SH5, the death of a franchise.

tommo8993 · 08-02-10, 07:56 AM

As you may know ubisoft has said that they are no longer working on SH5 that means no patches,no DLC, no improvements. This is down to poor sales and the fact that they would not make any money from improving the game.
The poor sales are mainly down to the DRM, this is why i haven't bought it and why i imagine most fans haven't. Also it was released way t early, if they released it now with about 4 months more development it may of worked.

So the writings on the wall, with no finacial gain in making another silent hunter game we can assume that UBI will not make one. So SH5 is the end of the line.

What? You don't like threads about sky color? Or maybe you think someone who likes red sky at night doesn't have an opinion worth posting! It's people like you who drag this forum down to the depths of the...of the...darkest depths, you Subsim zombie, you!

Oh, you meant the death of SH5! Well, umpteen may not be enough, you know.

+1 is always better.

Or so I've heard.

What!? Ubisoft did it to me again. On my Vizio hokey kokey 5MB GTX video card it looks orange! That's it...I'm never buying a Ubisoft product again. And why does my game say 'install Starforce to resolve this issue'?

The graphic is only compatible with a certain model of KrashTech video card. Please purchase the newest, most expensive KrashTech video card, and update the drivers to the latest payware drivers available from our website. Also, be sure that the KrashFizziks software (a separate payware download) is properly installed and that you have a functioning MatLab suite running on a cluster. Any divergence from the above will result in an orange, or possibly even chartreuse, graphic.

You have misread the dialog, and we certainly do not make typographic errors here. Install the Purchaser Identification/Tracking Drivers and that should resolve the issue.

That is strange. Starforce is only for the sky at night.

Ah yes, that very long running Brit tv programme that was hosted by Sir Patrick Moore

robbo180265 · 08-02-10, 10:36 AM

Patrick Moore needs Starforce? Don't tell me you need a permanent internet connection too?

Arclight · 08-02-10, 12:38 PM

This is just silly, even by SubSim standards.

i was trying to prove a point, i didn't have time to read trough the entire forum to realize that there are loads of topics like this.

Do you have time to post a link to the sales figures you have? I haven't seen any yet and if you have access to them, it would be good to have a look at them. I've not known Ubi to release sales figures before for the SH series, so this is a turn up for the books. Also a link to the report giving the cause of the poor sales would also be interesting reading.

Oh yes and if there has been a definite announcement that there will be further patches or DLC then that would enable some modding to be started without fear of a patch or DLC killing it all, because so far they have said is 'there is no dev team at the moment, but things could change' so a definite no would be good, if it can be confirmed. Have you got a link?

So if I want red sky at morning I need SecureRom? Or do I have to wait for a mod?
