urfisch · 03-08-10, 01:19 PM

no, they just got the numbers wrong...95% were affected...

and its a shame how this company is lying at the people. its obvious how they fooled all of us...and they dont stop it. we need some legal action to get them on their nuts...

Ubi managament :
well we don´t want to expend a lot of money in servers and service, lets cut the thing a bit the first days and see how works.

After the first week :
Ok , there are problems with the servers, too many connections, but we have the money of the games, people paid for nothing ( devil laugh in the background ) the best is blame the poor connection to hacker attacks , then people can see that pirates and ISP are the origin of all problems , DRM and server brakdowns , no Ubi. ( sinister laugh again)

And if people don´t believe us ?? well don´t worry , we have another excuses like mods, or "we are doing all we can to solve the problem" ( false of course)

Perhaps it is, but what they don't say is 5% of what. 5% of a million players world wide? ten million, a hundred million?

The bigger the #, the larger that 5% crowd gets.

So the solution changes to blocking a residential IP range, and if the attack is coming from multiple locations like this likely did, then they block multiple residential IP ranges.

If the attack is coming from a sizeable botnet they would have to block 60, 70% of all EU traffic.

I'm also getting incorrect username or password can't even access the main Silent Hunter site to request a new password.

Was playing fine yesterday. When are they going to admit how wrong this DRM idea was!!!!!

TheDarkWraith · 03-08-10, 01:34 PM

1st time poster from UK here, User/Pass not valid.
Why oh why did I buy both SHV & AC2 at the weekend. I KNEW I should`ve bought a slab or 2 of beer instead.
Crappy DRM, crappy Ubisoft. Once bitten twice shy from now on.

@141st_Alper :

I mean no disrespect to all the people who forked out their hard earned money, but I'm really laughing my ass off reading these threads. SH5 is really entertaining me even if I didn't buy it (and no, I'm no pirate...

)

To all people saying "this is what you deserve" I think you guys are too harsh. People who bought SH5 were warned by us naysayers well in advance. Since they still bought the game, I'd like to think they had taken this eventuality into account.

Most of the people here are angry because it happened so soon and for so long.

I'm really sad Ubisoft owns the right to the last submarine 'simulation' still actively developed and marketed. But, after this, I don't think there will ever be a SH6, unless on consoles. (and we all know what it means)

Hyfrydle · 03-08-10, 01:41 PM

We need a poll to see just how accurate 95% really is!!!

Hope the save games are ok when this mess is sorted out.
