Lol, uPlay just went down entirely. As predicted.
Hahaha, poor thing. You'd think they would have learned from countless other games' releases and server load. Surely they should have an estimate for number of copies sold/pre-ordered, and can extrapolate from that to ensure enough server capacity.
Meh, hopefully by tonight the rush will have died down.
This is Ubisoft. They never learn.
That's the second failed AAA release in under a week. I honestly don't understand how they even work anymore.
What was the other failed release?
Well they handled an open beta just fine, my money is on there's going to be a lot less people putting strain on it at release (unless all the open beta players pre-ordered the game).
That would be Far Cry Primal, which gave an error message on launch for most people.
What did I tell ya?![]()
When you get to the black screen press ALT + ENTER to put the game in windowed mode then change the resolution when you get into game.
I think all the day 1 patch (and people that didn't pre-load) downloads are probably putting a bit of strain on the servers
Wow check the negative reviews on the steam page. Allot of impatient people who are probably unfamiliar with launch day blues.
