I’ll keep telling this story as long as it remains relevant:

A few years back, I picked up AC: Black Flag in a steam sale but never got around to playing it. Well, recently I’ve been trying to clear my backlog so I decided to install it and give it a play through, because honestly the game seems like it would be right up my alley.

Unfortunately, if you have not played the game on Steam before, there was an update at some point that makes the game unplayable. And I don’t mean it’s lagging, or there are graphical issues, I mean the game won’t fucking launch. It will ask you to log into your Ubisoft account, and then once you do, nothing happens. If you launch the game again… It will ask you to log in to your Ubisoft account. Apparently this is a known issue with no fix. If you’ve previously played the game on the PC you’re using, it will remember some settings and launch. But if it’s your first time? You are SOL.

Thanks Ubisoft!
