Uplay 4.0 infused with Twitch video streaming, automatic patching

If you've played any Ubisoft game on the PC, chances are you've encountered Ubisoft's online service known as Uplay . Experiences with the service have ranged from “fine” to “argh,” though Ubisoft is hoping to make the experience a bit better with its upgrade to Uplay 4.0.

Certain publishers have stood against livestreams of their games, though more and more of them are reversing that policy . Ubisoft's relationship with the PC community has been rocky at times , so it's nice to see it moving in this direction.

Aside from Twitch support, the new version of Uplay is also getting a supposedly better download manager and support for automatic updates. I haven't run into any issues with Uplay personally, but I certainly know others who have . We'll find out if this latest version of Uplay fixes those issues when the update releases sometime this October.
