I have just managed to get uplay up and running again due to my uplay client having to be deleted and reinstalled due to HD failure.
Once I had downloaded and installed the new client and got back in to the games page I noticed quite a few changes, some I liked some not so much
I will comment below on the plus and minus's of this new front end to uplay
1) The client is faster to load than before and also downloads at a far better rate than it used to
2) The linking of steam to uplay may be for some at least a great idea
3) The layout and icons are clearer than before
4) The titles to each subsection of the client are clear and you know what you are going to see when you select them
5) downloading and installing a game is pretty smooth but needs refining further
Minus points=
1) The colour of the client is not good it needs to have some clarity to it not just a uniform blue maybe have a deeper blue at the top banner and the main panel a pale blue or maybe give the user a panel of various colours to choose from for each section of the client/From say 12 base colours and a slider to make it more or less intense
Also the download page needs to be more informative, giving the user the option to backup files from the menu after a download would be very useful as this is a complicated process of copying a uncompressed folder to another place or hard drive.
2) The store page should show more details about the games on offer as some do not show a price or the text just does not show up at all and your left with just a picture of the game and no other details.
3) You need to give the client an update that allows the loading of preloaded games (ie) that have been installed before from a DVD hardcopy to be loaded from those hard copies instead of having to start a download first, I say this due to FARCRY 3 not letting me reinstall without a 13 gig update being downloaded first which took me almost 13hours on snail net.and yet I had the update on a disc backed up but could not use it.
The client is coming along nice but still needs to be given more attention from those that are developing it before releasing it to users.You will never get a useable client if you keep adding and removing items that players like and are used to, it will just end up looking like a poor version of steam
Hi stray75, not possible in Uplay PC at the moment i'm afraid. Though you can see your cross platform progress on the website.
