PC Games for €1 on Ubisoft Website

wallaby72

There's a different PC game available on the ubisoft website for €1 each day for the next 4 days:

http://shop.ubi.com/store/ubiemea/en_IE/home/ThemeID.29373500

Thursday - HAWX2
Friday - From Dust
Saturday - Silenthunter 5
Sunday - Driver San Francisco - Deluxe Edition

These have to be installed through their Uplay application.
There are also other discounts but probably not worth it to be tied in with the Uplay application.

The promo code 10THANKYOU will give you an extra 10c saving.

Played From Dust on Xbox and really enjoyed it.

From Dust is something I have been meaning to get, and at 1 euro, its well worth it.

How do you buy them for the €1 price?
I tried to buy Hawx, via the link above, shows as €1 but when add to cart, jumps to €14.99.

It's now Friday, From Dust is now €1 and Hawx is gone back to original price.

Looks like you were a little late

Thanks OP btw! Going to get Driver on Sunday

vicadd

Thanks lee3155 - I'd spent about half an hour earlier trying to buy and also tried From Dust at the time both were full price. Anyway, missed out as obviously too late and From Dust does now show as €1.
Thanks OP also

Thanks, haven't played Silent Hunter 3 in years, but it was a cracking game.
Very atmospheric when you're trying to torpedo a convey and a load of British destroyers start chasing/hunting you.

It actually took me longer than it should've to realise you have to install this kind of annoying Uplay app!

I haven't tried it, but I'm guessing you might get away with installing the UPlay app, buy & download the game, then uninstall UPlay.

Can you buy now and install on another pc later? Have a new rig being delivered I am bits in a week.

I'm pretty sure you cannot un-install uplay and still play. It's their DRM and you need to be online to play even single player games.
I don't know if there are any legit ways around this - there was war recently when Uplay was down for the weekend and nobody could play their games.

From their Help:

I need to re-install software I purchased as a download.
All download products purchased through the Ubisoft Online Store can be downloaded or re-downloaded for a period of 30 days from the date of purchase. We recommend creating a backup of your download after purchase should you ever need to re-download or re-install.

Although it does also say:

Is the game available offline?
Once purchased it is available on your game page every time you log in to the launcher. In most cases, It is not necessary to have an internet connection (Please note that some games and game modes require an internet connection) If you log in on another computer, you will need a onetime internet connection to build your game collection on the new computer.

Either way, I'm getting a bit fed up of the number of game launchers sitting around my PC, and I wouldn't trust Ubisoft, even for a euro.

Funny thing is i wouldn't think twice getting these if they were on Steam , but UPlay, erm no thanks

beanhead

thanks OP, downloading From Dust now

Seems to be caching the game installer to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\cache\installers\30

If anyone wants to sell their hawx/serial to me...

There are tips on this page for disabling browser plugins that uplay installs.

Here's a summary of what to do:

Firefox:
Tools – Add-ons – Plugins – Disable the Uplay and Uplay PC Hub plugins

Chrome:
Visit about:plugins and disable

Opera:
Settings – Preferences – Advanced – Downloads – Search “Uplay”, delete

Download the application and then log in with your UPlay account. I logged in there and it had Driver in there as well as my copy of Splinter Cell Conviction.

I have Splinter Cell Conviction as well and if I click on the splinter cell shortcut uplay opens and I can play Splinter Cell . If I open uplay from desktop there is no splinter cell and no Driver . I have signed in.

Well then you might be logging in with two different accounts maybe? That's the only reason I can think of that's coming to mind. Honestly dont know. One might be auto logging you in with different info.

Mine showed up as soon as I downloaded the client. Between buying the game and installing the client I got the confirmation email.

MitchKoobski

Have the client installed since friday, got my confirmation email around 3 o clock.

Mine didn't show up online, you have to download the uPlay PC client, then
run the uPlay.exe to see the games and download them.

Was just about to buy Driver, was in the basket and the price went up. Must be working off midnight, European time, rather than Irish time

Yeah, seems like it. They are a french company after all.
