By the way, welcome aboard!

Perhaps Razark is confused.

So what we have here is a bit of information that makes the game playable offline for legal owners, but does not allow pirates to play? Or did I completely miss the point?

If someone can clarify that, I would be grateful.

I just saw that spammy new post and I have no idea what to make of it, so I deleted my original post, cos I thought it was a workaround for a legal version and as I had DRM probs the other day I was interested in it, but what was posted was ... well, I didn't know what to make of it and changing files in such a way that people who didn't buy... what it could do for pirates I have no idea... oh man I'm not even to try and work it out. That's why I deleted my post, but you were too quick

That new post that's not there any more? I tried to read it, but it seemed a bit ADD. You want me to delete your now missing post I quoted?

Nah, cos then I'd have to delete the post I quoted in response to you and you me and then you...

. It was the ADD-ness about that post that shall not be named that worried me

EDIT: I'll just sit on my hands for ten minutes in future before posting anything.

I only have had one issue on Saturday afternoon, all other times work with no problem. I must be close to one of the AUTH servers, or my cable rocks!

While subsim was down, i found these little gems i wanted to share:

Quote:

It was frightening and yet somehow awe-inspiring to watch them march off of this conceptual cliff with such steadfast confidence. It's like a menacing and Kafkaesque version of the Emperor's New Clothes where all of the people are screaming, "Dude, you are naked!" to the heedless king. The lemming comparison ceases to be adequate. Lemmings go over cliffs because they are oblivious. Ubisoft went over this cliff because they decided that going over a cliff was a now a core part of their business plan.

I struggled with this comic for a long time. I eventually realized I wouldn't be able to make fun of this in any traditional way because Ubisoft was already a joke.

Three reasons Ubisoft's DRM is good

Watch this starting at 3:32
Gabe Newell of valve gives his two cents on piracy, copy protection, and why its not a problem for valve. Ubisoft should take note of this.

All taht said, i think ill write my own review of the game. It may surprise you what i think of the game itself.

...And that is why Valve is EPIC

LISTEN UP UBISOFT! Take care of the customers, make games so damn good no-one will WANT to pirate them and forget this iron-curtain, gestapo crap DRM!

In theory the instructions should apply to both equally, as the root problem is the same: The lack of connection to the OSP server prevents stuff from happening in the game, and with those instructions you can supposedly bypass the limit.

Hmmmm,

I can't give a guarantee that this works only for legal users.

But the UBI-servers do not work for legal users too
