Any Known "Gotchas" Still Left In 1.5?

[Rykaird]

Hi all -

I have two copies of SHIV, but after trying it out at release I just couldn't work my way through the ever rising tide of issues. So I've been happily plundering the Atlantic, waiting for the game to mature a bit.

For me, that time is now.

Are all the big ticket items now fixed? As a simple example, at release the "fast" torpedo setting was causing issues. Is there a list somewhere of issues to be aware of and associated work arounds?

This isn't intended to be a gripes thread or some kind of an attack on Ubi, I love the series. It would just be very helpful to know up front what to watch out for.

I saw a "issues to be fixed with 1.4" thread, but that seemed to be a list before 1.4 was published, and certainly didn't encompass 1.5.

Hoping this thread doesn't come off as filled with negative energy,

Most if not all of the major bugs are gone. Currently I'm playing straight out of the box wit the 1.5 add on. I'm using the draft mod and a environment mod. That is it. I'm enjoying it in this form.

Correct me if I'm wrong, please. I think that the Taihosan Maru still need to be fixed.

Excellent and thanks. I'll download the add on through Subsim this evening.

I'm assuming that it rolls up all the other patches - i.e., I can lay it in on top of the stock game.

Also, would mind sharing which mods you are using? Thanks!

Get a tall glass of beer, go to "Mods FAQ" thread in the Mods Forum, and follow the links. Lot's of reading and everyone has their own preference.

One of the texts for the German career end reads:

Probably one of the most successful submarine commander ever, you become a respected Admiral in NATO navy. In the 21st century, Ubisoft uses your expertise and advice to create Silent Hunter III.
