My real concern with OSP is what happens if you get disconnected and you haven't saved for awhile?
Yeah having to be connected isnt ideal but i could live with OSP if progress since last manual save isnt lost and it behaves as Neals copy does (no pause if connection is lost for a short time).
What happens if you haven't saved for 2hrs or more? Can you save your game on the disconnect screen or do you lose everything you've done since last save?
Save more often you say....
But what if SH5 has same bugs as 3, Cant save while submerged!!, Cant save within 50km of a port etc. (I've spent over 6 hours submerged while being depth charged in shallow water with SH3 before i could surface to save (I would be seriously pi**ed if i got disconnected and lost the last 6hrs of progress)).
Losing such a large amount of progress (time) would IMO be a game breaker!!!
They will release a patch to fix save bug you say.....
They didnt fix SH3 save bugs, what makes you think they'll fix SH5?
This game was a def buy on release for me, but with OSP im going to have to wait til i know that my progress wont be lost if i get disconnected.
@ Neal :-
Please can you test this when you review SH5. Me buying the game depends on the answer.
thx
