Ubistore worst of the bunch?

Ubisoft have a promotion on atm, similar to Epic where you get £10 off a £14 spend. So there are some reasonable deals to be had.

However, their store is an absolute **** show. I've tried both on web browser and through ubi Connect, it keeps not loading the full list of games and lagging out. It even goes to a 404 when accessed via the app clicking their main sale button so you have to go in via the main page.

Trying to filter on the cheap games, sorting price low to high, it just grinds to a halt and doesn't list all the games, despite there being less than 100 to load.

They've somehow managed to make their system worse than it used to be

Steam, Origin, Epic, GOG etc all much better, heck even Microsoft Store isn't this much of a car crash.

Works fine for me on a phone. Thanks for the heads up though - just got Far Cry 3, Far Cry 4 & Far Cry 5 for the grand total of £5.25!

Just tried on my phone, same nonsense. Sort games by low to high price, click show results, scroll down to game list, nothing has happened, it still has a game priced at £17.70 at the top of the list.

It's truly abysmal, like something from 2005.

Not sure about MS Store being better though that's also equally as abysmal. Good luck if an app/game ever freezes during install.

MS Store is annoying for many reasons, ranging from poor download speeds (which is ridiculous as I get full speed for normal downloads from their CDN), compounded by issues where you have to restart downloads and lose progress, to confusing pricing systems around game pass games, to some weird encrypted file format making it harder to move games between windows installations.

But at least it seems capable of displaying the games it has for sale. You are being far too generous, by 2005 we had far better storefronts than this, less images but at least the functionality worked.

To be clear I don't have any major gripes with the uPlay / Connect app when it comes to launching games, but the store is terrible, they've got a big sale on and it's still not working on the most basic of features. Just tried Edge instead of Chrome, still broken.
