Where are your saved games saved on the PC? I want to back mine up before those crappy servers come back up and delete everything.

I have a feeling once the servers do come up. our online saves are going to be toast.

:rotfl2:

We have our money, there is nothing to be alarmed about!

Sarcasm on/

You can play with these logon credentials:

Login: Toyota
Passwd: the_breaks_dooh

/off

hahaha, good one! :)

funny, I was thinking the same today

Yea, getting this error also.

:rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2: Perfect!

I figure a picture should go with that caption. :rotfl2:

Funny, I couldnt give a rats ass about DRM, or what's right and wrong in this situation. I just want to play the game I just spent 30 quid on. simples. And I'm sure there are many people here who would agree.

I'm so happy I bought this game instead of Napoleon Total war yahhhh... So much for $49.99US

I was just able to login! Woot! :D

Loaded my last savegame and the a window popped up sying that there was a problem with my internet connection and that I may wait or return to the main menue. :damn:

Yeah right, nice try sucker you aint gonna play that game tonight!!!

Hah Hah isnt it nice when a game can pull you in and then say No No No..........

Had the same problem earlier.

This deserves a new Hitler Rant.

+1

I may even have to give it a try this time.

Yes, absolutely their fault. Ubi decision making process:

Is DRM necessary to preserve profits on our product? YES/NO.

YES--> Continue

Can we internally provide a DRM system that will allow paying our customers to use our product at any time they choose? YES/NO.

YES--> Continue

Will this system be robust enough to guarantee that our paying customers will have continued access to our product even under circumstances of unusual stress on the system, possibly from external sources beyond our control? YES/NO.

NO--> Continue???

Its very easy for ubi blame to external attacks the bad running of crappy DRM servers. :nope:

Finally people will give thanks to ubi for play at 70% or 80% of the time despite they paid 100 % of the game :yeah:

If it was a ISP service, electric home power, water supply, or other public services, could end in a court, but not with a game :88)

Yep. When Ubisoft are receiving $50 per copy they can be expected to spend a bit to adequately protect their assets, which includes the servers that figure so prominently in their protection. It's not like a DDoS was not going to happen.

It's about ensuring contingencies. If the problem was caused by a faulty server, would you be here blaming the server manufacturer, or Ubisoft for failing to have adequate contingencies in place? If the power went out in one of Ubisoft's hubs, would you blame the power company, or Ubisoft for failing to have adequate contingencies in place?

In either scenario, the outcome would be the same, just the reason would be different.

So why then quickly blame hackers when they exploit a vulnerability in the Ubisoft servers (and let's be clear, unless you have server logs you're just accepting the PR Ubisoft has spun you)?

Are the hackers now responsible for protecting Ubisoft's servers? Would hackers even be an issue had Ubisoft applied a less draconian copy protection measure? Should legitimate buyers even be caught in the crossfire of Ubisoft vs Pirates? Ubisoft invited us all to that party, not the pirates.

Obviously DRM/OSP has failed because hackers can exploit system vulnerabilities. Full stop. InstaFail.

well thats weird.

but i solved it this way:

i have registered to the official ubi forums with login credentials "A".

I registered the game using login credentials "B".

Playing game with "B" worked until the downtimes. After that i got the same message, wrong password.

I logged in with my credentials "A" and it worked. I guess they somehow merged the accounts without telling the users something about it.

:down:
