DM Question

Dignan · 08-23-10, 07:04 AM

I have a follow-on question about DRM. I know you have to have an internet connection and it has to be on when playing the game. I read somewhere that if the connection goes down, it only keeps you from saving the game but doesn't kick you from play. In other words, you can continue your patrol if your computer drops the internet connection but you can't save the game until the connection is restored. Is that correct?

No you get kicked out of the game.

Aahhh. That really sucks. I may not get this after all. I have internet on my gaming pc but the connection occasionally drops and reconnects and I'm not sure why but it sounds like it would make playing SH5 intolerable. Thanks for the answer.

In the spirit of fairness I would have to say that it's quite rare for this to happen. There have been problems with the servers but only occasionally, you can see this by checking this forum. Each time the server goes down someone inevitably posts a "server down" thread.

I was referring to my own internet connection. It sometimes drops the connection and as I understand it that means the game would drop me too, correct?
