My man. I have also been fighting with Windows DPI scaling on a 4k TV, and some games wanting to be 300% larger than my screen. I have to go into compatibility settings and tell those games to ignore Windows scaling. Can this tool manage that too?

I need a script to put that into every goddamn game on steam and another to auto refund any game it doesn't work with. I'm tired of dragging out the m+kb from the couch

>in future their games will hook into the **smaller** Ubisoft Connect Services

It’s still a turd sandwich but a smaller one.

A lot of game launchers can already be skipped by putting:

--skip-launcher

In the game properties under steam

Wow, good on Ubisoft. I usually don't trust them, so I *do* wonder if they are trying something shitty, but this seems cool.

They are installing a new package through steam, "Ubisoft Connect Services" and are trialing it alongside Prince of Persia and so I removed both when I saw the download pop up. I'm so done with Ubisoft, triple a in general, and spyware entirely.

So am i finally going to be able to play my games that ive bee locked out of? They wont let me change the password on their shitty launcher because the email tied to it is long dead, and Microsoft wont let me revive it.

Wait, who am i kidding?
