Prince Of Persia Forgotten Sands Bug Fix Patch

Ubisoft did release a patch approximately six weeks after launch, on July 1, 2010. The patch notes were frustratingly vague. Ubisoft listed them as: "Stability improvements and general bug fixes."

Here lies the heart of the myth. The PC version of The Forgotten Sands shipped with SecuROM and required a persistent internet connection for verification (an early form of always-online DRM). Players begged for a patch to remove the DRM and fix the ATI texture bugs.

The digital version later released on PSN mitigated this, but physical disc owners still had to manually manage their save data. The Xbox 360 version became the most stable console version post-patch.
