Did the 1.1 patch address this?

Thank you.

Too be honest, I came here with every intention of just lurking and to see the effects of the DRM over the next week or so.... I assumed that people on "subsim.com" would bite the bullet regardless of the possibility that they wouldn't actually be able to play it... Thanks for being my Guinea Pig!

The only reason I posted is that dismissive type posts rub me the wrong way... Sorry if I started off on the wrong foot....

Also.... My God 22,000+ posts......Do you live here?

Same issue here. I opened an issue with Ubi, but have yet to hear back from them.

I went as far as to uninstall my AV and firewall software, and disable the windows firewall. No dice.

After that, I did a complete reinstall.

Nada.

Thinking that it might be a router setting, I placed my computer into the DMZ.

Same problem.

It's got to be a server-side issue. Everyone that I've seen reporting the problem says it started yesterday (myself included), after working fine during the days before.

There are others there with similar problems... the advices from the Ubi Tech support is either to:
- just shutdown firewall / AV to launch the thing
- edit boot settings through msconfig advanced steps to find a imaginary devil program that is messing with Lord Ubi.

And bonus problems if you install the game on a different folder than the default one.
Ubi is on a roll...

Same problem here also.........freezing up at the synch screen. I don't think its our computers.........something at Ubisoft's end. I sure hope they get it fixed.

Since the update for the launcher a few days ago, im not getting any more fails to sync.

But..

I still can't stop it from trying to sync my saves. I only play on one PC i have no need for this "feature". Turning it off in the launcher does nothing on my end.. because the game still does it when it loads up.

Dont even get me started on the auto saves. It always seems to happen right when im in the middle of setting up my TDC for a shot LOL. Another feature of this DRM scheme.. it saves itself regularily incase your connection goes kaput.

Ah well. Atleast im playing.
