Failure to launch
I believe that SH5 is not seriously flawed. It just doesn't meet with the expectations of the subsim community.
It is true that there are many irritations, things missing, and incorrectly presented. The game does not CTD in my experience.
The modders are fixing cosmetic things and adding missing things that we had in earlier versions. In fact, they are re-enabling them since the game retains much of the file system of SH4. SH4 itself retained much of SH3.
The tragedy is that SH5 wasn't what anyone expected. UBI went right ahead making a game that neither retained the best of the SH3/4 games nor added much of the hoped-for features.
I'd be interested in hearing what new players (never played SH3 or 4) think of the game.
