I have an idea, can you verify your installation in steam? verify game cache, etc.

I have uplay. Verified it when I first installed it and it was awful D1 but I suppose I can again.

That usually happens with some corrupt file/files its trying to pull. Steam has the problem alot with not the games but how you download 50 gigs. If it can even use the file, it just does something the game can't handle and then you crash and burn. And :filez: are super prone to this.

Well I didn't steal the game if that's what you mean.



But a verify found some missing files so.

Probably. The club search features are kind of terrible right now, but who knows? Even just joining the PS4 club "LLJK" gets you some uPlay points and if the club levels up you get more I guess? I'd like to unlock that 500 uPlay point mission at some point maybe.

Everyone already in got promoted, so maybe you can do stuff too? I dunno.


When I signed up for initiates yesterday it made me level 1 and said I didn't own anything but sometime during the night I leveled up to 11 based on old game achievements. Maybe it only updates once a day or something.

Updated to the latest AMD beta drivers, which said something about improving performance in Unity, but they don't do poo poo. Alas.

So, how come the Edward outfit I unlocked re-locked itself? Went to the trophy room thing in the cafe and looked at it, said I had enough of a level, but that I hadn't collected the chest. This is ignoring the fact that, yes, I loving did, and the chest is gone so it's not like I can recollect it. Has this happened to anyone else?

How do I increase my Initiates level? I have no clue how this is even supposed to work. :saddowns:

It says "Link this game to your Uplay account to keep track of your progress and gain XP" for all of the AC games but I have literally all of those loving games (except Rogue obviously) attached to my uPlay account, so what gives? How do I link them?

From what I can gather, Initiates was at some point a social network portal thing they had going for the AC games, but they shuttered the site for a major overhaul into what it is now some time back. What it is now seems to be part of a new all-AC-game system rollout alongside the new games, but I'm betting not everything is in place yet (There's sections for "Daily challenges" and the like that aren't open yet). Best guess? Give it a few days till they get their act together... and possibly once everyone stops hammering the uPlay network in general trying to get their games running.

None taken - just wanted to clarify that the only russian hackers I'm dealing with are ubis- ahahhah no I can't finish that.

But nah I bought someone's nvidia code for $45 and activated easy on uplay. Just a shame I only opted for a 760 when building my PC. Oh well. Live and learn. Still don't know why borderless windows is so lovely through.

For the few people playing Rogue, does anyone know how to defeat Adewale? He just runs around throwing smoke bombs and basically one hit kills me half the time. Doesn't help that I can't counter him at all.

edit: goddamn. got him by shooting him off a ladder and aerial assassinating him. gently caress yeah

Pretty bummed they took all the obsessive lore stuff out of initiates and turned it into yet another achievement hub. The obsessive lore stuff was why I wanted into the beta in the first place. :(

Like someone earlier said, ac initiates keeps going up and down. Prior to Unity, I was level 15, then the site revamped and I was level 2, then something went wrong and I thought my profile was gone but now it's back and I'm level 22. IDK.

Give Ubisoft a week to get it sorted?

This is the game I imagined as a child wandering around a realistic looking city full of hundreds of people and even the building climbing, I didn't realize how kinda boring it would all be, they need to work on more ways for you to meaningfully interact with the city beyond collecting baubles and killing the dozens of criminals on every corner.

One of my favorite little touches was in Red Dead Redemption - press a button and Marston tips his hat and says hello to whoever he's walking by.

Its more interactive than 90% of open world games, where you're interacting with the world by killing people or running over lightposts.

So the companion app continues to get dumber, so you the difference between hiring a level 14 and level 15 assassin is about 100 points, if a level 14 gets enough xp to level to 15 it cost 500 points to level them. So pretty much just grind the training missions and only buy high level assassin's because leveling them is for suckers.

You need to become an assassin, which is the end of Sequence 2. It's about 45 minutes to an hour.

I'm on a hybrid drive on my PS4. I am at the church where I just discovered the assassin's below... I found the area and then it loaded for like 20 seconds of black screen with the rotating icon.

I think you search for Goonassin. Or maybe the tag SAAC (yes I stole it). I have no loving clue and the first time the virtual keyboard opened in-game it locked my system, good job on the social stuff ubis. I just want a club banner.

I am, I changed my mind to fully sync the missions in the game and I replayed them. The only loading was when I was reloading Paris and it wasn't slower then 5s. Fully recommend an SDD for your games/OS to sit on because the speed is just amazing.

For those playing Rogue, do they address Edward Kenway's end? It feels like a fundamental flaw of the overarching Kenway saga that so many large chunks are stuck in the Expanded Universe novels.
