I have not seen it anywhere else yet, including official SH4 site.

[AVGWarhawk]

:hmm: It is supposed to be 200mb and I would not trust this download you are looking at. Supposed to be out tomorrow.

[Rydox]

I think your right, cant DL it. Weird.

Sorry if I jumped the gun but Filefront is a site I usually trust.

Link? I found it in the list but couldn't appear to get to it (clicking the link brought me to 'user file submissions'

[AVGWarhawk]

Yes, but in this case it is on Filefront before UBI? Not a good sign at all:nope: Wait for UBI official on their site:yep: Save a hard drive from frying:dead:

Under latest downloads, roffles :)

Can't download it but its there.

[tedhealy]

Oh well, it should be less than a 24 hour wait now.

[Kant Schwimm]

UBI prolly booked the download space in advance, to stop any malicious downloads 2morow, thats my theory an i'm sticking to it...:lol:

[Calbeck]

Standing by. Standing...by.

[letterboy1]

Filefront may be trustworthy, but I can upload 200MB of crap to it and call it SH41.2.exe.

[partyboy]

Filefront may be trustworthy, but I can upload 200MB of crap to it and call it SH41.2.exe.
But I assume that wouldn't be enough to get it put into their Patches section.

The exact same thing happened with the last patch. It appeared on Filefront and was unavailable for several hours until it was officially released. The patch was also smaller than expected.

[Calbeck]

I agree with the "reserved for tomorrow" theory. Makes sense, explains the patch listing without being accessible.

But can you imagine the unholy crap a 200M VIRUS would unload on your system?! :nope:

[Fearless]

Yep and I'm waiting untill it's official.

[longam]

Its not up on the FTP site yet.

[Soviet_Warlord]

Just because in the readme file it says that it will require about 200mb of free hard disk space doesn't mean that the patch is necessarily 200mb. Often when patching, patches unpack compressed files, change their contents, and then repack them. In their unpacked form, these files may take up more space.

Just a thought.

[7Enigma]

But can you imagine the unholy crap a 200M VIRUS would unload on your system?! :nope:

It's not the size of the package but the potency of the payload. :smug:

Well, its rather pleasing news.......some one shout out when were able to download wont you, I shall be refreshing this page a fair bit today.

[ReM]

I shall be refreshing this page a fair bit today.

Same here!

[Rotor]

refreshing - refreshing - all day long.....:damn:

[DragonRR1]

This has got to be the first time I've ever bothered to refresh a patch news page for any game! I'm not even at home ... why am I doing this... why????

[Guido]

This is just how I imagine the united nations work;

Lots of people waiting around for (some might say) important information, that has nothing what so ever to do with the important issues of the day.

Add to that, we are powerless and weak at the mercy of others, and it yet more parallels are drawn.

:yep:

[nappy]

I can happily inform you that you are mistaken :|\\
the UN does more for the poor than anyone else single entity.

political satire...................

ever heard of it?

the UN is dead....................long live the UN. lmao.

[Fat Bhoy Tim]

That's to satire, what ITV is to quality programming.

[Guido]

yes, of course..............

One must not question the UN, for they are bringers of light, I suppose in much the same way the SH4 developers are godly (to some). We must not question or "whine" - which is the word of choice around here for anyone with an opinion not in line with the sh4 developers worship song.

We must not question or deviate from the directorate, the UN is full of great people everyday they work harder than anyone else.

follow the shoe, cast out the gauze.

I was blind and now I can seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

The patch, people, the PATCH. Not the UN, not the Red Cross, and not those guys that stand out in front of Wal Mart before Christmas time with a frickin bell that they ring until they drive themselves to rant about the UN. Let's concentrate . . . and refresh. Refresh FileFront. Refresh Gamershell. Refresh Max Hardc . . . er, Ubi. Yeah, the Ubi boards.

From the actual patch readme:

################################################## ##############################
4. Changes in Patches
################################################## ##############################

HARD DRIVE SPACE
Windows will require additional free hard drive space for its operating system
(virtual memory). If you encounter the following message in an error dialog:
"Ran out of virtual memory", free up some more hard drive space.
To install Silent Hunter 4 - Wolves of the Pacific - Patch V 1.2 you will need approximately 200 MB free hard disk space for the full patch.

NEW FEATURES
1. Modified the game rendering to accept FSAA and fixed high resolution rendering.
2. Added "Volumetric Fog" as a stand alone option, no longer member of the "Environmental Effects".
3. Added a new sound volume option, "Radio Volume", that controls the Radio and Gramophone volume.
GAMEPLAY CHANGES
1. Tuned the submarines efficiency mechanics
2. Fixed the damage model for the Kinposan Maru/Medium Modern Split Superstructure Freighter
3. Tuned the malfunction rates for torpedoes. Mk 10 Torpedoes will be more reliable now, as per historical data. Go Sugar boats!
4. Improved the Periscope/TBT torpedo status panel by making only the currently loading tube blink, instead of all that are in the queue
5. Tuned the submarines damage model
6. Added a new tuning option for the radio news/music volume ratio

BUG FIXES
1. Fixed a sound volume issue where some sound volumes were ignored in the game.
2. Removed crashes in replay and multiplayer.
3. Fixed a bug where refit in friendly harbors would not refit the cannon ammunition.
4. The "Maintain Current Depth" command (letter 'A') crash was fixed.
5. Position Keeper for negative bearings fix.
6. Fixed a bug where explosions were played in the scene after a load or a replay even if the explosion took place a long time ago.
7. Fixed the 'invisible monolith' that, if looking at it, will greatly reduce FPS.
8. Fixed a bug where the difficulty settings of the game were ignored in multiplayer. The game now starts with the selected settings from the session page.
9. Fixed a bug where, sometimes, if pressing the Stadimeter button the game would crash.
10. Fixed a bug where, When hovering over highlatable objects in 3d career room, the texture would dissapear.
11. Fixed a bug where, when pressing SHIFT+F2 in any 2d page the game would crash.
12. Fixed the bug in adversarial where the Escort Commander could see your submarine on the navigation map even if the sub was underwater.
13. Fixed a bug where the name on the captain's watch appears to be "Stevens". Nah, just kidding :)
14. Fixed the SD Air Search radar so that it no longer detects ships.
15. Fixed the Torpedo drag model. Now high speed torpedoes will hit fine.

The unzipped installer is 147MB and yes, it looks like a real patch. It doesnt find SH4 on my office computer ;)

[Toast]

Heh! Testing for safety and legitimacy by installing on works computer - I like it!

I can confirm this. I used an identical method :)

[Toast]

DragonRR1 & Gatt, have you scanned the file for nasties?

[Guido]

AA works !


hurraahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh there is a god.:yep:

[KevinM]

OK. Downloaded it (took about 6 minutes), and the first thing I did was scan the ZIP file and the extracted files with the lastest update of Avast (updated about 20 minutes ago).

Nothing nasty found, so I installed it.

It seemed to install perfectly well (just like the 1.1 patch), and took about 1 minute.

Started the game (forgot to put the DVD in the drive, so it asked for that), and it started up fine. On the main menu page it has v 1.2 in the bottom right corner.

That's all I have done so far.

Going to have a play with it now.

Thanks for the link.

Cheers,
Kevin.

[DragonRR1]

DragonRR1 & Gatt, have you scanned the file for nasties?

Yes.. it appears be free of all viruses.. Bugs however may still be present :lol:

SH4 would look freakin' sweet at 1920x1200 w/FSAA.

[Gatt]

DragonRR1 & Gatt, have you scanned the file for nasties?

Yep, I use Trend Micro Office Scan and the file is clean.

[Jace11]

Can anyone post a list of the files altered / updated in 1.2...

This is important for all the mod makers
so they know where incompatabilities may be.

[Trout]

DId they not fix the TC bugs (where you get attacked while on high TC?)
Anyone else have "mysterious" woundings of crew and damaging of the boat?

I find that, in addition to the random daylight air attacks far from japan, disappear if you save the game and reload it.

Although I've found that its possible that loading a previously saved game can cause it too. But in both cases just quitting and reloading solves it.

Workaround, but a poor one.
