[The General]

I think the review was spot on. I'm sorry to report I have just uninstalled SH4, I find it's many flaws too frustrating. I bought an expensive video card so I could run SH4 at a reasonable rate, I have a 3.4 Gig Processor, 2 Gig of Ram and a 7600 NVIDIA card and there is absolutely no excuse for this game to run as poorly as it does. It is simply badly made. Some people on the developement team did their job. The ship models are fantastic for example and they deserved to put into a sim that was built new from the ground up, not put into an old, already inherently flawed programme. Ubisoft took a gamble (trying to save money and maximise profit) by using the old engine at the core and it just didn't work out. Patch 1.2 made a valiant attempt at saving the day, but it's obvious they can't fix this lemon.
