Ubisoft modifies PC DRM requirements

Users no longer required to be online during single player, only to launch the game

Posted on
It looks like DRM checks on Ubisoft PC games have been changed for the better.

The controversial DRM system required players to be permanently connected to the internet in order to play even single player titles. Now, it seems the games will no longer pause instantly if a connection is lost. They will still require an internet connection to validate the install every time the game is booted up, though.

This change in the copy protection has been noticed by gamers on
Reddit. It’s the first change in the DRM scheme since Ubisoft decided to install it in all of the PC titles.
