roflmao at that clip Utops!!

I guess ill just give up and try again tomorrow and hope that it is fixed by then. If the pirate version workes without internet connection then DRM must be the most counter-procutive copy protection ever known to mankind. I mean i can just see people returning the game and getting hold of a pirate version. LOL!

I'm back in, but the launcher couldn't download saved games. At least I can play, wonder for how long..

Chaoic out...

Don't ya'll know the 7th day is a day of rest. Ubi worked hard on this game, so they'll take a rest every Sunday....

Or it could be your connections are poor.

Just managed to log in but I keep getting that internet connection problem screen and after a while I get booted.. So.. guess I'll just go to bed.

Ya know what I think is really needed is some sort of server status page, or some other kind of feature so that when these failures happen one can determine if in fact the server is down or experiencing problems.
Cause having a incorrect username/password message isnt saying much and obviously none of us were using the wrong name or password. So that message was clearly what was "incorrect".
I have mine setup to remember me so I dont have to manually input this info each time just as I do anywhere such as these and any other forum I visit.

Something like a special server status site, or build it into the game itself so that if the server is in fact down, you'll get a message stating such. Not what we got this time around which wasn't the case at all apparently.

Ok.... so this looks like its going to be a regular occurance...... who woulda thunk that?

I guess I could just keep checking this forum every weekend and see when these threads don't get started - that will tell me when UBI has got rid of the DRM so I can go buy the game....

[SabreHawk]

And one other thing, this like so many other reports of this sort of thing may not be UBI's servers at all. There's always the internet itself, and all the many many networks that all this info has to go through.

But then I suppose that is one more reason the DRM system is a bad thing in the end. It's dependent on someting that history has proven is sometimes quite unreliable, and full of complication and glitches.

Ok nuff said, im going back out to sea, where there seems to be less war going on, and it's much more peaceful and quiet.

I was back in after some 30 minutes too, now everything is fine. Ubisoft said the servers are monitored 24/7, and I believe when this happens they are actually working on them. Hopefully for the better.

But I heard the servers are located in France, and that's not exactly a good thing for you guys in the US. You always end up last in line

[The Enigma]

I've a confession to make:

It was me.
I wanted to check if the UBI server was on line, so I did send one ping
to their server.

Immediately after doing so, messages like this one showed up at ubi's forum and here at subsim.

I wasn't aware that I was causing a problem for that server.
I wont do it ever again, I swear.


Peace my friends.

Thanks we need that round here.

Well yep, it does seem to be that when it comes to customers that no matter what ya do, they'll find some way to be unhappy with ya.
Just ask any waitress.


Hmmmm, actually I think I may know what it was now. Someone was busy trying to set the server's clock forward an hour, or they forgot to do it at all. Heck I forgot to that myself today.

I sure hope they didn't forget anything and intentionally left the clocks untouched. In EU, also known the home of the mighty Ubisoft and their servers, we are still almost two weeks away from the shift.
