*Sigh* Bought Splinter Cell Conviction and uplay keeps deleting my progress...

Is there a way to fix that or should I uninstall the game and curse ubisoft and their crappy drm and cloud saving for the rest of my life...

This is kinda a major issue since I don't play that much anymore so losing progress and being forced to play the same missions over and over is not acceptable.

U(not)Play, the only thing that somehow manages to be worse than Games for Windows Live, sorry to say it but verify gamecache and if that isn't working you are better of banging your head in a ubisofts forum.

I'm pretty sure Ubisoft has a forum where you can voice your complaints. Posting it here isn't very useful.Toxic-Seahorse

I'm also struggling with disconnects (yay DRM!) most of the time. Oh to poop with this, I'll just grab my peg leg and remove the DRM myself. That way I can actually play the game.koospetoors

i had to take matters into my own hands after i kept getting connection lost errors and thrown back to desktop.

awesome drm ubi, awesome :roll:

Yeah I can see why PC gamers despise Ubisoft, I've never had this issue with another game but I had to repeat that damn Iraq mission like 5 times because my progress kept going back to that point. Luckily I haven't had any online issues, but constantly having to be online is a rather crappy DRM, especially when I can easily remove it.

I was going to buy Conviction but in light of Ubi's rather draconian DRM, I decided to do some research first. I initially found that the "always on-line" requirement had been removed in the 1.04 patch and was about to buy when I found several posts complaining that the requirement seemed to be back in place. Sure enough, Ubi reversed themselves and re-instated the "always on-line" requirement in an "update" released on July 15, 2012. Guess they wanted to make well sure that any new customers from the Steam sale had anything but a positive, trouble free gaming experience. After all, Ubi's got a reputation to uphold.

I wonder if they're actively trying to sabotage their PC division so they can justify scrapping it altogether or if they really are just that out of touch and incompetent. Regardless, I won't be buying Conviction.

This is exactly why I didn't buy the game. Heard it has way too many problems.fighter91
