Uplay download help

[Omaeka]

I'm having serious issues on uplay at the minute, Far Cry 3 downloaded fast when I got that but I recently redeemed a Gefore free AC3 code and it added to my library, but as you can see it's going ridiculously slow.

Even now after the downloads been going a while it's stuck at 120kb/s.

Is this normal for Uplay?

It hasn't downloaded a single Mb apparently despite being on download for several minutes at 120kbs...

>uplay

I found your problem

They must have changed it as i havent used it a while. Before it was just a direct download from their site through http so downloaded mega fast.

If it is now done via the platform, i havent used it yet

ps thought u had this game already

 

[Omaeka]

No I haven't got it already.

It's been going for a good 20 minutes now.

'0MB / blah blah'

Wtf.

I'm gonna get onto Uplay support, cheers anyway.

Sorry I must have had a blonde moment when i wrote my last post, corrected it now. What i meant to say, they use to provide a direct download from their support page (your account login) (not main uplay shop) wierd i know. Might be worth a try to see if there a faster way.

I got my key from Play-SC.com and they gave me a link for a zip file, that took about 20mins to d/load and just installed it, all up registered and running, all in an hour. Try the link below and see if that is any better.

I had that downloading ac3 on uplay. Someone said just to pause the download, wait a few seconds then play again and that sorted it for me. Went back up from 120kbps to about 800 which is my max speed

I was downloading it at 4mb a sec with the direct download.

I'm just gonna leave it downloading via Uplay now, it only has 10% (2.5 hours) left. What kind of service is this though?

Use the link to get the software mate, i think it the key part that is important so you can get it pretty much anywhere as long as it a standard format.

Did you try the pause re-start trick?? Worked for me....

 

[Idleman]

You get this downloaded then?

 

[Omaeka]

Did indeed.

Longest download in history though.

Downloading in Uplay can be temperamental.

Sometimes I have no problems and it maxes out my download speeds. Sometimes it randomly pauses my downloads

Steam>uPlay.

My far cry 3 download kept stopping and starting.

they should invest money in there servers instead of emailing me every 5 minutes.

You can download it from 'elsewhere' and it will install into Uplay.

I don't understand why they bother to use this useless software, just let us play the damn game we bought from them. At least steam works for me without problems.

 

[Omaeka]

Can't blame them, Valve take a ton of money for each sale on Steam, why would Ubisoft/EA etc. want to lose out on so much per sale? That being said though, it's be nice if Uplay actually worked. Origin is fine but Uplay...

uplay = absolutely pathetic.

Bad enough with having to register. Don't bother linking to PlayStation account - no point in it for the user whatsoever - you still need to create a totally separate account.
Then there's the download speed... 2.3 kbytes/s

I'm on virgin media with 100 meg speeds.
They expect people to pay for this??

Downloading from elsewhere at 4MB/sec.

I have the same issue, downloading at 250KB on a 120mbit line..
