I would - if you don't then many of the mods wont work. I also suspect some of the bigger rants are DRM based or people who didn't roll back their mods before updating.

The members of this forum who I trust are reporting very few difficulties, so I'd go for it personally.

[rsvette12]

Some great input guys, from what you guys are saying, probablly updating a bit later as more mods are created for 1.2, ? thank you.

hang on just a second.... the big thing to check is what if any mods you have installed, and if the ones you use are effected by the patch. from what I have read the impact to most of the mods hasn't been too bad, but if you do use and love some of the mods, check to see if it has been updated to work with the new patch yet or not, to help you make your choice to update yet or not. and of course uninstall all mods before patching . but don't add wanted mods back untill you know if they are compatible or not. personally I am going to wait a few days to give time for some of my favorite mods to make the conversions to work with the new patch. but I will patch soon.

Redlance my thoughts also you nailed it friend :salute:

I got nice FPS now with new patch. No weird boat craches, all just fine so far (N-vida card) :-)

Welcome aboard!! :salute: Same here too. FPS are still a bit low, 25-35 FPS, but that's because I have full shadows and AA on. And it's WAY better than the 9 FPS I used to get in the control room.

Hmm I have a fast rig and nvidia card but better fps is always nice, I think it would be a good idea to update if the Darkwraith ui works with 1.2 anyone know ? first hand, also the new w_clear environment when released is going to be awesome. :yeah::yeah:

I think it is but I really cant say for sure. If I was you I'd pop over to the mods section and see what is and isn't compatable.

I should apologise as well for not being clearer in my earlier post, when I said

"I would - if you don't then many of the mods wont work."

I was thinking of any future mods. :DL

Frame rates have increase inside the sub. When stationed at the base, I can not even walk around. That is still a mess.

Depth to keel working fine and return to course is working fine. Has anyone had any weird experiences with crew morale on the new patch?

[rsvette12]

"That is still a mess" lol good one :har::har:

There is some hard word out there about SH5 and the patch but i think we need to remeber thats there is only one serious subsim dev. out there so we need to be abit nicer and help with creative critisim rather than just sinking it...right?

I salute your intentions and wholeheartedly agree:salute:

However - did you bother to read this thread before you posted?

rsvette12 was asking whether to update or not - nothing more:03:

[Madimax]

Yes i did m8 :-)
Just thought i might would be worth to be told. Been searching the all of the web for a solution for the Steam patch and did notice alot of bad vibes

Ahh fair play matey - I wouldn't worry about the vibes, there are a lot of people here who are more interested in the protection than the game. They tend to come in and bash the game every now and then.

The game needs improving but it's not bug ridden, unplayable, etc etc, after a while you'll be able to wade through the chaff to get to the important stuff.

Hope you get your problem sorted - I hear that Steam tends to take a while to patch games , so I wouldn't worry just yet.

Oh and welcome to Subsim:salute:

Well I got both Steam and the DVD (DVD 8 days later could not wait ) :-)
So im back in the game no problem. Been playing since first Silent Hunter. The Modders are great! And I would guess that UBI takes alot of Good stuff from them (good critisim) :DL

Do I need to start a new campaign with the new patch, or just return to port before I install?

To be safe I would start a new campaign.
