asgs112756yWhy the fuck all the games are to be reinstalled if the launcher is removed? Isn't the launcher only meant to launch the games?

deliwa3226yOn some note, detailed error is better than "oops, something happened", at least it gives me options on what happened, but useless for the average user.

Were I a senior developer @ Ubisoft I'd send the person who wrote this to sleep with the fishes -
@FuckJava In the traditional cement shoes? Or you'd innovate and make him hold on to all his lazy code in hard copy, along with his computer? :)

Pickman6526yBest part is that the saved games are not uninstalled. It's the worst of the two worlds. You waste the user's time by having him reinstall everything and you waste his HD space in case he meant to uninstall everything.
Sure... He could keep his saves... If only the new locations are the same. But there's no assurance of that. -
stisch46036yPatching software is definitely a challenge.. but man, Ubisoft has some clams don't they? They can afford to wrestle with the big problems.
