The most ridicolous thing is, that pirate version works without internet connection, and probably works fine, while we who bought the original game, cant play it. It used to be vice versa before this idiotic DRM system.

Maybe some negative feedback from the distributors will get Ubi's attention (doubt it) Will buy it back when DRM is gone for good...

Problems for me as well tonight even when I manage to get into the game the save won't load. This is getting worse as time passes. What makes it worse I played all day yesterday and I' really getting into the game.

netherlands down, btw the pirate version doesnt work. Dunno how many times ppl are telling us "get the cracked version".

You cant play the campaign, the internet is full of that info.

So, i hope the servers are busy and back online soon....(maybe with some freaking patch lol)

Same here (incorrect user/pass). Maybe a DDOS attack again (that is: if they weren´t lying last weekend). Which is hardly an excuse since it is ubi´s responsibility to protect there servers against things like that.

BTW: the pirated version doesn´t really work: those guys have to alt+tab out of the game and edit their savegames after every mission to make the game believe they actually completed it.
So the question is what is more annoying: doing this or not being able to play because of DRM. Certenly it is much more unjust when we who bought it are not able to play

I,m sure people dont mind editing there save games after every mission if it means being able to play whenever they like!
