Draconian Guppy Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 UK, March 8, 2010 - Ubisoft's DRM servers were overloaded over the weekend, rendering the recently released PC version of Assassin's Creed II unplayable for many legitamate owners of the game. In an attempt to combat piracy, Ubisoft announced an extreme method of DRM whereby games required a constant internet connection. Assassin's Creed II, released last week, was the one of the first games to support the policy, and its first weekend has been plagued by server issues with posters on the official forums telling of connection outages. Source On that same page, for those that didn't know about it, statement from ubisoft An official statement made to IGN expanded upon this, saying that "All players with an open session during the attack were not affected. We also confirm that, at this time, no valid cracked version of either Silent Hunter 5 or Assassin's Creed II are available." This one whole week after the game has been released in Europe... I guess their DRM does work to some extent, whilst ruining gameplay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
