It's a very very minor good point that Ubisoft are touting as their main selling point and "service" of their online drm.

Last time I had to put a CD/DVD into my computer to play a game was 1999.

This thread is full of win.

It's funny how SH4 came out with a NO CD patch.. accidentally if I remember correctly.

I've always wondered if it is such hassle to have the original CD/DVD inserted when
starting up the game.

It's just a minor delay, no big deal to me.

Can somebody explain what difficulties one has experienced needing the CD/DVD for starting up?

In 15 years of PC gaming... exactly none.

Here in South Africa we must pay per MB used not like the rest of the world only paying for their connection We are capped on all connections and our affordable ADSL is only 384kbps and we must pay R70 per gig we use. Wireless is way to unreliable to play games on and also cost 5 times more. This is now the thank that I get for buying all previous Silent Hunter original games....It was hard enough to get the updates of all previous SH's for the games to work properly.

Ubisoft is the same as Microsoft, they want top $ for software but ppl that buy's it must sit with errors and programming bugs. Then your pc must send them fault reports to fix it...why not pay ppl to test the software properly before they sell it like PS3 and other consoles.

Think after this I'll wait for a crack of SH5 to come out and buy the pirated game!!

Hope this is a lesson for Ubisoft, cause not all ppl playing games have Inet connections.
