I tried on Vista first since they announced it was compatible. But I ended up on XP anyway since i had lots of CTD's. Im now running a clean XP install and it works a lot better. :up:

I'm stunned that anyone thinks 1 more patch will do it...

The game is almost reasonably playable, but mostly because I think more patches are coming. If I thought 1.2 was it, I probably would stop wasting my time.

Reasonable functionality is required for immersion.

I can't play career mode due to constant CTD errors. I can have the training missions up for a few hours without problems, but career mode always crashes after playing for a bit (sometimes during TC, sometimes during realtime play). I had CTDs before 1.2, but they seem to have gotten much worse since the patch. That is pretty much unacceptable. I'm running XP, not Vista.

Ill counter by saying Ive never had a single solitary CTD not one. Thats from version 1.0 on.

Well excpet that one time I pushed the A ke to see if it would and it did.

1 more patch if it is done right! If it is, no more patches needed:D

We have lemon laws for cars, what we need now are lemon laws for software. Maybe something like that will discourage half-done titles like SHIV and TDU from hitting the shelves.

Oh yeah, and EULA's should be made available outside of the box so software can be returned unopened if we disagree with it.

Here we go again..................:roll:

What's TDU?

Test Drive Unlimited.

You disagree?

I believe that most of the CTD experienced here(after 2nd patch) are related to VISTA users. MS software is the MOST bugged product (do you remember windows millenium???).
IMHO anounced game featurea like chronometer, radars, stadimeter are must be done in 1.3... and resolution issue for guys with big TV sized monitors.

best regards to DEVS( respect 4 your job) , and damnation 2 UBI management :arrgh!:for B...S...-ing us

ah, a qualifier ;)
/agree, dubiously but hopefully

Yep, a lot relates to Vista. better start stirring Microsoft up as well in their forum. Oooopppsss!!! They don't have a forum.:lol:

Anyway, another patch should be in the works but so far mine is running ok with no ctds yet (touch wood) with the 1.2 patch.

I am running XP and I have had a handful of CTDs .....plus the other issues that everyone else seems to be having....the functionality of this game is not what I would have thought it would be when releasing a game like this....I know that there will always be issues...but I thought the beta version would have cleared most of these up.....I dont understand why they didnt include the morph to base function either.....it makes no sense to me in leaving this out.....

I've had 2. Once from the A key and once from the pre-1.2 patch stadimeter. None since 1.2. I honestly think a lot of the problem lies in people's computer setups. and not the game per se

Me too. Despite all of SHIV's problems, I've not had a single CTD here either.

There are lemon laws for cars because with a car, "crash" means something very different than with a computer. Having a piece of software fail won't kill you.

Not the software we play with, but...

I had a jewlcase fall of the desk and land on my foot leving a nice bruise.

Does that qualify ?

I am of such mixed opinion over this whole issue. I've never played a SH game before and was absolutely amazed at how compulsive the game could be. Sure, there were a few niggles but I think I was so impressed to start with that I lived with them happily.

Then came my introduction to subsim and the modding that could be done. It made it clear to me that there are a lot of talented modders who have identified areas of the game that can be improved and have put in the hours required to make those improvements. I then started looking for more and more mods to install and started to notice areas where the game was quite frankly, totally broken.

Along came patch 1.1 and that seemed to fix a few problems. Then came 1.2 and I was looking forward to the patch that would fix everything.

As with many users, I was horrified by how broken the game became after 1.2 but, and it is quite a but, I have adapted and learnt to play the game in it's broken state (saving the game every 10 mins or so helps greatly) and am now enjoying it massively. Sure a few CTDs when having forgotten to save for an hour or two have been almost keyboard trashing affairs but I am, without doubt, enjoying the game.

I am happy to wait for a 1.3 patch as long as the developers take note of the comments posted on the forum, spend more time testing and wait until everything is fixed prior to release. We will then all have a fully playable version that we can all enjoy for a long time to come.
