so;

1. They got idiots to do their job for free
2. Its originally their product so they didnt steal anything

Now a days, unless the product is extremely good and I really like it a whole lot, I refuse to purchase (and instead pirate) things that have DRM on them. Why should I buy something legitimately when I get punished for it?

I don’t think it was an experienced programmer’s error. I can imagine a noob marketting/support/sales person making the obvious mistake thinking it was either the right fix or that it would at least temporarily help out the gamers without doing other harm.

Either case, just goes to show that the scene DOES have a value. Most of the old sceners are todays game developers anyway..

break the cd drive or break the cd itself, or even both together if you’re unlucky

yeah that DRM crap is more annoying to customers than to pirates

Then someone with too much time found it and started jizzing all over the place and throwing claims about.

Even though Ubisoft uses anti-piracy techniques it is a fairly common practice in the videogame industry to do so and Ubisoft itself has never spoken out against piracy (to my knowledge), so we can’t really give them the third degree about it. People share their stuff, Ubisoft shares other people’s stuff- it’s the circle of life on the Internet.

Again, this would’ve been completely acceptable if Ubisoft would have at least given credit to the Scene group responsible.

There’s USB flash drives, but they’re more expensive than CD/DVD media. Plus while they may be small, carrying a bunch of flash drives would be awkward. No to mention the problem of labelling them so you know what’s on each one.

You can plug in an external drive, but again it’s going to be more expensive than CDs/DVDs and the files have to get on THAT drive somehow.

You can network your system to another computer and transfer files that way, but that’s not practical if the other system is a desktop that’s not owned by you.

You can use the net, but few people have connections fast enough to rival the speed of copying from a disc.”

Network installations and internet installations (like steam) are far more efficient, for one thing, you dont have to go anywhere to get the CD. I think that all software should be instantly available to get (like on steam), the fact that I have to get up and go to the store to get discs is stone age.

Network installations is perfectly practical on computers you dont own, I just did it with computers that werent even part of the same workgroup, I also do it all day with computers that are on/off a domain. Current technology is GigE networks with SATA interface.

I admit that CD’s aren’t completely useless, but due to these industrys holding back technology, we have been on it WAY too long. Its too mechanical and its too physical.

It goes to show you how Ubi handles things.

Anyone using custom camo joining a server would crash it.

Technically patch “1.02″ was a fix from the community so the servers could stay online.

They did fix that bug a month later.

And then open it with a hex editor like PSPAD: http://www.pspad.com/en/download.php

and if you scroll down you can see the “RELOADED” tag in the code. Priceless… :)

Also notice how “Vigil” edited his final post that locked the thread. Ubisoft knows this is bad press & they’re trying to cover it up. They ac like they’re “researching” the issue…but they’re just buying time hoping this will blow over.

What you do needs privacy+anonymity, so maybe its hard to get cred outside the scene;

but know this: you should be proud, and u haz my props.

Good job!

Your a douchebag!!

All I know is that I thought they were one of the best, along with Fairlight and Deviance. Maybe I was wrong :P

> “and i dont no whos comment u where reading @ the time but the onli one of those abbriviations (?) i used was rld(=reloaded)
and thats cos its their tag… (see any of their rls’s
(rls means release…)”

I know what the abbreviations mean :) I just like laughing at them. Usually they’re just used by people who are trying to act cool and look down at all of us P2Pers who have to wait an extra ten minutes to download a release.

I do appreciate that you haven’t been rude though :) Many people who say “rls” are.

i bet one of the RELOADED team work for Ubisoft….
come to think of it, Ubisoft have an unusually high ‘pre’ count….

you only went and fucked up now…

The disk/internet connection/flash drive/external drive should only be needed *once* to copy the data over to the hard disk.

Such as?

Yeah, the only abbreviation you used was ‘rld’…

Net-tards – *shrug*

I occasionally buy games and the first thing I do after installing is…go looking for a patch so I can put the discs away safely!

Why should I break my cd drive by having keep inserting it whenever i want to play the game.

If it don’t need shit off the cd, it don’t it fullstop.

“What’s wrong with Reloaded?”

like all of their rls’s are nuked and then propered by vitality… (as said before ususally do to a poor crack (e.g. VM crack..))
Ontop that they are a generally just poor group that make a mess of things (see assassin’s creed)
not complaing, just commenting…

What’s wrong with Reloaded?

Or in leet scene talk: “wtz rng wt rld?”.

You morron, this is a french companie, it was made in their Montreal, Canada, studio.
So I guess Studid anti-american showed their true colors once again
