I paid $49 for the game through steam and I expect a game to work as advertised. they tell you to quit crying and quit being a spoiled brat. Why do company even release a game when they arent working correctly? I had the same problems during the beta. What happened to the good old days when you could get your buddy’s to come over and play over the lan. I get booted from games as soon as I connect.
But most of the time I can not connect to the EA servers or when I can. Its a nice game when I am able to get an hour of game time in here and there. I recently bought Bad Company 2 and have not been able to play very much. So basically we have to sit and wait to play every time they get hit with DOS attacks.
However, the company pledged in January that, should it decide to discontinue this DRM scheme, it will patch affected games "so that the core game play will not be affected." Ubisoft still hasn’t offered an alternative for folks wishing to play when the DRM authentication servers experience downtime. Shacknews quotes one Ubisoft community manager as saying, "Clearly the extended downtime and lengthy login issues are unacceptable, particularly as I’ve been told these servers are constantly monitored." Ubisoft claimed only 5% of players were actually affected, blaming the downtime on the servers being "attacked." The company updated its official Twitter feed on Monday to say its servers came under attack once more.
After forcing players to retrace progress in the release version of Assassin’s Creed II, the new DRM scheme has now prevented folks from, well, actually playing both that game and Silent Hunter 5.Īs Shacknews reports, some of Ubisoft’s DRM authentication servers went down for about seven hours on Sunday, from 7:30 AM to 2:00 PM central.
