Why is the patch taking so long?

OK I have my stirring stick out.

If the all the games with mods are saved on the Ubi server why is the patch so long in coming? After all, most of the work has been done for them through the mods they have access to. Unless they're trying to re-write the mods to make it look like their original work.

Semper Fi works both ways. Though my Fi for Ubi is waning.

I think its to ensure the quality. Imagine the frustrations if the patch caused new issues...

If it fixed more than it broke.. it would still be better than nothing.

I happen to know the truth, before I did, I thought the same as you.

The truth - I.E. why (based on your inside information) the patch is taking so long?

V.C. Sniper · 04-29-10, 04:53 PM

they r finishing up the 20% of the game that they haven't gotten the time to ship on launch date.

The problem with this delayed patch is that I.. and probably many others have completely lost interest in the game.

I've moved on to other things, and probably wont be back playing this again for quite some time.

1000% agree , I am getting annoyed and bored waiting.

Whilst all of our replies are conjecture - I do believe and sincerely hope that UBI have decided to actually address the product issues with a decent patch.
After all SH5 and AC2 are the so called flag ship games of their new DRM system - and the DRM system is already taking too much flak - possibly in the case of SH5 because the game is so buggy.

What better way to help smooth the water (ahem) than to at least fix the game issues?

My 2 cents on the DRM - never had an issue with it and understand why such steps have to be taken....I believe we will see a lot more advanced DRM systems come our way in future games - but it will not go away.

What I would like to see is a 'fixed' game. I hope that is what UBI want to see too.

Because they work at the code level.

But to follow your logic, if all of the flaws you are concerned about are fixed by existing mods, why do you care about the patch?

And implying that the Ubisoft Romania team is so ethically bankrupt that they would steal someone else's work and claim it as their own is really a cheap shot.

If they were that morally insane they would be working for Goldman Sachs and making a lot more money.

its simple , one or more of the promised fixes is causing issues, my moneys on the single core fix.
