Yeh, you bought the game and it works. You can install it, start it and play it. So it works. That's pretty much the only thing Ubi has to care if they sell a game. There's no law to force them to patch the game. Some features are broken, yes, but if someone would sue Ubi over that or demand their money back, all they'd have to do is say "We meant it that way".

So, no we are not in the position to threaten them.

Wrong! The game does not play or work for me. I have not been able to complete one mission to this day because of CTD.

I uninstalled SH4 leaving no folders to exist and then did a defrag of my computer after having specific CTDs at specific times in campaigns and then even finally online. I reinstalled SH4 and did not run it. I then promptly applied patch 1.2 and the problem persisted. So, I redid everything again and applied patch 1 followed by patch 1.2. It played for a few days but then went from being a specific CTD at a specific time during the first campaign to now being random CTDs although maybe not as bad. The last time was just now as I was closing in on Japan and got a notice while in the map room that aircraft was spotted. When I chose to go to periscope depth, BANG! CTD! :damn: I will be so glad when my SH3 comes in that I ordered today from this web site. I’m done with SH4 unless they fix it! The thing will not run for me. :down:
