Any rumous or devs saying there is patch coming, or do we have final SH game in hand what devs gave to us? any confirmed or even rumours?
There is nothing about the coming patch in SH official forums.

There are three rumours that I know of:
1. Very soon judging by activity from a German forum mod.
2. 1 month post release date judging by past experience on patch release times.
3. No more patches for SH5.
Personally I would bet on no.2 being closest to reality, but that is just my opinion.

May be that all three are true :
1. patch done soon
2. after patch is finished, it will be released in a months time because it has to go through different "channels" and validation check lists.
3. after that, no more patches for sh5 :)

I love it how nowadays even a "rumour" is welcome to some extent! :-) Any rumour will do!
I'm guessing they have no resources to spare for fixing problems with the game... they're probably all scrambling to close that hole in their DRM scheme ZygmuntTorpedo's work-around exposed.
It's all about priorities ya know....

The rumor i heard was that all the resources was pulled from SH5 and instead they are working on "Sea Hunter", a new sub sim based in the modern era. Here's some early concept art (http://www.hardwaresphere.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/15-cool-rc-little-bathtub-duck.jpg).
A review by Gram.pl, posted in this forum (in its Google translated form) by MaciejK, claims there's a patch in works for autumn.

In the autumn? That would be six months down the road. :zzz:

Yeah, the author of the review claims he got this info from one of the modders (??).
But hey, why didn't they wait till autumn with the release LOL:)

Autumn! That's a bit late...
Thats when SH5 should have (would have?) been released after they'd finished it to a reasonable state.

I do not understand why UBI wants to sell complete game with the half price, but this is not my problem...
This is good information for players: the game's price will be down, fast graphics cards too. Only positives.

Well, there is a patch out on the net since a week or two.
It's just waiting for UBI to adopt it officially. ;)

He wrote bout patch.
But it may become an expansion if too many improvements are made. Uhm.. i mean fixes.
Seeing how the handle the patches (you get 2, maximum 3) it would be better for SH5 to see patches comes as slow as possible.
The slower they will come out, the more bugs they will be able to fix.
I don't think they're going to pull out 10 patches for that game. Well, I might be wrong but Ubisoft is not Blizzard (on any level).
Sure lots of rumors... :03:
Here's a new one: patch is coming real soon now, two weeks be sure!
:O:

I don't see how this game survives six months without a patch. It is being eviscerated on Amazon and other review sites.
Six months? This game doesn't have six months.

My concern is how Dan and the other Dev's handle the pressure.
:hmmm:
I talked face to face with Dan in Houston.
I know how much he cares.
I'm sure this release is not the bottom line.
There's more to come!
If all else fails?
Trust in Dan!
:salute:
Long Live Dan!
:yeah:

i heard a rumour that neal is in talks to buy sh5 from UBI and the modders here will remove the DRM and finish debugging and fixing the game for him so he can re-release it as a finished game and get rich off of it beyond his wildest dreams. :yeah:
but then, its just a rumour :06:

You know what is said?
If you don't hear a good rumor?

Well, Mega Millions drawing is tonight. I still have to check my ticket. If all goes well we're not only getting the SH franchise but a real sub to drink and whore ... err have Subsim meetings in. :)
umm can 20 mil get a sub?

I heard a rumer that the only reason ubisoft is holding off on the patch is because they don't want to add more download requests while they have problems with the DRM servers. :haha:

Couple of mil-spec hammers and a head, maybe.

I heard that the REAL reason for the Autumn release of an uberpatch is to get adequate corporate funding for some of UBI's devs to take an online history course to learn when the war ended so they can re-set the ships' logs to 1945.

If or when a patch comes out .
Will it bust all the mods the modders hard work has done ?

Many of the mods already released will have to be redone with each new patch. Not worth the time and effort right now.
Its very simple folks.....
The bigger the sales, the bigger the chances of a patch. Thats hows that business works.
Ubi is waiting for sales figures.

If that's the case we have a good chance....
currently SH5 is
no 5 in the German PC chart
no 8 in the UK Charttrack PC chart
no 8 on the Steam charts
no 6 on the D2D chart
not bad for a very niche product like SH5

Autumn, WTF :har:
And it will be like the last patch for SH4.... labeled as an expansion and you will have to BUY it... anyone want to bet on this.
Hehe.

Funny 'cause it's true as evidenced by my work day today. We fixed ten things and borked around 12. :D

You also can add a fact that they have problems with hacking attempt on the servers. As much as i hate sh5:D i think the patch will come out sooner or latter ;)

Hm, I am sure there is sound financial thinking in gauging the performance of a product before commiting any further ressources to it.
It also is the anathema to my view of good business.
That view means making a product that you are proud of and market it in an acceptable if not perfect shape. But that is not how Ubi does it. I am for one sorry to see Silent Hunter V languish under such short sighted leadership - at least the far too premature release of SHV + the inane DRM makes me believe they are not really acting rational. Or at least, they are very good on very short sighted leadership.
But as neal said: Ill buy it WHEN THEY patch it. I've been played two times earlier. Not this time around. Sorry devs :cry:

In the german ubisoft forums a moderator stated today that they have no new informations regarding the patch (or are not authorized to talk about it :03:)

I am lurking there to finally read "DRM removed" -> instant buy

For what it is worth there was a patch to Silent Hunter 5 today via Impulse but there is nothing indicating patch notes or what was updated.
