yep
Uplay as a built in FPS counter
open Uplay
go to settings by clicking on the 3 lines in the upper left
check the box that says
Display FPS counter in game
you'll see your FPS in the upper left corner when you play your game
Exactly what WID992007 said! :) Here's an image if you'd like to see where the FPS counter is located.

Took awhile to re-find this thread. I've got the "Display FPS ..." checked from first load of the game, and yet have never seen the FPS counter in the upper left corner off the screen, or in any corner of the screen.
Any ideas as to why that might be? Some other setting also must be set? Far Cry Primal is currently being played in the on-line mode. TIA
uninstall Uplay
go to the Uplay web page https://uplay.ubi.com
download Uplay
reinstall it
So basically there's no known reason why the FPS counter should not be displaying? I assume the suggestion of un-/re-installing Uplay is a catch-all of "try this, it might work"?
no i had the same issue ONCE on my back up PC ..uninstalling and re installing the Uplay client Fixed it
so yes i can confirm thats a valid FIX ..as it worked on my Dell machine
you possibly have a corrupted install of the Uplay client , or an out of date one that did not update or install properly .
after reinstalling Uplay check the settings and make sure the in game FPS counter is enabled again
Thanks. Uplay has been installed and updated on my PC for over 3 years, so who knows what the underlining code now looks like ...
Before you uninstall Uplay, open your task manager and check the Processes tab. See if "UbisoftGameLauncher.exe" is running. If it is, end the process, then uninstall and re-download.
Interestingly enough, in Task Manager it's "Uplay.exe *32" which is running when Uplay is fired up.
I have learned via the Ubisoft support center that since FCP is installed under the game launcher folder, it will be deleted if I were uninstall Uplay. The hassle of having to go thru the exercise of not only re-installing Uplay (not major), but any recent Ubisoft games installed under the game launcher (very major) is a non-started for caring if I can view the FPS, or not.
It is beyond belief that Ubisoft recently decided to install games "inside" the client folder, and then design the deleting of said client to also delete any installed games.
Glad I contacted the support center to ask if FCP would also be deleted ...
no you will see a prompt
choose not to remove your games or saves and you should be fine
i'd say back up your save tho to a thumb drive just to be safe
see https://support.ubi.com/en-US/Faqs/D...p-my-save-game
i keep that silly Uplay cloud save sync setting \off on all my machines and do regular backups to a thumb drive anyway
the Uplay cloud save system has proven to be unreliable in the past after all
but no uninstalling uplay should not remove your games .. you'll see a prompt when you use add remove programs
That's great news. Got to wonder why the support center wasn't aware of there being a prompt ...
I've also keep backup saves for all games, so I wasn't worried about that aspect, and also don't use the cloud sync setting either ...
Cool.
UPDATE: Success! After another pass at the UbSC, this time asking them to confirm by example that there wasn't a prompt for removing games/save files when removing Uplay, they responded there was indeed - proving WID to be spot on!
Thanks, and the fps counter indeed now shows on the installed games.
Im really late but thanks Idk why but I have to see my fps to play games.
Hey Hamiltill,
Thanks for confirming that the steps in the thread helped you, but please refrain from necro-ing older threads.
