The game inexplicably freezes with no error message. After several moments I'd guess about 1 - 2 minutes a message finally appears on the screen telling me that "UbiSoft's servers have become unreachable". After another few seconds, if you still can't contact UbiSoft's servers, the game drops you to your Windows desktop and all unsaved progress to that point is lost. Improve this answer. I'm actually boycotting all of the ubisoft games on the PC as long as they keep this kind of DRM, sad, but required.
I avoid to buy it. Thank you for the explanation. Forgotten sands also has this DRM. Well it's "better" than the one in AC2. But whatever they do, pirates crack the DRM and the legit customers have to pay the price. Sadly, Ubisoft are likely to use it as an excuse to stop producing PC games if it is successful, rather than to stop adding punishing DRM. Ubsoft stops producing PC games, competitors pick up the stuff, no harm done which non-big-name uses ubi? Show 1 more comment. While I'm waiting for crashed activation servers or trying to work out why DRM program X doesn't like my dvd drive, yonder pirate has been playing the game for 2 weeks.
Also I like to play games on my laptop. Ubisoft thinks that makes me a bad person. I'll go give Bioware my money instead. I think it's silly for people who can afford to buy games to pirate. It doesn't really matter to me either way, as I haven't bought a PC game in ages well, I haven't bought a console game in ages, either.
I do most of my gaming on my PC because I'm a pirate and pirating things is so easy nowadays everyone and their mother can do it. I rent most of my console games and pirate all my PC games, so yeah. Having no income sucks. I've had my since '07 and I only have 4 games for it. I've had my PS3 for a few months and I only have 1 game for it. Meanwhile, my PC's hard drive is filled with games. If a game has some sort of terrible DRM, I don't mind waiting until it's cracked.
You can't lump pirates and legitimate users together like that. That's exactly what Ubisoft is doing, and I wouldn't be surprised if it affects their sales accordingly. Pirates actively disable DRM, so they don't have to worry about it after they apply their crack, while actual customers will have to use a shitty product for the rest of the product's existence.
World of Warcraft has no bearing on what Assassin's Creed 2 should be doing, because World of Warcraft has a very clear rationale as to why you need internet access. World of Warcraft is an MMO, and you literally could not play it offline, whereas AC2 is an offline game that will probably be patched twice in the entirety of it's existence.
Ubisoft's cloud service does nothing for me. I would much rather have it on my hard drive anyway. Sure, piracy is a problem for publishers. That's a given. But escalating DRM until a game becomes tedious to legitimately play will not help the publisher's cause. I'd rather break the law than have a bunch of shifty programs on my computer, or have a game contact the publisher's authentication server every two minutes. I'm not going to buy a wifi device so I can play on my laptop when I'm somewhere other than my house.
If a publisher gives me a bad experience after I give them fifty or sixty dollars for a game, that's akin to theft, and any lost sales they get in return are wholly deserved. Just so you know, i BOUGHT Splinter Cell Chaos Theory when it came out great game, get it on steam if you don't have it , but one thing i didn't realize until a little detail caught my eye was that it ran on Starforce. You see, Starforce installs a rootkit onto your harddrive when you install any game with it on it.
It detects Virtual Drives and won't run if the game is ran off an ISO and not a legitimate disc, but the side effect is that it messes up Disc drives. What's interesting is that SCCT wasn't cracked until about 8 months after release, a record for a pc game DRM is certainly an important part of keeping a game out of pirates hands for those essentials first few weeks, but the problem with DRM in the current times is that it hinders legal customers while pirates simply disable it altogether.
Now i don't know wheter or not i agree with this tactic that Ubisoft are doing for AC2, but i'm sure no matter what, the PC sales will still end up being a dissapointment. We apologize for that.
