El Reg has an interesting take on the situation. It will be interesting to see how this progresses.

Servers seems to be back up.. It's like playing a sodding MMO!

If 5% of their customers are the ones raising this much of a stink, Lord help us if it ever hits 20%.

PPS: I really believe that 5% number. I really, reall,y really do.

Just started up a new career in SH3. As usual, a great gaming experience!

I bought SH5 this weekend, but never installed it. Kinda glad I did not waste the time.

I hope it gets fixed up soon. But until then, I have some tonnage to sink.

Kapitan_Phillips · 03-08-10, 06:32 PM

lol, smooth Ubi.

Real smooth.

Gammelpreusse · 03-08-10, 06:33 PM

For quite some time now I get the game to fire up, only to have it completly freeze once the save sync screen comes up right before entereing the main menu.

Any workaround for that available?

To be honest, I am not happy. I still think that this specific DRM is a shame and a slap into the face of the honest customer. But I cannot say that I am happy about the fact that others can't play their legally bought game.

We all knew from the start that those without a reliable, always-on connection would be left out. Who could know that Ubisoft would not be able to provide constant service?
Ok, some of us naysayers painted pictures like that but, to be honest again, I wouldn't have thought that the DRM-Service would go down for hours on end.
I thought that you would get an occasional Server Maintenance here and there, but not complete outages for hours.

Of course it's the Hackers fault who attack the Ubi-Servers. Well, what else should Ubi say?
"Sorry guys, we miscalculated the server load" or "Sorry, that DRM was a bad screwup" would certainly be nothing that Ubi would ever say.

I don't know if it's the Hackers or Ubis fault. I just know that honest people paid money for a game they cannot play when they want.

Thx Guys...

It doesn't really suprise me that the server got hacked. With the DRM Ubi is trying to use, they're bound to ruffle some feathers somewhere.

Not saying I condone it, of course. I feel hella sorry for the people who shelled out to buy the game (some even buying upgrades to play it) then have to wade through the bugs and connection issues.

You really do have to question the practicality of a system which is apparently this vulnerable to repeated attack. If they cannot even protect their own authentication servers, how do they expect to defeat pirated copies of the game?

Ships-R-Us · 03-08-10, 06:55 PM

I think Interpol should arrest these attackers. This is International espionage and terrorist by nature.........After a 5 minute, but proper trial they should be hung.....I just don't know in which country the hanging should occur.
