Ubisoft Masterserver down? (merged) - Page 28

Ducimus · 03-14-10, 03:06 PM

The thought just hit me that being down one day on the weekend could become the norm, until Ubi better protects their servers, upgrades their servers to better handle the load, or the DRM is removed. Whchever comes first. *shrug*

I just tried logging into Ubi's forum to post a message about the servers being down - again. It took forever to load the login screen, and when I was finally able to enter my credentials it said "You alre already logged into the Ubi servers" or words to that effect. WTF?

I haven't tried logging into their website for months, so I can only assume it was my u/n and p/w used with the SH5 launcher app. (?)

I then couldn't post as the message box never loaded! Unbelievably bad service all round!

Come on Ubi, sort this out!

DRM already had a bad name.

This is just showing those who didn't realize it the truth.

While I feel sorry for those unable to play (though you were warned), I have to admit, I cannot stop laughing at Ubi. They implement a system which they are unable to support, then blame the pirates/hackers (big surprise). Talk about incompetence!

I doubt this is going to be resolved any time soon, that is unless they remove the OSP, which given their arrogance, is probably unlikely.

Still down for me

People DOS the Ubisoft DRM servers are not pirates.

They are freedom fighters.

Resistance.

They are doing what is right. Fighting.

Those on the other side will call them terrorists, pirates, whatever.

Resistanza !

I think they meant 5% was UNaffected.

Well, my game dropped out a short time ago with a CTD, and now I get the bad username/password nonsense.

So I come here to check it's not just me (I thought it may be an open log-in session that needed to time-out on the server), but no, I see problems all round again.

It seems the only time I get a CTD is when the server collapses, which makes it even more annoying! It should pause and save, as is supposed to happen if the connection drops. Instead, it just dies and I lose all progress since the last autosave.

I'd literally just hit a ship with my last torpedo as well

Anyway, I dropped out with the CTD at 20:00 GMT (my torpedo hit at 19:59 because I made a screenshot, lol), but have been playing all evening up until that point.

I could even cope with the periods of not being able to play due to DoS attacks and other outages that are hard to 'plan for', but at least make the autosave system work properly!!!!

EDIT: Managed to get back in at 20:20 (though savegames could not synchronise), but I decided to quit instead of carrying on playing for now.

WTF

Bugs? I can live with till they get fixed
Shoddy game mechanics? Only a matter of time before our exellent modders fix that.
DRM not letting me play on the only day Ive had free in 2 weeks? DEAL BREAKER!!

WTF was UBI thinking. After SH4 this just adds insult to injury. They are apparently just trying to kill this genre. Methinks this is the last UBI game I buy if they are going to insist on putting out half finished, buggy games that cant be played because thier damn servers are down.

Hey I am back "on-line". Lets see for how long.

Germany (GMT+1) 21:25

pythos · 03-14-10, 03:27 PM

Deimos01 if Ubisoft is trying to kill anything, it is themselves. Did you not see that Assains creed is also going through this nonsense? That is a console game, a heavy hitter when it comes to profit for UBI.

Ubi got sold a load of goods with this scheme. Pure and simple.
