Ubisoft will have more than one server. they will have a few dotted around the globe.
That is why some can play while others cant. Ubi are surposed to re-route those not able to connect to servers that are up.

Exactly, right after I posted several pages ago before I called TS, I tried one more time just to make sure. Got the incorrect username/password thing once, then clicked OK and got the bigger window about registering, showing that im already set to log in. Cliked the big blue round arrow button to try again and then it launched the game just fine and I been running it for the last hour.
And in the time I've been playing, there are now what, 4- 5 more pages of posts here now.
And, I was only unable to log in and play for a total of 30 minutes. So thats 30min. unability to play for the entire week.

Ubi got sold a load of goods with this scheme. Pure and simple.

Which is why I didnt and wont be buying AC2. The best game in the world is rubbish if you cant play it.

Im just frustrated that I havent had a chance to play since I bought the game till today and the GD servers wont let me in!

9:32 CET (Austria) can play again.

I guess they have to upgrade their systems to run under several IPs, wouldn't that make it less vulnerable?

Don't ya'll know the 7th day is a day of rest. Ubi worked hard on this game, so they'll take a rest every Sunday....

Or it could be your connections are poor.

Just managed to log in but I keep getting that internet connection problem screen and after a while I get booted.. So.. guess I'll just go to bed.

SabreHawk · 03-14-10, 04:00 PM

Ya know what I think is really needed is some sort of server status page, or some other kind of feature so that when these failures happen one can determine if in fact the server is down or experiencing problems.
Cause having a incorrect username/password message isnt saying much and obviously none of us were using the wrong name or password. So that message was clearly what was "incorrect".
I have mine setup to remember me so I dont have to manually input this info each time just as I do anywhere such as these and any other forum I visit.

Something like a special server status site, or build it into the game itself so that if the server is in fact down, you'll get a message stating such. Not what we got this time around which wasn't the case at all apparently.

CaptainHaplo · 03-14-10, 04:04 PM

Ok.... so this looks like its going to be a regular occurance...... who woulda thunk that?

I guess I could just keep checking this forum every weekend and see when these threads don't get started - that will tell me when UBI has got rid of the DRM so I can go buy the game....

SabreHawk · 03-14-10, 04:06 PM

And one other thing, this like so many other reports of this sort of thing may not be UBI's servers at all. There's always the internet itself, and all the many many networks that all this info has to go through.

But then I suppose that is one more reason the DRM system is a bad thing in the end. It's dependent on someting that history has proven is sometimes quite unreliable, and full of complication and glitches.

Ok nuff said, im going back out to sea, where there seems to be less war going on, and it's much more peaceful and quiet.

I have seen this suggested a few times between here and the UBI SH5 forums and it is a wonderful idea.

However I bet arming the consumer with this sort of info could be a bad thing from their perspective if the outage is a high %. As it is now people are not sure if it is happening to the quoted 5% or is it more then that. If they had reporting server status it is possible people would be even more upset with the numbers.

I mean if through the weekend lets say 75% of registered buyers could not log on due to authentication servers not being able to accept their log in attempt people would have hard info with which to complain and/or take action (return game etc).
Right now people can get some little comfort in hoping it is not a widespread problem and that hopefully it will be easily remedied.

However, if the quoted 5% is accurate then they UBI should get running server status reports out ASAP as I feel it would be better for their reputation for people to have hard info that the outages are just a speed bump and should be easy to remedy.
