Assassins creed 2 DRM is going to be really really painfull

Just finished the game. All tombs, all glyphs, all missions, all side-missions, all viewpoints :D Only the Feathers left (have 70/100). Wonderful game. The DRM is the only bad thing i can point out about this game.
 
Googling around a bit led me to this solution. Before running the emulator,type

net stop http /y in cmd box. Power out here so when it comes back will try it and report back.

About my other issue, being stuck in an elevator with Kristen Bell ;) well who wouldn't want that ;) but right now I just wanna know that is it a temporary glitch or what?

New Post-

As expected stopping HTTP did work, game started but as soon as the menu screen appears and I select Story mode, it starts showing message "Establishing network connection. Please Wait" What's wrong now?

Third Post-

After the initial Establishing Network message, game does starts off and runs but even now the game stops abruptly citing the same connectivity message after 3-4 minutes, it starts working again. That Lucy beeotch now gets stuck at more places than before. I mean she stuck at 4th floor elevator. Restarting the game and trying again made some progress but now again she stops responding or u can say game gets stuck at level 3 elevator.

I mean I went the emulator way only to save myself from these continuous interruptions but I'm still getting them. What the hell is wrong here?

P.S- I ain't using cracks, just the Emulator. Even the account I'm using is my genuine one with the genuine key. Saves are made offline.

Fourth Post-

I removed the network cable and tried to run game this time. Now the server runs OK but when actual game exe launches, it quits after displaying the message that game needs Internet Connection.

So I applied crack now and tried again but the same problem. Hence I removed the game and now installing again, this time using the original DVD. Now after that I will update and then run it with Internet connection. Now if it works then OK. After that I'll install emulator and run it while the Ethernet wire is unplugged. If it fails to start then I'll report back here and u guys can jiggle ur heads a bit more cause although I appreciate the efforts put in by all of u via PM but the fact remains that the Emulator isn't working for me in 100% manner.

Fifth Update-

Installing the game and updating all genuinely resulted in proper execution. Made out of the Abstergo in one go and game isn't glitching or anything like that.

In short, in genuine manner its working OK BUT I had to shutdown my downloads to do so and u all know, we have have been blessed by a sweet small bandwidth boost by BSNL this April and I want to make full use of it. I don't wanna put off my downloads just so that my main gaming rig can get access for some small itty bitty $hitty ACK packets to go and come through.

Now since its working 100% in its genuine form, how to do u suggest I should proceed for Emulator based execution?
 
I am playing this game...........but audio is not coming proper.......audio goes in between when talk.........any idea??? Tried google but no luck.....
 
Great installed it..... Its working great with the emulator 0.44 and values 1900,

Its all working fine... Great game... will keep updated on how its working out in later part... till now entereed city and git treated by doctor../

@Ryunosuke you seriously suffering a lot dude..//
 
I'm trapped here between a well and a gorge. If I close down the HTTP service, the server is able to run but is not able to communicate as it keeps getting HTTP1.1/404 as seen by me in command box. If I allow the HTTP service to run then some access permission stops the server itself from being running.

Anybody has any idea as to from where or how to change server's access permissions because I did made exceptions for it in Firewall settings and it is not working.
 
Yes I did all of that and take a look at following files too

Hell I even tried running game with all firewall, Anti-viruses and all kinds of security systems off but still same end product.:mad:
 
Did that, ran it, no success.

Closed HTTP service, ran it. IT WORKS! HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH!

IT WORKS! EUREKA! EUREKA!

Thanks a lot bro! Thanks a million times! If I was a girl or gay I would have blowjobligated u for this ;) :D

BTW the solution, did u also googled it? I too googled for the error but got no valid solution. What did u search for?
 
^^

Congrats dude, so replacing the UBISoft launcher worked for you right..//

Ahh, finally after so much effort, great../

No get set and play the game without any hassel, its one hell of a game.//

BTW the solution, did u also googled it? I too googled for the error but got no valid solution. What did u search for?

No buddy you dont get such info on google...//
 
U don't know mate what sort of things I put on hold and amount of time and money invested in it to get it work. Even though I bought the original game and now its key is meaningless in offline mode, I still do believe that me buying game will be a drop of appreciation towards Game Devs for making such a great game.

The same DRM will be in Conviction but even then I have pre-ordered it via Praashant.

Above all u tell me, if I'm wrong. Any straight fella will work for free if he knows that he'll get regular BJs as payment ;)
 
Hey, at least conviction will have a multiplayer mode. I am gonna buy it dude.......

I just need to find a way to pay Ubisoft for such an awesome game that AC2 is. Any ideas? I am stumped, coz I cant write em a check, coz it will prove that I am guilty of *ahem*...........lol
 
Buy the game then, just like me. U'll have the genuine key to play it and create saves online and u will also have a solid backup copy of the game ;)

@Ryunosuke, glad it worked out for you. I have been going through the gameplay videos and it will be a pleasure to play this game. Tomor I am gonna order a pc from PrimeAbgb :hap2: my lappie aint great.

Hope you all saw the movie. Its out on torrents. Just a 35 mins one. Worth it.

Assassin's Creed II (2009) (VG)
 
So, if the game is now working with somekind of crack, could you guys make some kind of tutorial for little dumbers like me, how to get the game working? I have some crack which lets me play the game, but when i'm running the first mission... the one where the guy goes to "sleep" or something, I get a white screen, and i cant to anything. So please guys, make me a tutorial, or if there is one, please link me! <3. Love you all! =) -reaperii

Is it animation or normal movie(means human actors)??
LOL! No it's the IMDB page for the video game discussion and info. The only short film which has been made in conjunction to the game is Assassin's Creed Lineage.
