ndvsky · 03-30-10, 05:45 PM

Good News!!!

The end of beta 1.1.5 version is near, maybe a retail version finally!

Thats great news, at least there will be some support for SH5.
With all the flaming at release its not great they didn't just close up shop on the sub sim scene.
Glad to see there fixing some of the problems, hope they get to the ranges not sending to stadimeter in the near future though.

Looking forward to the 12th.

You can be sure it's the subsim community on here and others that let them know there effort to the subsim world is valued, and like all the releases of SH series, there have been bugs.

Plus if they fix the game and people on here recognize it, they will let others know whom haven't bought the game with world of mouth, recommending it in the patched final product. cause then it will actually be an awesome experience. that and the mod community is still around, and more old schoolers will join in once it's fixed im sure.

only remaining issue then is the internet all the time DRM, needs an offline feature... (not that i have had problems, 1 hang up so far, and i don't seem to join when theres these "down time" issues...)

The second SH5 patch will be released on April 12th.

Below you can find the list of fixes/changes:

•Fix for CO2 not being saved correctly
•Fix for crew morale.
•Fix for weather being reset to clear weather after load.
•Fixes for crewmen showing under water under certain conditions
•Fixes for ships exploding in ports for unapparent reasons or hitting the shore
•Now waypoint tools are not accessible in bunker anymore
•Compass added
•Return to course added
•Several fixes to ship recognition manual
•Depth under keel added
•Morale reaching 0 bug fixed
•Several crew abilities (like man the deck gun and man the flack gun don’t cost morale anymore)
•Several crew animation and interaction fixes
•Fixed performance problems inside submarine
•Shadow optimizations
•Fixed very slow eye light adaptation after a lost device (alt-tab)
•Fixed selection contour being visible when a character was already selected
•Fixed a bug where the moon was closer than it should
•Fixed a bug where the sun disk would be visible underneath thick cloud cover
•Environmental lighting and effects improvements
•Improvements on particle performance on single core processors
•Fixed torpedo doors
•Fixed torpedo propeller (not turning)
•Fixed electric torpedoes trail
•Fixed spawn radius for some convoys (previously spawned on the shore)
•Fixed several dials that were not working inside the submarine
•Ports in the north Africa in the German territory are under enemy occupation
•South Africa supplies: The existence of another ship that looks identically with the targeted one may generate confusion
•No more crewmen on burning ships
•Fixed a bug where the player can get stuck in the sub's outer hatch geometry
•Crewmen on deck change clothes during bad weather
•German language localization fixes

Jesus was all that really broken?

And this is the second patch???

I don't dare imagine what the status of the game was when released

Let's see how far they go with patching and where they do stop. Hopefully they reach the customary four patches, and if the remaining two ones are as loaded with content as these, the game is definitively looking much better in perspective. Cross fingers that UBI allows the Devs to do their job and does not cut the patching short

Well there are some things that aren't in that list that are rather important, but my hopes are that it isn't all that will be in the final release.

One thing that to me is very important is losing all the map plotting(with the exception of your plotted course.) And any maps contacts that were showing when you left. But perhaps this will be part of the save fix reguarding weather.

But it is a good list of stuff I must say.

There's probably already a list and work being done for patch 1.3, and a list for 1.4. You can only get so much done for an April 12 release. Basic software development.

Thanks for the update, sounds like a serious patch.

My new SH5 discbox arrived this morning so I'll be mucking about with the current release not taking it too seriously until the patch is out.

St. Cobra · 03-31-10, 12:31 PM

Great news! I hope this means they are getting some sales with the game and this is not the end of the Silent Hunter series.

Winders · 03-31-10, 12:32 PM

Excellent - and my copy is in the post....

I have a theory; We are UBI, then ...

If making a game costs 100, making a half costs 50 and we are saving the time too.
Well, we release the half-game, no matter what happens, the hardcore gamers, who loves the game, impulse purchase that product. Subsimmers are very tough gamers. Money is coming...
There are, too, a well trained comunity capable of modding the game and make it works. Of couse, this people works for free, they love the game too. And Ubi loves them.
We, UBI, are "supporting" the game, of course. we´ll make patches that fix all those bugs, found by gamers(now testers
too). No need beta-testers at all.

Time passing...

Subsimmers comunity modding...

Money still arriving guys. .!

Comunity effors eventually gets the game works properly... Who cares! we are already thinking about the next game...

Here it comes..... All hail Silent Hunter ? !!!

Come About!! Patch 2 Gentlemen, hip hip hoorah. Such sober sense i now observe. Dare i be so sanguine as to hope every possible measure into said patch be of 1st order, and attended with good favour amongst our community. Good stuff

rsslcs · 03-31-10, 04:18 PM

This would be the ultimate irony if the patch turned out to be an april fool's.
