Patch seems to be on the way...

Ragtag · 03-12-10, 05:22 AM

Works just fine for me.

gutted · 03-12-10, 05:24 AM

I was afraid of that.

java`s revenge · 03-12-10, 05:24 AM

I hope that sh5 doesn`t autoupdate because i have mods installed.

gutted · 03-12-10, 05:42 AM

Welp, it seems im shipwrecked.

After 6 tries, the game just will not get past the "Syncing Save Games" message upon entering the main menu. The 1st five seconds of the menu music is just on a constant loop. It never completes the "Sync" and i have to kill the process to get out of it. I was just playing the game. Exited, Took a break, and then come back and POOF!

For some strange reason I feel happy that I cancelled my pre-order...

That seems to be the problem with this auto update.
Ubisoft know SH5 will depend on mods yet they need to give us a definate date when the autoupdate will happen so that we can uninstall mods.
The jobsworth idiot that came up with this idea should be taken somwhere and buried.
It reminds of the time when I was in the army and officers behind desks would come up with stupid mission orders to justify their existence. I can remember our platoon getting these orders and laughing as we all knew they came from someone who had never been on the ground.

Solved my problem.

I deleted the temporary garbage in:
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\Storage\

Game loads up fine now. Strange.

Start the game and as soon as you see the ubilauncher hit the small button second from the right on the top and disable online save and exit. Rename or backup and del "C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\storage". That should work for the sync issue. At least did for me.

PS: Damn im to slow :/

Just remember that if you turn it off, NEVER turn it on again. It will overwrite/delete your current savegames.

gutted · 03-12-10, 06:43 AM

Turning off the sync feature doesn't work for me (as well as other people).

Regardless of that setting in the launcher, the game still tries to sync for us.

Arclight · 03-12-10, 07:08 AM

The message keeps getting displayed, yes, but I don't think it actually does.

Did that for me, but lost some progress after I switched it back on again.

Ark · 03-18-10, 01:45 PM

Of course there will be a patch/patches. Without them, this game is dead.

Shigawire · 03-19-10, 10:34 AM

Ok. Correction to what I said:

The publisher (NOT the developer) decided on forcing BOTH the short release date and the DRM down their throats. I don't blame UBI Romania. Just the higher up sleazebags who wants to squeeze profits from a demography. We're just a demographic statistic in their accounting.

When the 1.1 update was automatically downloaded, I actually got a prompt along the lines of "Do you want to install this update now?"

Assuming that will happen every time in future, you should have the opportunity to remove your modded files (if you use JSGME for example) before installing it, or perhaps choosing not to install it at all. But then you might find you can't launch the game, who knows?

Arclight · 03-12-10, 09:21 AM

Some people didn't go through that process after patch was auto-downloaded, and were still able to play. It's not like Steam, where you are forced to patch, as far as I know.
