I am really regretting having picked up a copy from the shops......
I am finding it a constant frustration with this game, SH4 and the way it worked was much more my cup of tea, especially with some of the excellent mods out there.
Will shelve my copy and wait a year or so and see if it becomes worth playing in the future.
Quite gutted, I should have trusted my instincts on this one, dont even get me started on the DRM
