share your online/DRM experience

I was wondering if anyone with the game (and internet of course) had any problem playing the game.

In my case, I played about 6+ hours over the past 2 days and had no problems.

The game starts quickly and I had zero interruptions in play.

pretty painless for me so far, but i still dont like it.

Will be secrectly on the lookout for ways to "remove" it, just for principle.

About same. The worst so far is that it just HAS to remind me that it's there every time I start the game.

No connection drops, no problems.

The leaderboard feature, about the only "benefit" of the system, is absolutely ridiculous though. It is full of hackers with billions of tons sunk and very blatant "cracked" account names. So much for "copy protection" working

I hope they crack down on that, at the very least. It's making it all look like a joke.

I hope the DRM goes away but honestly, on a scale of 1 to 10, it's been 0 as far as having any effect of my experience with the game.

LOL yeah i saw that too, but those names are the names you choose for you career i think.

I chose something stupid (and different than my account name), and that "stupid" name showed up on that screen.

How do you switch careers?

I started one to play around with, and another "serious" one. But i can't figure out how to load my initial one. It only shows my current one in the load screens.

No problem neither with OSP.

No problem with saving/loading delay.

OSP appart, it's not really about bugs or stability. The game seems to be missing some very important features, maybe I did not explore enough...

thruster · 02-28-10, 09:50 PM

well, its nice to hear that its not causing much grief so far.

whilst i havnt yet bought the game, my internet connection went thru a typical fail ALL of yesterday. so had i bought it, it would have been useless to me...

so lets get this straight; i have a day off work, i sit down and go "tops, lets go hunting" with my new TypeV11 uboat i just theoretically bought. can i? NO.

typical scenario. sucks to be me, huh.

For the short time I messed around with it I didn't have any problems.

So Far...

The game itself has yet to be ripped. Those accounts are probably hacked accounts, not hacked games.

Gilbou · 03-01-10, 02:17 PM

Game is already ripped.

I just talked with a friend on MSN and he gave me screenshots.
He's playing right now the game and he didn't bought it.

Wanted to play SWAT4 and he's busy tring SH5 he just downloaded.

ddrgn · 03-01-10, 03:14 PM

he is lying

Task Force · 03-01-10, 04:10 PM

Hmm, I dont think so... Bioshock 2 with 3 drms was cracked in the first day...

Ya that's not a cracked game, its a cracked account pretty obvious with the billions of tons sunk. He didn't even play the game, just ****ed around with an account.
