H.A.W.X. 2 Benchmark Test + DRM

I lol'd....

Bizarrely, you'll need to log into a uPlay account and have the uPlay launcher open to run the benchmark. H.A.W.X. 2 will indeed be using Ubisoft wacky DRM scheme.Shack News

Ubisoft using their DRM in their own benchmark demo.

A benchmark with DRM? What a waste of time and money for Ubisoft.

This is a great way to keep me from trying the benchmark.

ill start caring when i start seeing it interrpt my games.. until then ill go enjoy my games and you can go buying them and qqing over a stupid 3rd party process.. and NOT playing them :P

At least the game is well optimized:

1920x1080

No AA

Max Framerate: 162 FPS

Avg Framerate: 92 FPS

Max settings with tessellation enabled

I am usually the first one to laugh at anything Ubisoft do (terrible company), but in this case there may be rhyme and reason to their madness over inflicting the DRM on their benchtest.

I know in the past hackers have been able to use demo files as a guide to cracking the full game once it has been released. So it is feasible that Ubisoft have implemented the DRM on the benchtest to ensure that the benchtest will not "give anything away" to hackers.

I wasn't particularly in a hurry to download the benchmark since I have heard enough about H.A.W.X 2 to know that I should avoid it even if they put it on a steam sale for 50p.

I suppose they put the DRM in the benchmark to see if your PC can handle that "always connected" bs.

OWNED !!!

and as for the comment, the DRM sometimes DOES interrupt gameplay, specially Ubisoft's DRM.

With AC2 and Settlers, lots of people had issues connecting to Ubisoft servers to play or load their saved games...
