Sinking hours into it atm.

Ah sh|te. Don't think I'll be buying it so.

It's not the version of it where you have to be connected to play, else I wouldn't have bought it either. All of the main missions and the sandbox mode can be played offline, as I discovered the other night when their servers were borked. That said, there's elements that can't be accessed without being connected. You can live without those though.

we should set up a lan type game over xmas? what do ye guys think?

**nesf** · 12-12-2011, 15:30

I want this game but really can't decide whether I can bear to pay full price for it. I could be waiting ages for it to go on sale though.

Sounds good, though I'll be away for some of xmas

**nesf** · 12-12-2011, 18:46

Is the game good enough to pay full price for? Itching for a good economic simulation at the moment.

Sephiroth_dude · 12-12-2011, 20:01

I meant the website

it was working out at 44 euro on amazon but if you have a voucher your sorted.

Got it on g2play.net

€20.99, or €19.99 when I used the points that I had from buying with them before. Downloaded it from Ubisoft, installed, activated online, and when I left it, it was updating.

1) go to folder c(or drive where windows is installed to)\windows and launch regedit.
2) search in HKEY_USERS for folder chain Software\Related Designs\AutoPatcher\ProxyConfig and open file UseProxy.
3) change 1 to 0
4) play the game

Seems to be doing something.
