However, I will have no issue with sharing all sorts of information with outlets such as Kotaku, Polygon, and any other publications that will showcase the mistreatment of Ubisoft towards paying customers of their Splinter Cell games. I'm certain Ubisoft is not looking for any further bad press since recent entanglements. I also hope if whomever is reading this from Ubisoft has the diligence to see the request through to the proper teams involved if they do not know the answer as there will be a proper accounting come June 2021 if LAN play is impacted.

I hope this is answered with a definitive response that players ability to use LAN will not be in ANY way affected by the decision to shut down the servers. This is the Splinter Cell: Conviction server, yes? This address and the need to connect to it should be unneeded if LAN is what the product claims to offer - Local Area Network and is not local. Analysis of network activity from the conviction_game.exe shows the server failure happens because the game is always trying to make contact with - most notably so it can initiate a connection via Quazal's proprietary PRUDP protocol. Please do not 'customer service' me with some message assuming there is a fault within my network or to go through hoop jumping of playing with firewall and router settings. When the status of Ubisoft servers should be entirely irrelevant to my ability to use the game on my own local network. Disconnecting your internet access but having all computers connected to a local network will always result in a conviction servers are unavailable message when attempting to pick LAN. This is further evidenced by two factors.ġ. As you intend to shut down the servers for Splinter Cell: Conviction in June 2021 can you please confirm to customers that the LAN portion of the game will remain functional? I ask this because it would seem the LAN portion is not LAN in the sense any normal person would establish a LAN game to be but actually still uses your server to negotiate connections even on local networks.
