    Pasing Question

    In "Single Player", do you all find the game moves much smoother than picking "Online". Or is it just preference??

    Thank You.

    Anytime you have Ubi's servers involved there's more chance for nerfed performance, and if using a Uplay copy, even their overlay can do that.

    I never use an "Overlay" because it eats needed resources for the game. I bought the game. Also, what do you mean by using a "Uplay Copy?? I bought it from ubi and downloaded it digitally. No hard copy at all

    Interesting ?

    Two points. There's Uplay on-line/off-line and then there's the main menu option of on-line/off-line.

    I currently, since patch 1.5, have played only with Uplay in off-line mode and the game itself off-line.

    I am not having any issues and find the game running just fine.

    Doesn't answer the ? directly, but I never played the game itself in on-line (i.e., allow co-op) even when I left the Uplay status in on-line mode prior to patch 1.5.

    No, my intent was to find out which format of the two would run better. Kinda a rhetorical question since when I play "Online or Offline", i get the same Great results.....

    I would assume there wouldn't be any difference within the game, until one does-whatever-they-have-to-do, to enter co-op. And of course there's a number of posts surrounding the issue of playing co-op ...
