UBISOFT releases Patch v1.01 for Assassins Creed 2 | Fixes DRM issues | Download

adam January 18, 2012 1

The DRM scheme that Ubisoft intends to use with Assassin’s Creed II isn’t one that PC gamers are looking forward to. PC Gamer UK reported that “If you get disconnected while playing, you’re booted out of the game. All your progress since the last checkpoint or savegame will be lost, and your only options are to quit to Windows or wait until you’re reconnected.”

While autosave points are frequent in Assassin’s Creed II, it still strikes you down by your ISP failing, your wireless signal being weak, your router on the blink, or simply just someone pulling any number of plugs. Perhaps in response to the public outcry, Ubisoft has released a v1.01 patch before the game’s retail release.

Assassins Creed 2 Patch fixes are:

Changes in v1.01
- Game can now be continued from the exact same point when connection is restored
- Added support for ATI Eyefinity technology
- Fixed minor performance issues related to some multi-core processors
- Now resets graphics options if a new video card or monitor is detected
- Fixed some minor issues in Uplay Browser

The top point shows that Ubisoft, while not backing off from its ‘Internet-connection-required’ stance, is still trying to make things less harsh on the legit gamer.
