Some bugs are no bugs - its FADE, the copy protection

Yeh, and it sometimes is activated even if the player has legal copy of the game...

Besides, why would UBI keep this as a secret?

Let´s say someone downloads the game from some site, installs it and plays it. He gets crashes and loads of graphical glitches and thinks "OMG! This game is crap!", so he unstalls and forgets the game not knowing that it is actually a method of copy protection? If the player would know that this all is b/c of "FADE" and he would otherwise like the game, he would most likely go to the store and buy it.
