I've updated the Mumble details with my new server on the Group, feel free to put it in the OP.

Additionally, for IV we really struggled to get any games organised with goons, UPlay grouping really is a total piece of poo poo. If anyone can think of a better way (Although you're welcome to idle Mumble and do it that way) let me know!

DOUBLE EDIT: Of course, literally the moment I post that edit, Unity and Far Cry 4 got added back on to Steam, soooo...
Not for the Euros! :(

Unity is back on steam (along with FC4 which mysteriously disappeared) so the rumors of uplay exclusivity seem to have been unfounded.

Except in the UK. In the UK, it seems possible/likely one of the 'Retail Partners' (read: the retail chain GAME, almost certainly) is forcing the issue, so none of the Ubisoft releases are back on. So when you say 'unfounded'...

E: It's still on Origin though, so dunno!

Yeah I'll yell at Shockeh and set it up if he doesn't want to, if he's even playing.

I've not bought it yet, because I'm a filthy Euro who can't play yet. I will be doing though, holla holla dispoable dollar. We can always use that one, unless someone want to come up with a better name. :v:

He is the insufferable British guy from AC2-4.

Well, tried to purchase through India as per Savvygamer, but the Checkout isn't having it, and I point-blank am not giving Ubi fifty loving pounds for an AC game, no matter how pretty they've made it. That's not price gouging, that's outright mockery of the people, a blatant 'Hey look you fucks will eat our poo poo no matter what price tag we stick on it, laffo'.

Skipping the Intro Movies!

UPDATED FOR UNITY:

Go to: ..\Steam\steamapps\common\Assassin's Creed Unity\videos

Rename the following files so that they no longer load: (I just put .bak at the end of each filename, this works fine and lets you revert if you screw up)

UbisoftLogo.bk2
pc_TWIMTBP.bk2

Then go into the sub-directory that corresponds to the language you're playing in (for example /en/ for English) and for the same for these files:

warning_disclaimer.bk2
pc_WarningSaving.bk2

Voila, you'll now launch directly to the 'Press Any Key' splash page. Enjoy!

Random thing: I've been playing the last few days using a VPN over Steam, and as of today on the EU release, without a VPN all UPlay Rewards/Actions have vanished. Whaaaaaaa....

Question: Can anyone work out how to disable on the HUD just the blue circle & glow on Arno when you're in a crowd? It's the only element that really annoys me, but I can't see how you can turn it off without turning off the whole HUD.

So if I go and buy a Season Pass now, will I have a get a cheap copy of Far Cry 4?

I think the only one that was genuinely memorable to me (outside of the ACIV Shanties) was the AC:Brotherhood 'Master Assassin' track. I think that's a pretty good track in it's own right.
