The advantage of Uplay is how it gives you access to a complete library of Ubisoft games like Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed, and Call of Juarez. That makes it impossible to start the game unless you go through and install Uplay. You will be asked to activate the product key to start the game. Whether you bought it in a box or digital, Uplay automatically installs in the game, which can feel somewhat invasive. The problem with some games from Ubisoft is how they have made Uplay mandatory with some of the games, which can be annoying. After you install Uplay, you log in and start playing. Polygon has reached out to Ubisoft for additional details on the disabling of certain Uplay services on PC and will update with any new information.Uplay, the PC client from Ubisoft, lets users download, purchase, and play Ubisoft games, and you have a similar experience to the other game platforms like Origin and Steam. "Obtaining untrusted executable files is extremely dangerous and many such files, popular in gaming communities, often contain malicious code designed to steal gaming account login details and other private information which can be traded for money by the perpetrators," McKinnon wrote. Michael McKinnon, a security advisor at AVG, said the crack requires users to download a "potentially malicious executable file" in order to "modify a locally installed file that tricks the UPlay platform into providing a download link and details for the game." "Uplay's PC download service will be unavailable until the problem is fixed however all other Uplay services remain available." "No personal information was compromised," a Ubisoft spokesperson wrote in a statement to Polygon. Ubisoft tells Polygon it is "aware of the issue and are working to resolve it quickly."
Gameplay footage of Blood Dragon leaked last night, following the exploit.
The exploit allowed Uplay users to download other games from Ubisoft and other publishers on the service, not just the unreleased Far Cry 3 spin-off. Users who downloaded an executable that tricked the Uplay platform into providing a download for Blood Dragon were able to access the game's information earlier this week. Publisher Ubisoft says it has disabled the PC game download service for Uplay, its digital distribution and digital rights management service, after an exploit allowed users to download upcoming spin-off Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon weeks early - and for free.
