A SERVICE IS UNAVAILABLE error message on fresh install

Thanks

I've set the ports to forward. Uninstalled and reinstalled the crappy ubi game launcher.

Still doesn't work.

I do wish this forum didn't have a moratorium on cracking this crappy DRM.

Did you try running it as an administrator?

Elphaba · 07-31-11, 12:06 PM

Yes, sorry I meant to add that to my previous post, yes I did, and it still didn't help.

Did you install the launcher from the SH5 disc or with the files downloaded via Steam? If so maybe it's some old version that suddenly stopped working/auto-updating. You could try downloading it from ubi's site: http://static3.cdn.ubi.com/orbit/lau...rInstaller.exe

Yeah, that's the same place I got it from.

Still no luck.

So after about 8 hours of copying data, installing bootcamp/windows/sh5 and it not working, I gave up and booted back into OS X to run it from Parallels, and now it won't run from there!!!

With the same error!!!

Arrggh!

How can you buy a game that you can't run!!!

3days...still nothing.

Anyone any ideas?

If I knew anything about Macs (which I don't, I'm afraid) then I'd try to help. I guess most here are running SH5 on Windoze machines and that's why it's taking a little longer.

But I'm sure, with patience, someone will be able to help! Just give it time
