NEWS regarding 1.3

[WernerSobe]

from german Ubisoft Forums

Hallo alle miteinander.

Wir möchten uns zunächst dafür entschuldigen, dass wir so lange keine News mehr zum Patch 1.3 für Silent Hunter 4 gepostet haben, allerdings ist derzeit nicht sicher, ob es überhaupt einen weiteren Patch geben wird. Die Moderatoren und Community Manager der diversen Länder tun gegenwärtig ihr bestes um Euch zu repräsentieren – unsere Community – denn wir wissen das Ihr einen weiteren Patch haben wollt, aber wir brauchen Eure Hilfe um diesen zu ermöglichen. Zunächst brauchen wir eine Liste in der die Bugs nach Priorität gestaffelt aufgelistet sind. Eine solche entsteht bereits hier:

http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/6421019045/m/1...271062855#5271062855

Wir haben zwar Eure Liste von Voyager erhalten, aber teilweise war diese sehr ungenau und um wirklich sicher zu gehen, dass wir nichts übersehen, wird die neue Liste nun auf internationaler Forenebene von Grund auf neu erstellt.

Diese Liste ist sehr wichtig für uns denn es wird nicht möglich sein, die Entwickler davon zu überzeugen, sich um jeden einzelnen Bug zu kümmern, aber wir wollen sicherstellen, dass jeder wirklich gravierende Bug bekannt wird und korrigiert werden kann. Ihr könnt uns dabei unterstützen, indem Ihr unter den folgenden Links votet oder / und bei der Liste mitwirkt.

Am 28. Mai werden wir dann alles zusammentragen und mit den Ergebnissen der beiden Aktionen bewaffnet versuchen, diejenigen die nicht mit einem weiteren Patch einverstanden sind, davon zu überzeugen, dass die Community einen Patch 1.3 braucht bzw. sich wünscht.

Wir wissen, dass dies nicht gerade eine ideale Situation ist aber wir waren der Auffassung etwas unternehmen zu müssen, bevor wir am Ende ohne Optionen da stehen. Die Entscheidung ob wir einen Patch 1.4 oder 1.5 bekommen, liegt bereits nicht mehr in unseren Händen und wir wollen alles in unserer Macht stehende tun, um wenigstens einen Patch 1.3 zu ermöglichen.

Vielen Dank für Eure Unterstützung.

short translation:

At first wa want to appologise that we havent posted any news about patch 1.3 for so long. However it is not quite sure at the moment wether there will ever be another patch. The moderators and comunity managers from different countries are doing their best to represent you - our comunity - because we know that you want another patch, but to afford it we need your help. At first we need a buglist sorted by priority. Such one is already arising here:


http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/6421019045/m/1...271062855#5271062855

In fact we have received your list from voyager, but it was partly inaccurate and to ensure that we dont lose sight of something, an entirely new list will now be created on international forums.

This list is very important for us because it wont be possible to persuade the developers paying attention to each bug. But we want to assure, that every realy serious bug will be corrected. You can support us by voting on following links and assist the list.

On 28. of May we will bring everything together and armed witht he result of both actions we will try to convince those, that do not agree with another patch, that the comunity realy needs and desires it.

We know, that this is actualy not the ideal situation but in our opinion we must act before we finely end up without options. The decision wether there will be patch 1.4 or 1.5, is already out of our range and we want to do everything we can to at least afford patch 1.3.

thank you for your support.

How could a game go uncompleted with two the most fundamental and integral part of the simulation (Radar and TDC broken)? This is all I'm asking for. What the heck? These two things not working are not a good thing.

That can't be right....

I'm wondering what other PC game companys are thinking right now.

Are they going to go with a mindset "If UBI can sell crap and not back it up and screw the comsumer because what can they do about it". So can we.

Or will they think " Heres our chance to grabup this niche market and have a Finanical and Advertiseing coup on Ubisoft ".


If it wasn't for their INTEGRITY and RESPECT for Neal Stevens, the people on SS could fix this game and SH3 REALLY GOOD!!!

As it is we can't do anything but do as the Devs request and cross our fingers as UBISOFT leads us down the path.

Good Luck to All fellow SubSimmers.

Read a few of the posts besides the title before posting
and you might be surprised what you might learn

all you fast typists.

They know where the bug lists are, they know which are the most important because they read these forums - thats why we got AA etc in 1.2

This is a ruse. They are obviously desperate to remove themselves from any responsibilty for finishing this title.

The end of the SH franchise is nigh..

UBI is just following suit with EASports.... All the PC versions of Madden football (since 06) and NFL HeadCoach have been riddled with bugs. Not a single patch for any of them have been released. NFL HeadCoach was so bad that most forum discussion died 5 months after it was released last year... thats how bad it was.

Is Vth_F_Smith_ a Ubi employee or just a "hobby" moderator for one of their forums? What I'm asking is, does he actually have insight into Ubi and their patching policy for SH4 or is he just speculating based on not hearing anything from Ubi about any forthcoming patches?

Yeah but he's a community moderator on an Ubisoft forum, if I'm not mistaken. That doesn't make him an Ubisoft representative. I want to hear word from Ubi corporate or the dev team.

Well-informed people are happy people! Communication is one of the key factors in securing future business for a person or a company. It sounds like Ubi Soft has no sense of accountability at this point, which could be the reason for not hearing anything from them. Maybe it is partly because they feel like that their customers are so desperate for their product that they will buy it no matter what condition that it is in.
