I wonder whether anyone has figured out how to patch Ubisoft games so that Ubisoft Connect/Uplay is not launched, given that the launcher is both unnecessary for many players' purposes as well as preventing a lot of players from playing the game.
Sometimes, games offer config files or allow for modifying the launch script to remove e.g. video intros to a game. Is there any similar option that will allow for playing their games without the launcher?
(BTW, I do own a legit copy and am highly frustrated by the launcher.)
Problem is, whenever I start Assassin's Creed Unity, the launcher is transparent.

I'm sorry for your problem, but I would guess Ubisoft games on Uplay are built from the ground up to work with UPlay, probably at least as a form of DRM but also all social features and stuff.
Like I'm pretty sure for any Ubi game that uses matchmaking, the matchmaking goes trough uplay, and would crash if Uplay is not present. Or in Assassins Creed, all their cash shop (even if I personally hate it) goes through Uplay.
I would highly doubt you can simply remove it and the game to still work.
