Default Down Again

A shame but my interest in Sh5 is slowly but surely disapearing, been trying to flash her up for over an hour now, and guess what server seems down yet again. Didnt want to post on this drm crap again but hell here we go, wondered if anyone else is having problems here, my launcher updated itself and now just keeps ticking away saying check your internet connection, requies a connection to continue, well my connection is fine, come on ubi sort your S*IT out.

Sweden too.

As i said in my other omigoddownagain thread, it would have been barely barely acceptable if it was ONLY down the first day of release.

But FOUR times?
This is bs. Is this gonna keep happening all the time? This isnt an MMO, where you accept an EULA that says "we reserve the right for unexpected downtime" etc.
This is almost cause for compensation, because i didnt accept nor sign any text that stated that they could take down their servers randomly, i just bought the game and was told that i had to be online to play.
I'm online, and i cant play for the 4th time.

Gimme my money back
This game will only become great because of you modders anyway (just like the Total War games), so i actually wish i hadnt paid for it, but rather waited for a you-know-what.

Hate to gloat but glad I have a job during these 'outages'

I have only been unable to log in one time so far... just lucky I guess.

Poor UBIsoft having to deal with nerd rage.

It really sucks doesn't it? SHV is a great game but it's looking more and more like it will be remembered for one thing only.

Looks like it's down world wide. Well, tried the DRM and i'll stay a loooong way from games using this in the future.

I feel for you guys.. I also feel a bit of a w**ker for ordering it too. Its due tomorrow.

I'm seriuously going to look at "bypassing" the DRM

EA tried a nasty DRM for a period and soon stoped putting it on their newer games.

I do believe they will drop it eventually.
Also if its consistantly down I do believe there is a European consumer law regarding services..and the provioder not delivering thir part. I know there definatly is in the UK. Just too lazy to look it up.

Is anyone here kave good knowledge the law?
e.g Laywer/soliciter or Police Officer?
