For some reason Uplay wants to install Steam even though I have the game on and am running it through Steam. It can't install Steam because Steam is already running. People on the forums are saying it breaks your Steam installation if you let it install.

Yeah, don't try playing the game on Steam yet unless you want all of your Steam poo poo wiped

Reinstalling the game (wether by downloading it again or renaming/moving the folder) supposedly fixes it.

Honestly not upset overall more curious where the hell the normal rainbow guys are. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but book wise I think John Clark retired and Ding Chavez runs the group now. Maybe I'm pulling that out of my rear end? Paging a Tom Clancy sperg to the thread!

Oh for those that were wondering there IS a custom game option now, you have to be level 5 so I can't try it out yet but that should only take a few matches.

Have to agree, this feels like a GOOD mix of twitch and slow paced shooter, i loving love the gunplay (when the hit detection works)

Can confirm that the Harvard map is only in a special terrorist hunt unlocked after beating all 10 situations. It comes with a neat cutscene which kinda makes me want a full campaign.

edit: also put deployable shields near hostages so that the enemy thinks the butt peeking out is an enemy and kills it, kaddion did that and the enemy fell for it, it was loving hysterical

IQ seems to have more armor than it says, every loving time i shot at IQ in the beta she'd scurry off with half health.

Put the second bit in the op because god drat that sounds hilarious.

Anyone else have a problem setting the resolution above 1080p? I have a 1440p monitor but when I try to raise the in-game resolution from 1080p to 1440p it's not working properly (I can't see the whole screen so I can't accept the new settings).

If you have Uplay points from playing other games, you can unlock 200 clancybucks from the Uplay Client as part of the unlockable rewards. Also if you played in the beta you can unlock a fire skin for all your guns. Also you can unlock a 24 hour renown boost which I'm probably gonna burn on a weekend.

I'm playing in 1440p and I'm not having any issues. GTX 980.

I had stuttering earlier despite a stable framerate though. I fixed it by updating to the latest NVIDIA drivers.

Ah, I figured it out. The in-game refresh rate was set to 143.96hz and when I lowered it to 120hz I was able to change the resolution properly. My monitor is saying the game is running at 144hz anyways, hah. :v:

Finished the situations, all stars. So there's a unique skin for finishing the hidden situation. It's for IQ's AUG A2 so gently caress it but hey, it was a pretty easy mission.

I'm playing on PC and the game is forcing me to some sort of controller scheme where I have no mouse and all the prompts are for controller buttons when I don't even have a controller plugged in. I can't even get into the options menu because it's mapped to some trigger button with no way to navigate there.

Is this normal? Can I force it to mouse and keyboard somehow or is this just another Ubisoft thing?

That's not normal. Mouse works fine for everyone else. Also the prompts are for keyboard buttons.

Oh hey, turns out if you have a joystick plugged in at all the game forces you to be in controller mode no matter what. I'm sure that made sense to someone, somewhere at sometime.

I have a 360 controller plugged in and had no such issue, fwiw. Unless you're talking about like, flight sticks, in which case that's a weird bug!
