Maybe related to these changes, maybe due to something else, I don't know, but a Ubisoft game I have installed through Steam (Far Cry New Dawn) stopped launching for me. I tried verifying game files through Steam (more than once), but that by itself didn't help. What worked however was uninstalling Ubisoft Connect, then verifying game files again through Steam (which sadly installs Ubisoft Connect again), then launching the game (which initiated a Ubisoft Connect update for me). Hope that helps someone.
No such worries with a crack.
Maybe. I've been on both sides. I definitely think that at-launch prices for games like this are often outrageous, but usually some time after launch there are deals with very reasonable prices; lately I try to aim for the latter - both for the better price and for the better software quality (after all the patches and so on).
Yes, but then still crack. I have it in the version i want (mod compatibility) and it often runs better on wine.
