Ubisoft PC games - install issues?
I have not played a PC game in a while so... I ran across this review at Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...e&s=videogames Just a friendly warning to all CDR/CDRW/DVDR/DVDRW drive owners. UBI Soft as a "feature" on their PC software that prevents installation from any drive with write capacity. Why they feel that will slow down a game cracker, and why they don't mind blowing off an entire segment of the market, is entirely beyond me, but that's not the point here. Call UBI Soft tech support BEFORE buying this or any other PC game from them, and check to make sure whether or not you will be able to install. Simple question: Is this true? |
It very well might be. I picked up a copy for Freedom Fighters and couldnt get it to install in either of my drives (1 is a CD Burner and 1 is a DVD burner). I couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Well, I guess it is true... I read the same install problems with Far Cry which I was also going to buy. Guess I'll also pass on Brothers in Arms and all other things UbiSoft. Screw 'em.

I haven't had any problems installing Ubisoft games from my DVD burner.

Sometimes the virtual drive created by folks that use Alcohol 120% trips the copyright protection.
I've never had any issues with any Ubisoft games on any of my systems and they all have burners |
