is there anywhere you can get the key from that is steam rather than uplay? I've been locked out of my uplay account due to 2 step verification, as I got a new phone and the google authenticator doesn't have the uplay thing on it, so I can't even log into ubisoft through a browser!! shocking way to implement security!

you can ring their customer services up and get rid of it they ask a load of questions send an email to you etc

thanks I actually got them to unlock it in the end, but I ended up getting it from steam as I hate uplay!! Also with steam I can move games to and from my SSD with ease so it's better for me, even though it's £10 more!!

Proper umming and erring here. Worth the 40 quid for standard edition? I'll probably play it exclusively single player.

I ran a benchmark on the 18.3.1 drivers and then again with the 18.3.4 game ready drivers. Max FPS increased from 83 to 93 and the average from 71 to 75 FPS. Quite please with that increase! Tested at 3440x1440 resolution and with my liquid cooled Vega 64 slightly overclocked; +50% power - States 6 & 7 at 1702Mhz, 1150mV and 1752MHz, 1215mV - HBM at 1075Mhz.

Been playing for 4 or 5 hours, yes definitely worth it. I'm enjoying it a lot more than the previous few releases of the Far Cry series. 8/10 so far.

I'm easily convinced after AC : Origins and although I have not yet completed that, I've managed to plough 45 hours in to it. dl'ing! Ta!
Most Ubisoft games on Steam just launch Uplay anyway?
Also can you have multiple saves or characters on this? I'd like to play but my son likely would too
Caporegime
Yeah still needs Uplay, its why i never bother with any Ubi games, or EA ones (Origin), got Steam, should be able to get them all on the one platform, without needing all these other ones as well.

Dam the built in Benchmark is so dam good! Its so consistent you can easy use this for pushing out more performance on a GPU.

The respawn mechanic in this is really ruining the game for me now and I've even just rage quit because of it! Enemies/mission items/vehicles randomly spawning or despawning right in front of my face if I pause the game or enter the menu! Gonna leave the game for a bit now until a patch sorts this mess out.
Soldato
How can people refuse to play the game due to Uplay? You have to look at it for all of 5 seconds while the game loads.
Weird.
Weird.

Only just managed to get out of the initial intro missions, taking my time and soaking up the game. Enjoying it so far. For people mentioning the respawning enemies, i remember they had a similar criticism of Farcry2 with the outposts respawning, havent come across that much myself so far but im very early days yet. Think this will soak up a good few hours of my easter hols 
BTW at the start i found this bit quite funny for a Ubisoft game

Climbing that first radio tower and the NPC says over the radio "Dont worry im not gonna make you climb these things all the time"
Bought it for 48 euros on uplay. Insane price, I am used to buying games even new for around 30-35, but...I wanted to play it.
And after first hour, it seems pretty good. I have some misgivings (stupid car chase, silent protagonist), but it runs well, looks nice, setting is beautiful and gameplay enjoyable so far.

Game is definitely upto Ubisoft bugtastic standards I've got no doubts we'll see it patched up nicely though as FarCry 4 I finished last week was bug free and robust during alt+tabs.
So far I've seen enemy npcs spawn before my eyes as well as vehicles on the roads. I've also seen a lot of wildlife fall into the ground (those deers) so I can just see the tips of their antlers poking out of the ground.
Lastly I've seen something I've not seen in a game in years - multicoloured rainbow textures on parts of the ingame map and some surrounding terrain around my character.

Made me giggle to
Loving it so far, haven't come across any bugs as of yet (other than a enemy running over his own mate lol).
Soldato
Love this game theres so much to do. Well worth every penny
Soldato
The setting is perfect imo, can we all just take a second also to appreciate the soundtrack in the game.
