I shouldn't have to beg for crap. I paid good money for SH4 and Ubisoft should fix SH4 right no matter what. We customers owe Ubisoft nothing. As paying customers Ubisoft owes us a correctly patched SH4. I think Ubisoft knew they were going to take the money and run from the very beginning.

I totally agree! I paid for a finished product. It's time to deliver UBI!!!!!

Yes I agree with everyone also a new patch is needed for SH4. It is important for UBI to stand behind their products.

Aside from the issue of finishing a game that was sold incomplete, I think the number of people who buy SH5 might be affected by whether or not this game is corrected. As it stands I stopped playing SH4 because of the bugs. I'll go back to it if it is fixed, but I won't buy SH5 if it isn't.

I bought SH III and still play it on occasion every few months, I got bored with it in the end but adding mods made it a new game but it never ran well for me.

But as with SH IV I never bought it as I knew it would be rubbish out of the box, thing is after reading all the posts I’m not going to either.

Stop releasing games with the opinion well its broke but we can patch it later…..Never had this option when I was younger, the games worked out of the box………

Disgusted and shocked that these developers can’t get this basic fundamental right, it seems to be the lazy half arsed approach theses days my other few games are the same BF2 was patched from day one and FM07 was patched all the way.

I’m only playing BF as I have the PR mod which opens up a epic game….I’ll come back it six months and see whats whats when I get my new quad machine for winter

Agreed - software houses seem to release BETA products nowadays with the view that they can patch them up to GOLD once the money comes in. This isn't the right approach at all - GOLD products should be the only ones released after proper BETA testing. Consumers shouldn't have to pay £20-40 for the dubious honour of BETA testing unfinished products. UBI aren't alone in this (DICE/EA and Activision anyone?) but I too can remember playing games that needed one patch several months later to fix obscure niggling bugs, not immediate patching to fix show stoppers.

If you're gonna do it, do it properly!

Vote with your wallet! I'm not buying any more Ubisoft games until this one is fixed!

I agree.... signed!

Count me in. This game is too good to be left almost finished.

Yan · 05-19-07, 04:52 AM

Me too!

Here comes a french speaking customer, rather disappointed with SH4: difficult to find the same atmosphere as in FS III, and an unfinished product. The two first patches were necessary, and there are still many bugs left. The only answer is a serious third update, Thank you for your help !

This game is potentially too good to be left in its current patch state. Come on Ubi , don't let your sub skippers down - lets see 1.3
