Ubisoft About Turn on DRM
Posted by Rocky on Friday, January 20 2012

On Tuesday we reported on Ubisoft's latest DRM measures that effectively prevented PC users from playing Anno 2070 on a PC that have subsequently been upgraded 3 times. Today a new annnouncement seems to indicate that at least GPU upgrades will not be tracked, so PC users can upgrade their graphics cards without fear of a game lock out.

This sounds promising for Ghost Recon Future Soldier, as fans wait to hear just how intrusive the protection measures on the next Ghost Recon title are going to be.

Ubisoft Forums Going Offline
Posted by Rocky on Wednesday, December 7 2011

Just a quick heads up that Ubisoft are finally updating their forum backend, but it will mean lengthy downtime early next year.

Ubisoft's official forums have run on the same software for many years and taken quite a bit of critiscm from time to time, so this will be a welcome upgrade from Ubisoft.

The upgrade will knock the official forums offline for a week in January 2012. This time is required to make sure that all the exisiting accounts and posts can be imported to the new forums, which is no small task, so good luck with that one Ubisoft. As always, you can access the official forums from the easy access links at the foot of this page.
