While I have to admit liking some Ubi Games in the past, namely Anno 2070 & 2205, Watch Dogs & AC: Unity I really hate what they do regarding to "Savegames". Me and my wife have some overlap in games we enjoy and lately it becomes more and more difficult to have separate playthroughs. We already use different windows users, but that's not enough, you have to disable "cloud saving" but it usually still "overwrites" other savegames. So usually I just let her finish the game and then completely restart for my playthrough.
Worst offender, though was "The Crew". There didn't seem to be a way to actually restart, or reset progress. And it wasn't even that I wnated to "share" the game with her. It was just me wanting to restart after a few hours, because I had the feeling I rushed/missed something in the beginning.
- chmod775 3y agoThe way cloud saves seem to work on Steam is that there's some folder that is synchronized with the cloud after you close the game. If Ubisoft's thing works the same, then 1. start game 2. delete saves 3. kill game might work.
- omnibrain 3y agoI usually find a way to do it. But with "The Crew" it was different. I think the problem is, that even the "Single Player Mode" is not really single player but some sort of online hybrid thing nobody asked for in a single player racing game.
- jabroni_salad 3y agoOne of the things that sets steam apart is family sharing, so you can share licenses with a spouse or sibling but keep your saves on your own profile. Uplay doesn't have that.
