Mandatory installation of ubisoft launcher

what a fun game. what a fun time to just build up a vast empire, of colonies, all synchronized perfectly to each other, and compete with some NPCs for dominance. it was so fun, and it ran well. however, as i was checking to see if my save carried over for when i buy a new pc by opening the game on a different pc this game has become virtually unplayable. after i opened it on the other computer, i decided to play on my current computer and i got a ubisoft notification saying there was a conflict between the cloud file and the local file. ok, that wouldnt be a problem if ubisoft just let steam manage it, but it shouldnt affect me that much, at least i thought. until i get into the game and wait about x5 as long for all three loading screens to get into the game, and when i do things arent loading, theres constant stuttering (especially when i try to do something specific), and even have issues where it loads a completely different world map. now, i will try uninstalling and reinstalling, but regardless i believe that as a video game consumer, someone who spent my money on this game, deserve some sort of stability in my games. and the worst part is, i dont believe this is a problem caused by the game itself, i think this is likely caused by the problems with the ubisoft launcher, because it wasnt until i got that ubisoft notice did i start getting problems. when i buy games on steam, i want them to run through steam.

Yea good game bruv
