It seems SH5 is finished as far as UBI is concerned.

IMO, the thing to do then would be to just forget about getting any more help from UBI and either move on (or back) to other games... or jump into the mod action. The question I have is, can all that's seriously wrong with this game be fixed with mods? If too many (and one may be too many) of the really significant short comings are not accessible to modders, then it may not be worth the effort.

I'd really like to know the answer to that one.

Silent Hunter is dead?! Of course it's dead. Nothing but smoke and mirrors runaround by Ubisoft. A great way to treat paying customers.

And how anyone here could defend Ubisoft and their horrible business practices is beyond me. There will not be another SH5 patch. It's over. Finished. I will go even one further. Ubisoft as a company nearing it's demise. As of now, they are fighting for their very survival. Their stock values have lost over 90% in the last couple of years. I predict that they won't exist as a company within 1-2 years.
