UBI Site - Can't access at all

mattius · 03-13-10, 03:39 PM

Everything about SH5 support seems to be going from bad to worse. What is going on. What on earth are they up to????????

Title says it all. 1522 EST (Atlanta GA USA) and I've just installed SHV. I can't communicate with the server, I can't register for a UBI account, I can't play my new SHV. I have high-speed access to the net, including this forum, and everything else about my specs passed the installation test w/SHV.

Are the $#%&ing UBI servers under a DOS attack, or can I expect this crap to continue off and on indefinitely, I wonder?

Any of you play today?

Oh well, I guess I should have listened to my gut and much of this community and not bought this buggy software until AFTER they removed the DRM. Sure wish I could comment on how good/bad SHV is, but since I can't even get the game to run (since I can't connect to UBI) I can't.

Back to SH3/GWX for me.

Here we go again

I doubt they are under attack, that was simply an excuse. It's either scheduled downtime (World of Subcraft!), or their servers simply cannot cope with the volume of traffic using them. Personally, the latter sounds likely.

Edit: Saturday night, everyone trying to log in and play their games. The system simply can't handle all those logins.

wetwarev7 · 03-13-10, 03:42 PM

This is exactly why we complained about the always online requirement from the start!

I am so ANGRY at Ubisoft right now!!!!

alexradu89 · 03-13-10, 03:43 PM

same here, UBI fails

they can't even keep a website up

subsimlee · 03-13-10, 03:44 PM

The UBI SH5 site is down too!!!!! Can't even *itch on the FORUM!

Fozzy22 · 03-13-10, 03:44 PM

Ubisoft are a JOKE!

skwasjer · 03-13-10, 03:45 PM

WOOT! No game, no forget password page, and no homepage! Ubi FTW!

gum22 · 03-13-10, 03:45 PM

Lovely, ain't it? I have a feeling SHV will be a superb game once UBI gets out of the way with this insane DRM-scheme and lets us actually play it long enough to start fixing it! A few more weeks of these "can't connect" problems though and I fear the SH series is toast. Why buy software you cant ever play?

Time to go to E.B. and get my money back I suppose.........

Nisgeis · 03-13-10, 03:47 PM

Yeah that happened last time there was that DOS attack.

rss0900 · 03-13-10, 03:47 PM

50 bucks and the game you don't really own

weeksatsea · 03-13-10, 03:48 PM

Well you can play if you just browse the "alternative" sources of SH5 .

Frankly Ubisoft can hardly complain if people do this. Total Fail Ubi.
