From the actual patch readme:

################################################## ##############################
4. Changes in Patches
################################################## ##############################

HARD DRIVE SPACE
Windows will require additional free hard drive space for its operating system
(virtual memory). If you encounter the following message in an error dialog:
"Ran out of virtual memory", free up some more hard drive space.
To install Silent Hunter 4 - Wolves of the Pacific - Patch V 1.2 you will need approximately 200 MB free hard disk space for the full patch.

NEW FEATURES
1. Modified the game rendering to accept FSAA and fixed high resolution rendering.
2. Added "Volumetric Fog" as a stand alone option, no longer member of the "Environmental Effects".
3. Added a new sound volume option, "Radio Volume", that controls the Radio and Gramophone volume.
GAMEPLAY CHANGES
1. Tuned the submarines efficiency mechanics
2. Fixed the damage model for the Kinposan Maru/Medium Modern Split Superstructure Freighter
3. Tuned the malfunction rates for torpedoes. Mk 10 Torpedoes will be more reliable now, as per historical data. Go Sugar boats!
4. Improved the Periscope/TBT torpedo status panel by making only the currently loading tube blink, instead of all that are in the queue
5. Tuned the submarines damage model
6. Added a new tuning option for the radio news/music volume ratio

BUG FIXES
1. Fixed a sound volume issue where some sound volumes were ignored in the game.
2. Removed crashes in replay and multiplayer.
3. Fixed a bug where refit in friendly harbors would not refit the cannon ammunition.
4. The "Maintain Current Depth" command (letter 'A') crash was fixed.
5. Position Keeper for negative bearings fix.
6. Fixed a bug where explosions were played in the scene after a load or a replay even if the explosion took place a long time ago.
7. Fixed the 'invisible monolith' that, if looking at it, will greatly reduce FPS.
8. Fixed a bug where the difficulty settings of the game were ignored in multiplayer. The game now starts with the selected settings from the session page.
9. Fixed a bug where, sometimes, if pressing the Stadimeter button the game would crash.
10. Fixed a bug where, When hovering over highlatable objects in 3d career room, the texture would dissapear.
11. Fixed a bug where, when pressing SHIFT+F2 in any 2d page the game would crash.
12. Fixed the bug in adversarial where the Escort Commander could see your submarine on the navigation map even if the sub was underwater.
13. Fixed a bug where the name on the captain's watch appears to be "Stevens". Nah, just kidding :)
14. Fixed the SD Air Search radar so that it no longer detects ships.
15. Fixed the Torpedo drag model. Now high speed torpedoes will hit fine.

The unzipped installer is 147MB and yes, it looks like a real patch. It doesnt find SH4 on my office computer ;)

Heh! Testing for safety and legitimacy by installing on works computer - I like it!

Downloading now!

Anyone tried it yet?
Unexplained death issue handled with? Hope so!

What a annoying bug!

I can confirm this. I used an identical method :)

DragonRR1 & Gatt, have you scanned the file for nasties?

AA works !


hurraahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh there is a god.:yep:

OK. Downloaded it (took about 6 minutes), and the first thing I did was scan the ZIP file and the extracted files with the lastest update of Avast (updated about 20 minutes ago).

Nothing nasty found, so I installed it.

It seemed to install perfectly well (just like the 1.1 patch), and took about 1 minute.

Started the game (forgot to put the DVD in the drive, so it asked for that), and it started up fine. On the main menu page it has v 1.2 in the bottom right corner.

That's all I have done so far.

Going to have a play with it now.

Thanks for the link.

Cheers,
Kevin.

Yes.. it appears be free of all viruses.. Bugs however may still be present :lol:

Can you confirm the resolution issue is fixed too?

No unnecessary periods, it's an improvement.

HA!

Awesome.

At 145mb I'm just wanting to cofirm this is a 1.1 -> 1.2 patch, yes?
