As in Hammerpoint actually delivers?
Because according to this guy on the forums: "History has shown us Ubi puts out about 1-3 patches for it's games on PC, and if you look through their patch notes, they are all things nobody on the forums is talking about. At that point, they stop all patches and call it a day."
I recall Hammerpoint releasing Patches for quite a long time

Thanks for the heads up. I'm sure you'll get a few people coming through her like a pack of implied-drama vultures with their "OMFG CRY MOAR" tryhard speel, but really, it's nice to know about games like this so we can avoid them until (months) later when there is the chance at it being... well... y'know... workable.

Ehh...I'm running on a laptop. I ran it in DX9 since I could only get around 20FPS with DX11. With DX9, I'm usually around 45-50FPS and I don't think I've witnessed stuttering on my game. I didn't play SvM yet nor did I play co-op. I've purchased the 20 point reward back when it was only 10 points but I don't know if I got it ingame or not. One thing that annoyed me is that I played this small SvM minigame before the game came out and it was promised by Ubisoft devs that we would get a code for a some exclusive suit but I haven't received the code yet. I sent in a support question about a week ago and haven't received a response yet. :/

I know that many people had problems with it, but I was lucky and did not have any with it. The only issue I found was that my resolution settings wouldnt keep. It ran fine in fullscreen, but every time I started the game I'd have to set it to fullscreen again. It was a minor nuisance, but yeah many people are having issues with it.
Telling you to reinstall Windows is just fucking stupid.
And yeah, none of the Ubi unlocks are worth a damn. You get better gear in-game and money is very easy to accumulate.
I liked the SP game a lot, espc compared to Conviction, but Ubisoft have their heads up their asses. I couldnt give a damn about MP which always came across as needless for SC. The co-op missions are alright though.

CoOp missions I can't play....
Geez I wish I knew what the connection is between people that can and can't run it.
First everyone thought it was virtual adapters like Hamachi and what not, but then I saw a post by someone saying he didn't have Hamachi and it didn't work for him anyway...

I have no idea. The day it was released was a big clusterfuck in its own right. I got it for Uplay as I got a great deal on a code for it, but it was released on Steam first which I thought was funny considering Uplay is the publisher's own brand, it was only delayed a few hours but people were pissed. In the interim I was reading how many people were having problems, but I installed the 1.01 patch and other than my resolution settings not taking, I found no problems. I did notice the server going down a LOT, but I figured it was due to it being new. I've not touched it since I finished SP and all the 4E missions so am really surprised to hear they're still having issues.

So Splinter Cell Blacklist was released a while ago, I bought it myself now thinking "Hey Splinter cell is awesome, plus this SvM mode seems interesting and there is CoOp!"
So I get the key for Uplay, activate it and am downloading with like 1.1 mb/s even though I could get up to 8, thinking not everyone can have servers like steam.
I start the game trying to activate this "ULC" as they call it ingame, it tells me servers can't be reached.
Then it turns out uplay is unable to auto patch your games and you need to download the first patch 1.01 which is another 1.7 gigs from the webs, because the release was buggy as heck and crashes everytime you do anything.
Good that alt tabbing doesn't work anymore in fullscreen after the patch!
Now, you try to play SvM or CoOp and it gives you the same message regarding the servers not responding.
So I play SP, it's fun and all if it wouldn't be for all the microstuttering. So I turn off DX11, Vsync, Shadows etc. (with a double GPU 5970...) but it's still stutering?
After turning off Paralaxx game runs smooth as a newborns skin, good enough I guess?
I want to use my Uplay points to redeem this ingame money and blue goggles so I use my 20 points that I have left, go ingame and realize that this too is a feature that needs to be approved by the mysterious blacklist servers that are not responding, so I end up not having the thing I wasted my 20 points on (Fair enough, it was just cosmetic anyway)
But the best part is, that ubisofts solution for the Multiplayer thing is telling you to reinstall your windows and apart from that, dead silence with no ETA on a patch or anything.
The way I understand it it has been this way since release and it still wasn't patched and Ubisoft isn't saying ANYTHING regarding a patch or fix or whatever.
So I had to leave this little rant here because I am actually very disappointed. I don't remember Ubisoft being worse than hammerpoint, because hammerpoints WarZ actually worked in MP compared to Blacklist!
TL;DR:
Many PC buyers of Blacklist have crashes, can't play in fullscreen, have microstutter and can't play any sort of Online matches, be it competitive or CoOp. You also can't unlock your pre-order DLC (and I think other DLC can't be activated neither) and you can't use these Ubi Rewards that you get for getting certain achievements. I used 20 points and didn't get anything ingame because "(...) try again later"
