they money I pay you is just a number.

I like Origin more than steam doe, cuz steam crashes sometimes and thats pretty annoying

[Jerakl]

One time, it wouldn't let me redeem a game.

Whenever I went to the store page it wouldn't let me leave it because it would keep redirecting me to the main page because it's "redirecting me to the page for my region"

 

IMO the UI Isn't horrible, I like it more than Origin's but hate the rest (more or less) of it.

Origin doesn't get enough credit. Yes, it's not perfect, but neither is Steam.

origin never searched in files or things like that, why are people saying that someties

It exists

 

Means that I have to use yet another program to launch a game, I like all my games to be in steam so that It is easy to just open it, find a game and play

 

Also means another program to add friends too and all that

 

Uplay offline mode is a bit shitty and barely works, 

 

Its also ugly

 

It works fine, and doesnt give any major issues, I just wish I did not have to install ANOTHER program for the few ubi games I want to play

steam is uglier than uplay, steam looks like it was made 10 years ago

Double DRM is enough of a reason to hate it. They should have either taken their games off steam and just sold them on Uplay or not make Uplay a requirement if you bought them on steam. Simple as that.

[Phllips]

Everything.

I was about to say that... i cant think of one thing i like even if steam or origin didn't exist

[Scionyde]

I believe a few years ago, it used to. People rightfully made a big enough fuss about it, and EA took it out, but Origin's reputation hasn't fully recovered.

 

Personally, I'm fine with Origin and Steam. The amount of errors proportional to the number of hours I've spent using each service has pretty much been the same between Origin and Steam. (I think I've had more game crashes with Origin games than Steam games, but I don't think that's the fault of Origin itself). However, I think the Steam storefront is easier to browse through, and the Family Sharing and In-Home Streaming options are nice little bonuses that Origin doesn't have.

Uplay Offers nothing of value to the gamer besides headache.

I see it like this. I dont like having games scattered all over the place. That is the reason I use Steam. I want to have one single library where I keep all my games just within one login. Now when I go to Steam and buy Far Cry 3 for example I expect it to run out of Steam not from another client that installs along with the game for which I have to register again and remember new login information as I hate to have same login for everything and try to keep everything unique. Thats also reason why EA and Ubisoft wont see my money as I dont plan on buying their games because of this one stupid reason I have and I doubt I am the only one. I like freedom of choice and dont like forcing things on me.

We cant help you then....lazy #€%&

people that make different passwords for everything dont write them down for other people to find.

 

i keep all mine in a text file inside a passworded .rar on a seperate (also password protected) partition external harddrive

 

 

 

also uplay sucks cuz double drm, shitty ui, having to have multiple friends lists to play with people, if i lose internet for a brief second, it completely stops saving the game(lost 4 hours of assassins creed cuz i lost internet for less than 10 seconds).

[WereCat]

Why are you so offensive? Its not because I am lazy. I already have over 500 different passwords in my head that are longer than 20 characters and consist of special symbols, numbers, letters, ... I wont store them anywhere in my PC or write them down on sheet of paper just so that anyone can find it. I know that there are programs that can manage your passwords but given the fact that today every program has some backdoor or hole I cant trust them.

Now I have to assign every password to correct login name. It is not easy to remember and adding anothers will just make me a lot more confused if I forget something. That is why I am trying to minimalize need for useles garbage clients. As I mentioned before.. I like having different login information for everything so why should I have 3 gaming clients with 3 different login names and 3 different passwords if I can just have one? And yes.. it is kind of overkill having different logins everywhere but lets say I have same login for Steam as for Origin and someone figures my login information.. I instantly lost access to 2 servicess.

[Dazfeeder]

it always causes my pc to freeze or slow down if downloading big game, think it has some memory leak issues
