Ubisoft recently commented on the situation.
They converted a pirate groups’ “no-cd” crack into the game to alleviate the problem. After noticing the glitch Ubisoft did the rational thing. This obviously creates a large issue for users of the Direct2Drive service who simply download the game from the website. The problem with the patch is that like most PC games, it forces the disk drive to confirm that the game disk is being used.
Despite the stance, it was found that Ubisoft utilized a “no-cd” crack to fix a problem users were experiencing with Rainbox Six Vegas 2 on the Direct2Drive service.Īccording to, the issue began when Ubisoft created a patch for Rainbow Six Vegas 2 that added new multiplayer modes and fixes for the PC version. Ubisoft does not condone PC piracy, much like the rest of the games industry. You have to love the smell of irony in the morning.
