I agree. Another patch should be released to make this thing what it should be. Like Neal said, in order to grow your fan base, you need to put out a product of interesting subject matter (accompolished), with nice features to get people hooked and wanting it (done), and it needs to have all the bugs worked out of it (we need another patch that fixes the bugs). The last part is very important to keep this type of simming alive. Please release patch 1.03.

I'm in total agreement with Neal here, a 1.3 patch is a requirement, not an option.

I bought SH IV on release because I'd bought SHIII on release and seen it patched from farce to superb sim.

If SH IV isn't fixed, why would I even consider buying any Ubi product until review class it as perfect?

Further work is definatly required. I was most dissapointed with so many of the functions not working. Without the resources of subsims forums and access to mods I would have found the game un playable even with the 1.2 patch.
Fixing The Manual Speed of target issue and AI should be a priority.
I just feel sorry for the people who invested their money in what could be a great game and dont have the access or knowledge to mod it to a working state.
Allthough I do acknowledge the great work that has been done , it just seems that the product is unfinished.

Yea lets summon for a patch 1.3

Most of those issues there are fixes for in the community patches, but not the big rather anoying ones.

-- UOM get that fixed !!! It screws up all plotting and subsequently shooting.

-- Radar Scopes, Range Rings !!

-- Notes on Map

-- Entrys in Commanders log

-- AI improvements for the merchants

I would even give in on the chronometer if you fix the above

Another patch is a MUST. The game was released incomplete. The first two patches were quickly pushed out the door and were not thoroughly tested. The mixed measurements is inexcuseable. It should have been part of the Imperial measurement addition in the first patch. The broken stopwatch is also inexcuseable.

I have been patiently waiting for these critical items to get fixed before I start a career and really get deep into the game. I'm starting to lose interest though. While the game is beautiful and fun as is, it it much too distracting and annoying having to constantly find workarounds for all the problems and inconsistencies. We deserve the complete game that we all paid for.

Default I agree completely

I pre-ordered SH4 the very day it became available for pre-ordering here in Finland. I also updated my computer just to be SH4-ready.

I agree that the issues discussed here need to be solved; having been disappointed with the bugs I uninstalled the game, choosing to wait for a working version.

Since I like to play with full realism, but don't have the hours required, checking and testing all the mods just to make the game functions properly is unfortunately not the thing for me.

The game has great potential, though. Kinda takes me back to the (very) old times when I just had to have a Commodore 64 to play the legendary Silent Service.

I fully concur wuth Neal's sentiments.
Althiugh I've purchased a copy, I've held off installing it until such time as the game approaches a playable state, which to me is a level of stability similar to that of SH3 when it was first released.

Damage reporting and control is a glaring omission from the critial list IMO.

The fact that this thread exists makes me nervous.
