Silent Hunter 5

Silent Hunter 5



Silent Hunter V takes players behind the periscope of a German Type VII U-boat to take on the Allied Forces in battles across the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. Players command the U-boat as a submarine captain from a first-person view in a campaign that spans 1939-1943.

In January 2010, Ubisoft announced the Online Services Platform, which forces customers to not only authenticate on the first game launch, but to remain online continually while playing, with the game pausing if the network connection is lost. This makes it impossible to play the game offline, to resell it, and means that should Ubisoft's servers go down, the game will be unplayable. Silent Hunter V uses this DRM solution.

Within 24 hours of the games release, pirated copies turned up on torrent and newsgroups sites with the activation disabled but not fully removed, allowing users to copy and play only a portion of the game without needing an active internet connection. On March 7th, Ubisoft's servers experienced an outage, rendering the game temporarily unplayable for around 5% of users. The server failure was caused by a Distributed Denial of Service attack. Ubisoft also released a statement via Twitter on March 8th, stating that Silent Hunter V remains uncracked.
