Ubisoft Masterserver down? (merged)

DocMcJansen · 03-08-10, 09:51 AM

Hi!

I've just tried to play SH5 and the launcher told me that I can't connect to the ubisoft-masterserver. Internet connection is running fine! So am I the only one with this problem?

No problems on my end atm.

These are exactly the kind of issues that us naysayers predicted. You pay $49 for a game that you are restricted in playing due to circumstances beyond your control.

Not buying this game was the correct decision for me. If they never offer an offline version, I'll just forget the whole thing.

It depends on whether you are already connected.

I was stopped playing about an hour ago, then came back and now cannot log on.

Its almost comical :-(

Hi Doc,

some people are reporting a problem connecting. others are not seeing it. I just finished a one hour session this morning, no problems here.

riversswe · 03-08-10, 09:59 AM

I've got the same problem here. Was logged in and playing the game less than an hour ago. Then i took a break to get something to eat, and now i'm unable to login again. Bah! This is soo anoying.

Yeah, just came back from work, wanted to start SH5 and the master servers seem down. Again. Who'd have thought that...

But then the UBI monkeys are at least consistent in failing, since their support pages are down, too.

yep me to, they might get sued if they keep this up.

Turm · 03-08-10, 10:18 AM

I can't connect either. Same error.

At first I thought it was because I already had an open log-in session on their server, due to suffering a CTD about half an hour ago.

Then I tried to visit Subsim and found that Neal had taken the forum temporarily offline. It seemed all too coincidental for a while... the word 'conspiracy' came to mind!

If only there was DRM in the war - Germany wouldn't have even got as far as invading Poland...

Ah... Thanks for clearing that up, Ubisoft. Sounds like you've (verbally) completely minimized the problem. "Return to your homes, everyone! The 'problem' has been contained."

here is the article:

Ubisoft apologises for DRM issues

Monday 8-Mar-2010 2:02 PM PC server was attacked, reveals publisher; One-in-20 users affected

Ubisoft has apologised to PC customers that were 'frozen out' of their games over the weekend due to DRM problems - and blamed a hack of its servers for the issue.

As reported on CVG this morning, gamers found themselves unable to play Assassin's Creed II and Silent Hunter due to the DRM requirement that users' online connection remains unbroken.

Ubisoft said on its official Twitter account today:

'Apologies to anyone who couldn't play ACII or SH5 yesterday. Servers were attacked which limited service from 2:30pm to 9pm Paris time.

'95% of players were not affected, but a small group of players attempting to open a game session did receive denial of service errors.'
