the DRM is still working - when i disconnect my pc from the internet, it wont launch, if i try and use an incorrect username/password combination it wont work either.

all this seems to be doing is getting the ubisoft game launcher back t sqaure one, it redownloads something from them and authenticates (as confirmed by the logs it generates)

im not here to crack a game or whatever, i dont know how. and if an idiot like me can bypass DRM by deleting a temp file or two.... then their system is truly flawed.


im not here to make trouble. just repeating steps that steam gave me a while back when the client wouldnt update. delete one temporary file so it can start again. thats all i've tried here.

i dont want to cause trouble, and i know, im new here... i do support legitimate purchases - its why i've been going mad after just spending 109.95AUD at ebgames today and not been able to launch the game.
I thought i was the patch but i only had this issue after it updated the ubisoft game launcher automatically.

not here to hurt, just trying to help.
if its not a solution..... then yeah, lets get some feedback from people over a week - yeah didnt work or it did
if its not a solution...can the thread please.

i paid for it, and i know other people here did too. theres a long list of replies to that connection issue thread.... only trying to help

Cheers

This isn't a way to crack or bypass DRM, it's just deleting temp files from the client, if I understand correctly.

Legitimate attempt at fixing the client, trying to force it to update.
I haven't tried it yet though..

Well what the OP suggested was already mentioned here before, to prevent the game from stubbornly trying to synchrone your savegames even if you had it turned off (via the client)

So yeah, forget this, as Firewall says there is always the coffee fix

I am sure you meant to say "you have as much right to post here as I do, regardless of how I am feeling"?

It was probably a typo in your post.

Right?
