nice to see that ubisoft likes to punish their legitmate customers. It seems that the servers are down today, so of course the game wont load.

So all this changes is: in worst case scenario, the crackers will need to play through the game once to fully crack it.

Congrats UBI, you bought yourself… two days maybe?

You are right. With Ubisoft’s DRM, the games are saved locally exactly as expected. The extra step comes, when you start or exit the game, as at that point the local and remote copies are synchronized.

Once the game session is under way, the files aren’t sent to the server every time ones saves a game.

the game doesnt DL entire missions but small parts of the existing files. it just completes missions files from an un-usable state to a working state. once u pass that mission the DRM changes the files back to an un-useable state again so even when u finish the game after doing ALL the mission, most of the files or all of them are in un-useable state again. u have to log in online so the DRM will make the files useable.

Hahaha. So once again the pirates have the better version- even if it’s not fully cracked, at least you can still play, something that paying customers can’t.

Heh, I was about to post that. UbiDRM sinks deeper still.

Maybe it only needs to download a keyfile to unlock the content. That doesn’t need to be big.

@Spacewalk’s random reply to someone that should have been a standalone comment.

That’s an erroneous metaphor. A correct usage would be: PC Gamer’s now on some kind of fancy electronic paper, but to read it, I have to plug it into a computer that has an always-on Internet connection, if my connection drops, the pages go blank!

What you fail to understand is that people aren’t complaining about not being able to get some online features whilst offline, that’s as foolish as pretty much every other Ubi-supporting comment around here. No, what people are complaining about is that they bought a single-player game that they can’t play unless it’s on a computer which has an always-on Internet connection.

What if the connection is unstable? What if the servers are unstable (there’s evidence that they are)? What if the person is unable to obtain an Internet connection (travelling, switching ISPs, any number of reasons)?

So yes, it’s nothing AT ALL like the RPS comments system, and making that connection shows a total lack of understanding on your part.

This is why gamers get abused so much, they’ve got their heads stuck in the sand, and their reaction to said abuse is: “Please Sir, may I have another?”
