6 Days And Counting ..
 

I unistalled SH5 on the night of the 19th awaiting the 2nd patch on the 20th, I did this because I had installed mods over the original files.

And to tell the truth I have not missed it, I hope they take away this target of tonnage or ships inside a marked area to move the the next level.

I do not like this , you have to sink x amount in said area to progress.

Patch isn't coming out till Mid May.

Also, you don't have to sink all the tonnage they ask you do. You don't have to do those missions at all. Play the game how you want.

Also, uninstalling for a patch seems... odd?

Really? I was kinda hoping it would appear sooner. Where did you glean this info m8? :06:

Well, I'd predicted it a week ago (sadly as a joke that became true), but it was confirmed today on the German forums:

You know.. I'm really mad. I mean.. WTF?! The only announcement about the patch delay is made again on the german forum only?! Are these guys completely insane? :x

Sorry, but I can't hold it.. Feur Frei and all those who defend the devs and Ubi, are you still think that we should be quiet and patient? For how long?

Here is a translation:

Hello people,

We have spoken with the SH5 developers and asked for clear information about the release of new Silent Hunter 5 patch.

Their reply:

"Unfortunately, we can say not say for sure at this point as most of the development team are on holiday. We can give you no specific idea but it's set-up for a release in the second week of May."

Yes, we are also not pleased and hoped earlier availability. Unfortunately we can not change it. http://forums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

We'll keep you informed.

Hey! What u playin' at? Its in German...:rotfl2:

Oh, well. Good things come to those that wait.

And wait.

TBH, what with all the mods that I'm snowballing into JSGME again, even though I said I wasn't going to go over the top with mods, but I can't seem to help myself, I really like the game now.

A lot, not everything I know, of things have been vastly improved now.

It's not the game devs, it's this guy: http://a1.twimg.com/profile_images/4...nes_bigger.jpg

That's "GKane", Adrian A. from the Ubisoft Romania office. He's not listed in the credits for Silent Hunter 5, so I'm assuming he's just some marketing dweeb from Ubisoft corporate.

He's the one that had been posting about Silent Hunter 5 to the official forums, he's the one running the community twitter feed and facebook for Silent Hunter 5 and he's the one that's posted a total of 4 times on the official forums since the game came out.

If he was doing his job, we'd get more information I'm sure. :hmmm:

What choice do you have but to be patient?

Ranting and raving isn't going to get it out any sooner. Nor is it going to change Ubisofts communication priorities.

Endlless posts about the game's percieved shortcomings are mostly ignored.

Spewing venom around is only going to get you booted off of Subsim sooner or later.

And if you patience runs out what are your options?

Yikes... all this time I've been posting "Let them take as long as they need, just means they're hard at work fixing the bugs..."
See, this is what I get for trying to defend SH5 for once! :lol:

Wow, they release half a game, collect the cash then go on holiday! Yet people feel sorry for the 'poor' developers?

It looks like the Russian's are beta testing the patch for us which is fine by me. The less bugs and more added features in the forthcoming patch the better. In the meantime there are plenty of fantastic SH5 mods with more being added and improved upon each & every day.

Dan may be on holiday, but if you check the members present list you will see he has been here almost every day.

:timeout: Holiday! You got to be sh*tting me, I'd be sacked from my employer if I left in the middle of a mess like this. That can't be right, someone is having a laugh right?

If its going through beta testing I can accept there being a pause in development, that is understandable.

You sir are quite the optimist.

This is quite common in the game industry, the whole team going on vacation after a product release, and I'd assumed it had already happened. One of the reasons given in mid-March for no patch announcement till the end of March was that most of the devs were on holiday...
