no issues here, was able to log on and play with no issues this weekend, last night and this morning.

even managed to play from the cottage this weekend using my blackberry as a IP modem. I am really at the limit of the wireless network there.

Well you know it seems as though this is happening to some of us some of the time, but not all the time.

So I have to wonder, if there is many different servers and some are down at times and others that are not. And depending on your location, the servers serving your location may or may not be working.
Just like me last night all was well, and for others it was not. And now this morning, mine's not connecting for love or money but is for others.

I think whats need here as long as this DRM is gonna be etched in stone, is a server status page at UBIsoft so folks who cannot connect can check the staus of the servers and then at least you'll know what end is having trouble. Yours or theirs.

Ok so I decide to give support a call and talked to Brian. I explained what I did this morning having to do a system restore to get back to where things were yesterday before I followed what that fella said about the nvidia drivers and then my video card not being used after installing the 196.21 drivers.

He then said that it is the system restore that has caused this, that it wreaks havoc with the registry, and that I'd need to uninstall SH5, and then make sure no trace of it remains in the UBIsoft install folders.
the reinstall and all should be well.
So when I have time alter I will do this and hopefully can again go back to enjoying SH5.
Keep fingers crossed.
Got to admit that he's probably right, cause this "unable to connect" only occured after that system restore this morning.
