Good question Heretic. First I read of this issue. Is it possible your firewall or AV is making an issue?

You shouldn't have to even know what a firewall IS to play an offline, single player game.

Every single net/connectivity issue is now flatly Ubi's problem for any owner.

I have heard devs talk about the difficulty of writing for the PC, because every failure on all the myriad PC hardware out there is blamed on THEM, when they have no control of players having curtrent drivers, etc, ad nauseum.

They are right in that case, it's really the USER in most cases that is the problem, not the game.

The current DRM scheme, OTOH, since it forces the user to use an entire element of their system that is entirely unnecessary to the game makes the net the devs (or publisher in this case) problem. If my modem is not set up right, etc, it is a problem for Ubi tech support to fix if it screws with my Ubi game (hypothetical in my case, cause I'll never buy a game with this scheme out of principle---indeed, I'd not install it if it were given to me free).

Call Ubi and have them walk you through making your security settings work, it's their responsibility now.

Hey gutted, let us know if the new patch does anything with this issue.

*edit* Patch readme says:
- Fix a bug when title remains stuck on synchronizing saved games menu

It that what you're seeing?

No problem.

Got ESET Anti-Virus and the game works well (talking about stability here).
