Ubisoft has announced that they are currently developing a new patch to remove the online authentication of From Dust.

The move comes after last week's major backlash over how the game's DRM scheme works.

"We recognize that one of our posts in the From Dust forum regarding the need for authentication in the game was not clear," wrote Ubisoft forum manager bukowski113. "We sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding. Our tech teams are working on a patch that should release in approximately two weeks that will eliminate the need for any online authentication."

bukowski113 added that the development time is required to ensure that those who have already started the game won't lose their progress. "This development time is required as we are working to ensure that those who have already started the game, and who’s progress is currently saved on our servers, will receive and save their game information locally. Once the patch is ready, players who already have the game will automatically receive the update on their next login and subsequent game sessions will be 100% offline."

The Xbox 360 version of the game recently broke sales records, but its certainly a different story on the PC, after a major mixup on the game's online authentication.
