I purchased my copy of Silent Hunter 5 with real money. I didn't pirate it or download it in part or wholly. So far, every time I have played it, I have been connected to the internet for the entire time. The first time I installed the game, then connected to the internet, it spent probably 20 minutes getting "upgrades" before finally firing up the intro movie.

My question is this...Do I need to download a patch to fix up Ubisoft's "errors" (read bug fix) or are they automatically detected and installed each time I connect to the internet to play? I don't mean downloading the work of some hard working modder who has added special effects, or increased or enhanced the sim by giving it extra gauges, easier interface etc. I mean Ubisoft's attempts to repair what gamers have perceived as "bugs" or errors.
