And one other thing, this like so many other reports of this sort of thing may not be UBI's servers at all. There's always the internet itself, and all the many many networks that all this info has to go through.

But then I suppose that is one more reason the DRM system is a bad thing in the end. It's dependent on someting that history has proven is sometimes quite unreliable, and full of complication and glitches.

Ok nuff said, im going back out to sea, where there seems to be less war going on, and it's much more peaceful and quiet.

I was back in after some 30 minutes too, now everything is fine. Ubisoft said the servers are monitored 24/7, and I believe when this happens they are actually working on them. Hopefully for the better.

But I heard the servers are located in France, and that's not exactly a good thing for you guys in the US. You always end up last in line

I've a confession to make:

It was me.
I wanted to check if the UBI server was on line, so I did send one ping
to their server.

Immediately after doing so, messages like this one showed up at ubi's forum and here at subsim.

I wasn't aware that I was causing a problem for that server.
I wont do it ever again, I swear.


Peace my friends.

Thanks we need that round here.

Well yep, it does seem to be that when it comes to customers that no matter what ya do, they'll find some way to be unhappy with ya.
Just ask any waitress.


Hmmmm, actually I think I may know what it was now. Someone was busy trying to set the server's clock forward an hour, or they forgot to do it at all. Heck I forgot to that myself today.

I sure hope they didn't forget anything and intentionally left the clocks untouched. In EU, also known the home of the mighty Ubisoft and their servers, we are still almost two weeks away from the shift.
