Bah i get kicked off of the game multiple times anyhow. This is up there on the frustration scale with sh4's corrupted savegame issues.

And when the hell is the publisher/producer going to say out loud:

"The pirate version works better then ours!"

I've got this problem as well. Everytime I try to load up a saved campaign mission, immediately upon loading I get a message saying my internet connection is experiencing problems and I must return to the main menu.
It can load mission files from the servers however so then how can my connection possibly fail?
Single missions work, it's just the campaign that fails.

I've got a legally bought SH5, patched up to 1.01, windows vista enterprise SP2

Quite simply there is no excuse for a server failure on ubi's part. None. They could pay to have distributed servers, but clearly they choose not to. The amount of acceptable downtime for players IMO is ZERO. With a MMOG, you can justify downtime because by definition, those players need to be on the same server. With an OFFLINE game, this is simply not the case, they could have countless mirrors such that no one is ever left unable to play.

This is a conscious CHOICE on the part of ubi to reduce costs at the expense of the players.

THIS is why so many of us screamed about the OSP nonsense, and why some of us will never buy an Ubi title so crippled.

how do u get your games to synch? thats my current problem.

03-07-10, 12:27 PM

I apologise for this statement but can anyone blame us if we go and get the pirated version.
Would this really be called unethical if we own the original too?
It's wrong from both sides is it not?
Do the right thing ubisoft and shut down the servers and give us our game back.
You failed, admit it and go with it.
Most people that want this game will have already purchased it, have they not?

Amazing, was able to log in once then needed to log off and here we go again... DRM totally failed, I hope tards backing this crap up will finally STFU after these problems.

I am having the same issue today. Internet seems to be working fine elsewhere but keeps dropping me in SH5. DRM s***x!

Easy there, calm down.

Dont use caps, dont yell, nobody else is yelling.

I understand your pain, but dont worry, everything is going to be ok soon.

Well, nobody can tell you what to do.

Nope its not fair to pay and not be able to play.

If you choose the dark side, just dont mention here on the forums.
