f'n retarded DRM. This is why i dont buy UBI games anymore (SH5 was my last purchase from them).

lol .. gutted, I was in the same boat as you (no pun intended). Once I realized DRM was gone, I happened to load it up on the day the servers were being moved too and didn't know it. I spent a long time trying to figure things out before I realized what they were doing.
What blows me away is that even though we play in offline mode and "enable save game synching" is unchecked, the game STILL goes through the process of appearing to sync the save games. And if you have a lot of save games, that wait before you get to the main menu seems to take an eternity. Keeping your save games to a minimum is the only thing to reduce that, but man, if we're offline, we're offline, so why the need to sync? Just ridiculous. But like kimuraijn says "Has Ubi Done Anything right these days?"
