You can't really blame KFM... it was Ubi that spilt the beans and then did nothing but sit back.

:hmm: They'll get even in the long run tho. New patch will have StarForce in it and you'll have to use the dvd again. :yep: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Actually from where I sit Ubisoft has acted pretty honorably all the way along (forgetting the rushed release).

They have funded the original release, 4 patches, have listened to the community, responded to their requests, have ignored threats of boycotts, lawsuits, phone blitzes, e-mail blitzes, personal insults, temper tantrums and all manner of immature foolishness and just continued to improve the game. They have worked quietly, behind the scenes, with members of this community from long, long before the release, and continue to do so to this day.

Not the type of company that takes revenge... although with some of the behaviour I have witnessed I would not blame them if they did.

Well for those interested here is the part we all want to here from KFM (a legend in his own mind):

Quote:

My contact explained that patch v1.4 will be in fact an add-on plus a patch. Yes, you heard right!
So then, I asked him what kind of improvements it was going to contain, he said that it is a German Campaign in the Pacific Ocean (Far East) with a couple of new (German) subs and ships models. Of course with the appropriately developed locales.
As I felt somewhat surprised, I asked him once more if I heard right. I asked him if he was mistaken and if it was actually a Japanese Campaign that he meant. His answer came before I'd finished pronouncing my sentence, it was, "No, we found out the Japanese submarines did not have much of an impact in the PTO. Hence our choice for the Germans." Further, I asked him that besides the add-on, if there would be fixes to already known issues and problems. He emphatically replied that a great many would be fixed but that for the time being, he could not detail it as his department only covers certain aspects of the patch. However, he added at the end that the mission loop will be assuredly fixed along with, unless Dan Dimitrescu changes his mind, inconsistencies in many of the multiplayer modes.
I said it in another post (the one locked down http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/shady.gif ), the release date is roughly a month away. Ubisoft's official announcement should be made shortly, either within the week or next week as it was initially the deadline given to me by my contact almost three weeks ago.

Since I have had SHIV Collectors Edition from a pre order it has gotten a bit dusty, brand new never used, I may soon have to eat my words & Install the game ..... unless it's a scam!:lol:

I guess the developers held KFM's hands and punched his fingers on the keyboard.

Lots of folks here 'knew' this was in the works but managed to keep there mouth shut. These folks arent attention starved evidently and honered the 'trust' the developors had asked for.

That's only the start of it

Then he receives information about the patch. A week or two later he organizes this temper tantrum phone assault, then claims credit for the patch. Now we should not doubt his "habilities." A poseur to be sure, and not a particularly good one. Too bad so many seem to fall for his obvious phoniness.

Ducimus has released an update to TM on the Ubi forums

Its good to see Ducimus still modding and updating TM, love his work.:rock:

This is decidedly out of character for UBI. Hmm. Oh, well. Good news, nonetheless :)

Sounds like you'll be wanting a slice of humble pie too then. :lol:

Or maybe a portion of crow?

At least I won't be dining alone.

Back to the orginal point of this thread.

Somebody pass the ketchup.

Hmmmmm, yummy.

I had assumed there was a patch, now I think it's clearly just rumor. Maybe they cancelled it just to make the krazy guy look like a nit.

You mean he didn't do that well enough by himself?

SH4 front office:

<Ubi> ((Riiing!)) Hello, Ubisoft

<KFM> Hello, I would like to make a demand as an Ubi customer!

<Ubi> Yes? (aside: "Hey, it's that guy again!")

<KFM> I demand a patch to SH4 to fix the many problems listed in the HGKJGH YTYHP:N HIUHLKJN: LJM"M"¿K M:HG IUYRYUDYRE ; TDSI thread!

<Ubi> I see. (background, another voice: "tell him it's already done!" (laughing) "Tell him it has U-BOATS!" (hysterical laughter in background)

<Ubi> It's already done. It has... don't tell anyone (suppressed laughter)... (in a whisper) u-boats. In the Indian Ocean (more hysterical background laughter).
