Ubisoft Masterserver down? (merged)

oscar19681 · 03-14-10, 01:57 PM

I,m wondering how long ity will take before i can play again. tommorow i have the day off. But i can only imagine the anger most people have because tommorow they must work again. I really dont think the game will be playable before tommorow. I though starforce was bad , but at least some time later you could mail them with the key-code and they would return a mail with a code to turn off the key-code so you could play. But DRM is so ****ed up i cant help be amazed but the brutality UBI has not adressing the problem and not even putting out something official regarding the problem at all.

Indeed. We play such games to relax and enjoy a bit of escapism. Being tied to a server as with this DRM system takes the fun and freedom out of it.

Ubisoft's contantly online system is giving DRM a bad name.

DRM already had a bad name.

This is just showing those who didn't realize it the truth.

Yes at least have a dedicated forum or place where we could report problems like this. How are they ever gonna find out we are having problems with logging in? Or must we pay even more money to make a phone call to report this? If so then i must confess is a great way to suck the money out of our pockets!

Look here www.ubi.com

So let's stay calm for a while a see what happens, maybe they're actually trying to fix the problems once and for all, as we speak...there's still hope

How dumb can Ubi be? Maintenance on a weekend, seriously?
When most people play.

Well I'm new to sub sims. My first was Wolves of the Pacific. I bought this game despite reservations about the copy protection and have been unable to run it like the rest of you.. For awhile I thought it was just me. At least I'm in good comany.

Exactly, right after I posted several pages ago before I called TS, I tried one more time just to make sure. Got the incorrect username/password thing once, then clicked OK and got the bigger window about registering, showing that im already set to log in. Cliked the big blue round arrow button to try again and then it launched the game just fine and I been running it for the last hour.
And in the time I've been playing, there are now what, 4- 5 more pages of posts here now.
And, I was only unable to log in and play for a total of 30 minutes. So thats 30min. unability to play for the entire week.
