I would buy it from there then, but the download times online make me want to pull my hair out.

I have just officially ordered SHV and nobody can stop me.
On Tuesday morning I'm going to Ubisoft.com and starting the download so when I get back from school I can jump to installation.
I will then play the game till the cows come home(or till I go to bed, which ever comes first)

Just do that

The main question i want answered is :-

Can you save if you get disconnected from sserver?

You could easily test this by playing for awhile (say 5-10 mins), then turning off you connection (turn modem off or unplug cable). Wait for game to pause. Then see if there is an option to save.

I hope there is!!!!

Otherwise we could be losing alot of progress if our connection isnt stable or the server crashes.

Guys I have bad news,

My computer is screwed up.
I got a fake antivirus program installed, and my efforts to remove it messed up my computer.
I reformatted and something was wrong because everything was messed up, my anti virus, windows installer and SHIV.
I'm un the process of restoring it to a backup from about two weeks ago.
I'm not sure how to do that though.
Lets all pray that I'll be able to fix it before Tuesday.
Expect alot of spelling mistakes till then.


From my mom's crapy computer(with no spell check),

Just wait until SH5 does the same thing! Rather than hurt you I'll confine myself to pity for all the poor pioneers who will give their computers for the knowledge I will garner for free. This is a poor reflection of the Howard Stern (and reality show) recipe for success, "how much are you willing to humiliate yourself to be on radio or TV?" Unfortunately, I fear I already know the answers and they are almost all bad.

Violation: "We run the forum with as few rules as possible but we aim for a civil tone, so no personal attacks. You may have noticed other Internet forums are filled with aggression, insults, and general immaturity. Check that at the door here, this forum is different."

I stand by my statement and await the meltdown. Vista, defective as it is, does not invade your privacy. It does not lock up parts of your computer's operating system and keep you from legitimately using it as you wish. It does not quit functioning if it disconnects from the Internet. I could go on and on, but you know you were grasping at straws there. You know the difference: Vista was defective. SH5 DRM is evil.

I remember all the backlash when Mark Russonovich found the very similar and notorious Sony rootkit hiding on Sony audio disks. In an audio CD player they were just normal, harmless CDs but when plugged into any PC they silently and automatically installed a cloaked piece of software, hidden from the operating system, hidden from virus checkers, impossible to delete, a new part of Windows that you didn't buy. It shut down all CD ripping and copying functions permanently on your machine. Your computer became Sony's computer and you didn't even know the monster was there. You merely thought your hardware was malfunctioning. People should have gone to prison. This is a similar situation.

We need strict new laws with sharp teeth to ensure our sovereignty over our own computers. We need to prosecute and imprison those who would cripple our hardware for the purposes of gaining control over our property. There should be clear legal boundaries between legitimate protection of game company property and vandalism of customer/victim property with severe penalties for crossing that line.

When does a computer game become a trojan horse piece of malware? SH5 looks mighty close. And we don't know everything yet.

ERPP8, sorry to hear about the fake anti-virus, I got the same thing last week, but I did not have as much trouble, I guess I was so surprised by the sudden appearance oF 2010 WINDOES GUARDIAN, which I had never seen before, that even though it looked very real, I googled it on my laptop and saw the scam without clicking through.

Still, I have to go through a lot of the registry to get rid of it.

Wow..
I had Vista guardian.
When I deleted it's process exe files wouldn't run.
After about 5 reformats my computer is stable, now all I need it antivirus, a few programs and my files.
It will be ready for SHV though.

Sorry,
I take it very personal when people say things like that because I'm one of the only people who are buying SHV and speak their mind about it.
