Proving once again that in the long run, DRM only harms legitimate customers, Ubisoft seems to have shut down their verification servers for Might and Magic X: Legacy. As a result, people can't access the game's DLC and are unable to progress past Act 1 if they just have it installed.

Here's a quick excerpt from the PC Gamer article linked above:

Enterprising users on Reddit have already found a script-changing workaround, though it requires editing game files to bypass checks and add certain triggers. That's of dubious legality in some territories, but most notably it just brute-forces the DLC areas into the game: You don't get to go there as part of the story that would normally direct you. It's a subpar hack at best.
