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

[kylania]

mark me down as a needs 1.3 patch vote please.

[ConcordCowboy]

Lets get as many patches as necessary to fix this game!

If it's just v1.3 OK...If more are needed then let's have those too!

[Galen]

This is how I feel!!
Awesome great game! But it has alot of problems which has to be addressed!
Alot of things in the game do not work!
1 Radio station station cannot be used manually
2 Hydrophone/Sonar station cannot be used manually
((There should be an ability to manually turn off Hydrophone and Sonar if the boat has a mission to sneak in somehwere I dont want to be pestered by silly contacts when I have a mission to take pictures and return to base! Or make it so time compression can be locked in somehow, it takes hours to get somehwere!))
3 Chronometer doesnt load data into the computer we cant use manual mode at all cuz of this pls pls help, this game should not be point and click its a simulation and has to be as real as possible!
4 Damage Control Team needs to be reworked! If there is flooding in the Sub, pumps do not work, and it sinks most of the time. The Damage Control Team is stupid if the sub is flooded they can work on silly antenna first instead of trying to patch the sub, and pump out water! There is No priority! Sub sinks too fast! Emergency Balast blow is not effective.
5 Missions repeat over and over.
6 Dive wings need to be fixed they get stuck in unnatural possition cutting inside the sub itself with hydrolic arms sticking out it sucks!
7 Where the hell is the rest of compartments!? Engine room!? Torpedo room! Crew Quarters! I mean ya UBIsoft got away with it in Silent Hunter 3 but not in SH4. Pls Fix it! We want to be alble to walk anywhere in the submarine!
8 I tried to terminate a lifeboat and a suvriver with a machine gun and nothing happened @_@ what the hell is this!? Are you kidding me!?
9 We should be able to engage other submarines. In the war subs were hunting eachother as well as ships.
10 Mechanics of the rough sea oceans needs to be reworked! At Stormy sea the sub looks like it just sits on top of waves without any momentum, sometimes you can see empty space between sub bottom and the surface of water, the submarine doesnt ride massive waves, sometimes propeller is out of the water. The displacement of water by the sub is not realistic.


These are just few things out of the top of my head, the game needs to be lovingly worked on and fine tuned so its greatness can really shine!

[Lawndart]

Signed! I'm still waiting for an update before I invest any significant time into SH 4...

[monkey_man64]

Let's see a new patch!

[dprucha]

I purchased SHIII and was sorely disappointed by UBI's patching and add-on follow through, and probably won't purchase SHIV if it looks as if this is once again the case.

Respectfully,

Ah, late to the party as usual....

I wholeheartedly add myself to this petition.

Like countless others, I too plunked down my hard earned cash the day SH4 came out...then patched...and patched some more....and...

BEHOLD! There it sits- on it's lonely shelf with other, better games from years gone by.

For what it's worth, the eratic AI behavior is the deal breaker for me. It's just no challenge when they all mill around like drunk professors at a faculty dinner...waiting to be torpedoed at my leisure.

I'd like to see the dev team not only get 1.3 built and released, but also start offering enhancements to make up for oversights on the game's design.

Just after the game's release, I asked why the developers, when most needed, stopped listining to the people on this board. I was pretty much told that they're tired and I should get off their backs. Here it is how-many months later and they've still not finished.

Come on, guys! Finish the job you started.

[Spartan]

Honestly guys I dont think the petition is being looked at in the same eyes as we are looking at it. It is likely been seen through the perspective of "are there enough people that are angry with us to be able to hurt our public image and affect our stock price?". The idea of giving people what they paid for has not even entered the picture or we would not be having this discussion.

Additionally I have not signed the petition because to me it is worthless as a community tool for the above reason. We are not seen as a loyal community dedicated to supporting products of this nature but more as sheep rip for the fleecing. Talk about slap in the face. Furthermore why are so many asking in such polite ways to get what they thought they already purchased? Does the community feel that disempowered and disenfranchised?

There should be some righteously indignant posts in that thread as well as other threads on the official sites. Moreover people should get active on other game related sites and communities spreading the word that UBI screws over the gamers yet again. This plus email and blog activity and other creative protest methods like using Amazon and other Internet vendor consumer feedback tools, and not just for this title but all UBI titles for sale, to publicly denounce UBI and its bad practices.



These efforts should be coupled with a coordinated media enlightenment effort throughout the Internet to boot. Letters should also be sent to its major shareholders as well as press releases sent out to as many traditional media outlets as possible.



After what happened with Digg a couple weeks ago there is a great deal of interest in Internet related activism now so this community should capitalize on that sediment.

We are agree vith you It's time to realase the new PATCH.

Ubisoft wake up

[Smosh]

This is the exact reason I am very wary about buying new games these days. Shoddy product with bugs and issues so glaring you've got to ask yourself what were the testers doing to earn their money? It's gotten to the point where I won't buy it until the game is patched to a resonable level.

Please Ubisoft, please release another patch. This is the only thing stopping me buying this game.

[Anvart]

I repeat, the following patch is necessary!!!

[WillLack]

I hope they do patch it as I want to have the torpedo camera back from SH111, I know it is not 100% realism but I like to see my torpedo's hit home! Also even if you are playing at limited realism torpedo tracks like in SH would be fun too

[popeye]

Is the 1.3 patch out yet??
