What's taking the freaking patch!!

oscar19681 · 03-29-10, 01:27 PM

I,m still possitive about sh-5. But i have to admit that i,m gradually starting to get more and mroe frustrated with it. I mean the bugs and other issues are starting to take over slowly. Here ill sum up what irritates me the most.

* The endless syncronosation takes ages! I asume its because of my many save games but i cant delete them old saves either
* I have to make numerous saves because its the only work-around to actually make sure the saved games arent ****ed-up when you get back it the game
* My camouflage dissapears nomatter what i do , save and restart , check it the camo is actually activated , exit and return to game , no joy. I got a mod for it but it didnt fully fix the problem but at least somebody tried to fix it.
* whenever i load the game when the u-boat is submerged i hear the diesel engines!
* Speeds of targets on map updates on are not accurate
* The game thinks i,m submerged while i,m on the surface

Well i could go on for quite some time but we allready have a bug-list.
The game is still playable for me because all of the talented modders that have been spitting out mods from day-1. Otherwise i would freak out.
I know i have been positive about sh-5 and in way i still am. But there are things that the devs must fix and the modders simply cant! I also think the patch is taking way to long! I was hoping it would have been here by now . Either the devs working on a major patch or they are working on another project and the patch at the same time. I fear its the last one. I hope a patch is close to release because i,m seriously considering not playing it at all unless the patch is released or another jaw dropping mod is released.

The worst part is the in game synch takes 10+ seconds and I have synching turned OFF...

Yes, that is somewhat annoying. I hope they get a patch out soon, there are some things mods simply cannot fix (yet).

Hopefully the longer they are taking means the more they are fixing.
As for the syncing time, I haven't noticed it taking too long. Might just be due to I always have 10 things to do. So any loading type screen I see I am off doing something else. lol

Quite honestly though, all the bugs I have seen so far were fixed by mods. I mean the AI could definitely be improved, but it isn't a huge deal so far.

10+ seconds? It can take as long as 5 minutes !

I hope the patch taking so long means we will see some of the missing features.

With regards to old saves, when creating a new save there is the option to delete old ones.

Never has a screw-up regarding saves yet and I have ( for the hell of it ) added mods mid-patrol, actually uninstalled all mods, old version of JSGME, installed new version, re-installed mods and loaded up a save and it worked fine.

Really? I mean really? There must be wide differences in behavior from geographical/connection and PC specs as I have no problems with saves synchronizing quickly, or in game saves which take about 2-3 seconds. I do, however, have a new PC at long last after five years with the old dear. I wonder what the thresholds are?
