Thanks Fishu! Is there any way to control the rudder better?

Check out http://www.subsim.com whether the UI mods have got it working. Obviosly many are dissapointed with the lacklustering UI and have been busy modding the more familiar and functional UIs from SH4 or SH3.

Skidrow has once again proven that the copy protections are mostly causing annoyance to the legit users instead of the illegit ones, as they have finally cracked Ubisoft's latest copy protection. They've released Assassin's Creed II with the crack. However, the game itself isn't tampered with, but only the Ubisoft launcher. Therefore this crack apparently renders the copy protection useless in all of the games using the online copy protection, along with the updates.

It does also work with Silent Hunter 5, removing the Ubisoft launcher delay and most of all the synchronization of saved games in the game, which is totally useless and cannot be disabled easily like the one in the launcher.

Once again the legit users are royally shafted. The illegit users can play offline whereas the legit users cannot, whether it be because of ISP or Ubisoft server meltdown. :furious

From what I understand, the campaign mission generator is on the Ubi-servers. No crack can solve this unless it can fool the servers to think this is an original copy that is connecting to them. You still have to be online because this is an online-game by definition: not all the software is installed on your end.
