Weird as it sound for a single player game.. servers are offline. For maintenance probably.
What really sucks is that we have not lawyers playing SH5. I would love to sign a lawsuit against Ubi :P

From ubi.com:

This website is currently undergoing maintenance.
Services will be restored at approximately 5pm GMT/12am EST

It would be okay if it were some multiplayer game but this is totally unnecessary!!

I read somewhere that a bunch of people wanted to do that - but sims that when you install the game and the steps ,,i readed the term and condition - i agree - install - next'' are done no way to pursuit Ubisoft (in the ,,term and condition they are covered for everithing and you just agreed with that'' - a dirty trick!

Best regards!

Hiya's,

Unless i was dreaming i heard that in EU countries, the commission was thinking about going to make it less restrictive by clicking and accepting an install without reading all the smallprint

eg: you buy a game, start install and generally accept anything so as to install it, by doing this now you are contracted to the whole mess therein

But if you do the same sometime in the furure and the game etc is really not fit for purpose (buggy/downtime due to developers, hmm ring a bell ?? ) then you might have a case as to be dropped from any guff you've actually contracted yourself to

Lets face it, the EU wastes billions a year on protecting morons lol, so maybe this moron protection will help us gamers

Food for thought

That remaind me of something funy.

Few years ago i went to the ,,futureshop'' - in downtown Montreal and i bought a game. i went home and opened, installed, played for a whille and observed that the description that was printed on the cover was far away from what the game was able to do.
So i went back to the store and tried to return the game - in first place they not agree (policy: if you are open a software product you can not return).
This was my first year in Canada (i was emigrate from Romania - and in my natal country people are a little bit diferent from Canada - here people are more ,,indulgent'' - they give up if you are argue a lot).
So, having the romanian stile of behaving i argued with them untill they returned me the money!
Now i changed but somethimes i am thinking that is better to be like not to accept everything!

Best regards!

No can play here either, but they just dumped the "always on" part of the DRM. You still have to be able to logon to the server to start the game.

We all experienced the fun in this DRM. Next time Ubisoft releases a new game most of us line up again in the stores!

Servers still down..well..this U Boat captain is a lawyer..however...dont think it would do much good...we all would be old and grey before anything was accomplished. With these server issues...one day we wont be able to play the game after all...and after all the hard work the modders did and I did getting my game all set up just the way I want it..a shame!
