A major bug is a bug that breaks the game, most of the bugs mentioned here we're not

Ah, dear AOTD_MadMax. We are trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here but you are not helping anything. Look, some of this is just semantics so you may want to just overlook a bit of it.

Raptor1 is trying to deploy what is known as humor. Sort of like a Bold 1 launcher that fires off good feelings instead of chemicals that make bubbles in seawater. Maybe instead of firing depth charges at him you could, say, relax.

What I might refer to as a bug is simply something that is not as it should be with the game. It doesn't necessarily have to crash the game. That would be a pretty bad bug. Yes, computer viruses can crash computers too but that doesn't necessarily have to be their function (or dis-function depending on your point of view).

Hope this helps!

And "Greets" to you too.

Back to business at hand: couldn't UBI team just re-work the program to fix the transparency issue so we wouldn't have to work around it by turning off features?

A long time ago one of the developers stated that the transparency could not be fixed without a major re-write of the code.

It would be nice if you could let me know.

This is for the downloaded version. Online activation is required. Also, there is now a SecuROM directory in my "Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data" which has an update date as of my last time playing. No disc needed, though. No SecuROM service installed, either. Registry has a SecuROM entry (not in services, but in software).

1944 U-Boat Campaign

I must have a nuclear-powered sub; started in Batavia, am now patrolling off Brisbane, and still have 100% fuel.

Are you sure you didn't accidentally click off the Limited Fuel thing?

My machine is borderline for 1.4: ASUS A7N8X, Athlon XP 3000+, 7600GT, SB Live! card (ie not using on-board sound). I get in the mid-20s with 1.4 / Trigger Maru / RSRDC. No ROW, because ROW puts the framerates around 15, which is unusable. Mid-20s is usable, I know that comes as a shock to you guys who have frame rates in the 100s.

1.5 puts framerate at 14. This is on the bridge, nice weather, calm seas. It's unusable. I bet it's because of the ROW stuff added.

It's clicked on. I always keep limited everything with perfect torpedoes.

Raptor1 · 03-02-08, 01:41 PM

That is weird...or...Yup, your sub must be nuclear then

Some of the gauges in the control room of the IX-D2 are the wrong way round

For 10 Bucks one can not even expect that Ubisoft has run some sort of quality assurance over this product
