PC using Rainbow Six Vegas 2 owners who purchased the game via the "Direct 2 Drive" service were in for a mess of a time when Ubisoft issued their latest patch for the game, bringing the version number up to 1.03. Apparently while the patch would work fine for standard disc owning gamers, downloadable versions of the game were incompatible with the new patch which ended up causing owners of this version some undue stress.
Talk was rife on the official Ubi forums, with users figuring out that an illegal No-CD crack created by the "RELOADED" group would in fact fix the problems that "D2D" version owners were facing. Of course, seeing as the crack was unofficial and illegal, users explaining this fix were issued warnings and the suggestions removed.
Enter Ubi's "own" patch for the problem, which fixed the problem just as the illegal patch had. Some enquiring gamers took it upon themselves to dig deeper into the inner workings of the officially issued patch and were shocked to see what they had found. The "official" patch issued by Ubisoft was in fact the same patch stolen from the illegal cracking group RELOADED.

There’s more to Ubisoft’s back catalogue than its Templar-bothering flagship franchise and we’re here to prove it. By grovelling for remasters, of course.
It’s that time of the month again folks. The time where gamers collectively gather all over the internet to criticize what free games they get this month. So, who plundered the other's fanboys for all their self-worth and gratification in life? Who was the victor in July? Let's take a look.
Neil writes "It's time for some new free games as the Xbox Games With Gold scheme prepares to deliver four new free titles for all Xbox One and Xbox 360 gamers to get their hands on. But whilst we've seen the quality of the scheme tail off somewhat over recent months, can the offerings for July 2016 bring a much needed summer boost?"
360 got the short straw this time but I guess there comes a point where all the free games for last gen will be 'old'
Really...you played Banner Saga 2? You have played Tumblestone? Oh thats right you haven't. And Vegas 2 is now trash? Just please stop ... you only look foolish at this point.
You're missing out on a fantastic game if you think The Banner Saga is trash....
Banner Saga 1 was a solid game so looking forward to 2 but that's about it for me this month
I actually joyed rainbow vegas 2. Its be a long time since I've played it but remembered a lot of fun with it when it came out.
@ Paytaa
Terrorist Hunt still a lot of fun even today. There are always people playing this game mode in RSV2, and to a lesser extent, people are also still playing RSV1.
July is weak rainbow six v2 is great game but now only few people is playing it. Well at least I got 1000 achievement
Trust me don't won't to hard for them.. plus rainbow six siege flop bad even with two free copy of 1&2 . People rather play cod black op 1
Yeah, Siege was a flop. Right ... It's not one the best online console shooters ever...
I'm a Rainbow Six fan, but I much prefer the Vegas series over Rainbow Six Siege. Siege was really fun for the first couple of months, but you wont see people playing it 8 years after launch like Rainbow Six Vegas 2. Siege just doesn't enough content to keep people interested enough over a long period of time.
dear...
Wont happen but i gotta tip my hat to those boys thanks to them i dont need to use the stupid cd on half my games.
Lol RELOADED SUES UBISOFT FOR STEALING HIS ILLEGAL WORK loool
