Silent Hunter 4 patch v1.3: Where? When? What? - Page 43

KapitanDeepblu · 05-19-07, 05:31 AM

Like all of us, I play the subsims that interest us each individually.

Like the rest, I was anxiously awaiting SH4. I wanted to get back into a US sub and patrol the pacific.

Ubi, please complete and issue patch 1.3 as the subsim community has great need for such and you have it within your authority and power to do so.

My dad always told me that you can lead, follow, or you need to get out of the way.

I would most prefer and encourage you to lead.

With most respect.

Fully agree to the need to 'chivvy" the design team along with completing a patch to solve the enumerable problems ( already listed by members ) . This game cannot be allowed to sink in such an incomplete state !
To the barricades!!!!!!

As so many have already indicated. You have a winner here Ubisoft! Don't let it sink to the bottom. Fix everything that's feasible to fix. Give us another patch. Please.

thefretmaster · 05-19-07, 05:36 AM

i dont own the game yet because of my pc but i dont think at the moment i would because of some of the issues i have heard about... bring out 1.3!!

Gewehr 43 · 05-19-07, 05:37 AM

I'll sign this as well. There's so much potential here...

Hey all, just thought I'd weigh in.
I loved the previous silent hunter titles (came across them recently rather than playing when they originally came out) and have been saving up a little money to get a few more computer games. Silent Hunter IV was on my list to get, but I'd heard that it's still pretty buggy. If I'd known how bad Medieval II, for example, was going to be up until (and to a degree, through) the notorious 1.2 patch, I'd have waited to get it as well. Nothing as frustrating as trying to play a great game but getting held up by the leftover 'quirks.'

Anyway, the game engine is amazing and I can't wait for the patch to come out so that I can go purchase a copy of the game. So you've got one eager customer who's willing to help you recoup the cost of implementing the patch, by at least whatever share of the purchase price you guys get for one copy. Maybe two if I can convince my friend to come aboard as well.

Kusunoki · 05-19-07, 05:42 AM

The first 2 patches made the game much more stable, please give us a 3rd patch to fix the remaining issues.

Double Daddy · 05-19-07, 05:47 AM

Ubisoft, please fulfill your customers' reasonable expectations that you produce and support products able to meet intended usage.

Rick Martin · 05-19-07, 05:47 AM

I concur wholeheartedly with Neal's comments and suggestions. These are relatively small but important problems that need to be addressed. One more patch should bring the game up to where it should have been when released. The modders can then work on really great "Nice to have" mods to tweak the game.
By the way, been using Imperial measures but have been setting the fish to run shallow rather than under the keel. Seems to help also have the 25% increased torpedo mod and the explosions are great. For mods like that I try them out on the Naval academy. Needed 4 or five torpedos to sink the cruiser but have done it with three. Yes, UBI Soft please do the next patch and fix the game. Its pretty good now but needs those final few fixes to really set it right......."Haze gray, and Underway"

We need the fix to keep people in our SH4 div,ComSubPac ,playing the game....as it stands,I will have to allow mods for SH4 stats,just to make the sim hit the bottom line for people to use.

This is simple, the game is not completed. I payed for this game and it didn't deliver. You may get away with this on this game if you don't release a third patch, but I won't be buying UBIsoft games in the future. Scamming your customers is not a good way to keep them.

This game needs another patch.

It's a great game allready, but with the last fixes it can be the best. I stopped playing to wait for the last patch and be able to play the game like it was meant to be!!

rlaycock · 05-19-07, 05:51 AM

support Neal's statement.

DGJ · 05-19-07, 05:52 AM

I bought both SH2 and DC directly when they were released. To release those games really showed Ubisoft's contempt for the fans, they were 33% finished at most. So I waited a little longer when SH3 came out to make sure I didn't make a misstake again. While SH3 was good, it could have been much better. Now, Ubisoft needs to show that they are a respectable game publisher BY RELEASING A THIRD PATCH to fix the issues in SH4.

Zepheron · 05-19-07, 05:53 AM

SH4 has a long way to go. Get us closer with 1.3.
