Oh, and my post totally calling them out for abandoning the game, which they never responded to anyway.

SH is dead as far as Ubisoft is concerned, delete your bookmarks for their forums and just hang here.

its because of e3. hey, its a weekend and nobody is home. we'll make some noise next week. what are we going to tell these suckers? oh i know, we will delete and forget. that always works.

I don't know, I don't know...but it looks like PC gaming market evolves to be more and more unfriendly to casual customer:

- weird software DRMs sometimes affecting our rigs

- constant on-line presence required during all game-play

- you cannot resell already bought - mean your - game

- you cannot install it on another rig or reinstall as many times as you wish

- now even not all game code is present on your rig because DRM will send lacking code via Internet to you according to your in-game progress - check how Uplay engine actually works!

Is this some VlRTUAL GULAG founded for client's money??? It's really sad...

E3 was early last week, and besides Silent Hunter (and therefore, presumably the SH3 devs) weren't involved with it at all.

What is the reason?

I can see posts from the past ten days (June 15th up to June 25th).

So, there is no reason for them to have not done something they didn't plan to not happen. However, if they had planned to have done it, it probably wouldn't have been done, but just because they didn't plan it doesn't necessarily mean that it wouldn't happen. Not happening and having happened are of course two different things that both need to be planned for, whether you take E3 into account or not. They could have planned it and now that plan has been reversed, or perhaps the reverse may be true.

Seriously - that is very funny, but from now on I'm done with Ubisoft. Regardless of whether or not they support the subsim games from now on, you have to admit they've treated us very badly and I have to say that SH5 is the last Ubisoft game I will buy.

I'll stick to supported games from now on..

Nisgeis · 06-25-10, 05:04 PM

OK, but regardless of whatever Ubi have and have not done, the forum appears OK for me and that's what the OP is about. I can see posts from every day over the past ten days from the link posted, can no one else see them?

EDIT: Now the posts are back, are Ubisoft less reminiscent of the Nazis? How does that work...

as for all the missing posts, well they will use their standard lame excuse of saying cyber attackers did it

The ubi forums use eve software. eve software had an update a couple weeks ago that broke the login feature.

I would think that the latest problems are due to the previous forum updates.

C'mon kylania, cut them some slack...they're obviously still very busy with E3...(well, they've got to pack their stall up - that must easily take two weeks of every Ubi manager's time).

Then of course there's the 7 day weekends they seem to have. Can't expect them to plan their time around those.

/sarcasm

Doesn't set a good precedent for anyone expecting a warning from Ubisoft before they decide to turn off the servers...

I laughed when a link to your thread was first posted here...I can't believe people actually still expect Ubisoft to respond.

Maybe one day...

And that day will see Pirated versions with fixes for the problem flood the Internet!
Not to mention the lawsuits brought by hungery Law type Beings.

Can you say 'Class action?'
Sure you can!

FINALLY someone who agrees with me and isnt all doom and gloom that "if ubi doesnt make a subsim, no one will"

MAYBE we will finally get a modern sub sim!! But a Uboat sub sim DONE RIGHT will be fine as well!

Seminole · 06-26-10, 08:42 AM

Oh Yeah....right... like we got someone else to come up with a new Red Baron?

WWI flight simmers have been modding that one and waiting since what?...oh yeah...the 1990's....mid 1990's that is...

...and the wait goes on......

Unless,of course, you count the release of the FlyBoys Flight Sim...on the shelf new for $9.99 ..and that one would even embarrass SH5...

Hey I'm right there with ya.
There were subisms before Ubisoft (that happen to be the best ones) and there'll be subsims after
