how many bugs must SH$ have before you can call it a game?

06-09-07, 09:22 AM

I am very disappointed bacause after two pacth my SH4 have tons of bugs!!

the crew sometimes is in 2d or they eyes floating around the face..sometimes they say number randomly...
Sometimes the map is a mixture of stripes..SOMETIMES GAME still crash
The sub sometimes dont go underwater even if there is no damage...
I like very much SH4 but ubisoft can not do such a buggy game. it is one of the most important softwere house..
I paid 50 euro here in Italy but maybe it would be better if i d......because you cant do this to the buyer( think about if starcraft 2 has so many bug, wont be so hungry after years of waiting)
I think that ubistoft would be better release an expansion for free if it would loose its client once for all.

What you're describing is a mixture of protection software conflicts and video driver errors. Uninstall the game completely and reinstall it. Then check your video card's website and download the latest drivers.

:rotfl:

This should go straight into the faq, under "What happens when you use a cracked .exe".

Including the garbled map, btw. I remember reading about the "problem" in another thread a while back and it was solved after the user went back to the original .exe.

In short, run the game off the dvd, not off a no-cd exe.

The problems you are having are your fault, not the game's.

I still get a kick out of this topic every time I see it. :p

The only thing I don't understand btw is why the devs incorporated this protection scheme but decided to almost keep it a secret. I've only learned about it from reading this forum. I don't know if it's in the readme, since I've never read it. Imho they could have implemented a short warning prior to the intro stating that the game will run corrupted if a cracked .exe is used. You know, similar to what the devs of Operation Flashpoint did.
Otherwise you WILL get a good amount of unsatisfied customers running into those problems without realizing that it's a protection system, and when they don't read the readme (possibly) or any forums (and many don't) they might never learn about it. Makes for bad vibes.

I think the "no eyes" bug is an actual graphics bug and totally unrelated to - and I quote -

I also have the no eyes problem more often than not, but never had any of those GIANT eyes popping outa their sockets, which *is* the copy protection as I understand.

What do you mean load the CD? I put it in the DVD drive and glued the door shut.

I did have some 2d crew members etc on my amazone edition, withiut running a no-cd or any other crack, but the problems dissapered when I reinstalled to clean out the mods I had installed before I did the 1.2 patch

Count me in the crowd that has a paid copy and ghoulish crew members without eyeballs. But your sentiment, "Ubisoft doesn't care about SH4", is heartless. Of course they do, it makes $$ - ergo them distributing it in the first place. More accurate is "Ubisoft doesn't care about fans".
