Ubisoft: Steam version of "Assassin's Creed: Shadow" does not require Ubisoft Launcher

　　According to the official FAQ of "Assassin's Creed: Shadow" released by Ubisoft in February this year, the 15th question asked Ubisoft whether Ubisoft's "Assassin's Creed: Shadow" needs to install Ubisoft's own Connect launcher, and Ubisoft's official answer was denied.

　　Q: If we buy games on Steam, do we still need a Ubisoft launcher?

　　Ubisoft Connect Team: Starting games through Steam does not require you to download and install the Ubisoft Connect launcher, because the Steam installation package already contains a lightweight embedded version. You just need to bind your Ubisoft Connect account to Steam.

　　Because Assassin's Creed: Shadow supports cross-platform archives and cross-platform progress features, binding your Ubisoft Connect account allows us to provide you with a seamless gaming experience no matter where you play. With Ubisoft Connect, you can also participate in our Global Loyalty Program, unlocking rewards and exclusive discounts, including pre-orders and newly released games.

For users who do not have a Ubisoft Connect account, you can easily create an account and bind it to your Steam account when you first launch the game. This one-time setting ensures that you don't need to log in again later.

Other questions

Q: Is there any dynamic weather? How deep is the new dynamic weather/season system?

　　A: Yes, yes. There are dynamic weather and seasonal systems in the game that will affect different gameplay aspects in your gaming experience. Let's look at a few examples.

　First of all, it will affect your stealth penetration. When it rains, the sound of rain will cover up your footsteps, so you can move without being easily heard. It will also change the enemy's patrol pattern, as enemies with higher social status will hide under the eaves to shelter from the rain.

　　The impact of seasons is even greater, such as certain shrubs and vegetation will disappear completely in winter. Agriculture will change with different seasons, creating new hiding points, and snow will slow down Naojiang, but will not affect Yasuo.

　　Finally, icicles on the eaves may fall, creating noise interference that the enemy will hear and react to.

　　These are just a few examples of how weather affects gameplay, giving you more opportunities to experience different game scenes.

　　Q: Does the game have a built-in Benchmark running score tool?

　　A: Yes! The game does have in-game benchmarks for testing and tuning scalability parameters. In addition, performance coverage can be activated directly in the game to view performance metrics such as FPS and GPU utilization, etc.
