Then again, it does make it easier for players not wishing to use this method
AAh! Someone from the old school.......
Hehe, I got hardcore subskipper on the subsim quiz. I don't mind using math to find out speed. Most the time I estimate or use the little short cuts, but if it is an important target, i'll break out the old school methods. I find it is the only time I ever really use trig...

Where did you read this was the complete, all-encompassing and final changelog?

Been out for a while and was waiting for bugs to be fixed before ordering SH4, this being the second patch and all of the old crew (not the youngins that are flaming) seem to be happy I just ordered the game. Thanks devs and also thanks to the mod makers out there that I am seeing great things from as usual, you guys rock!!!

Now I am off to continue my GWX patrol

have to say the patch list does look a bit on the small side, i wasnt expecting it till at least next month. shouldnt there be a bit more work done on the AI a ive read quite a few reports of problems such as

convoys stopping when being attacked
ships runnng aground
destroyer AI issues
enemy convoys/ships sailing into friendly ports
receiving same patrol grid mission repeated over and over

i havent got SH4 yet but depending on how this patch is received (out early next week right?) i will buy it next weekend

Default save game loading fixed?

Just wondering if 1.2 fixed the crashing when loading games from a career... I cant see it on the list but I live in hopes.

Pleeeease dont reply with "FYI I can load games fine" , really doesnt help. I saw this bug on the tracker and thought that it would have been classed as a major one.... the eye candy has been added but this one not fixed hmmmm.

anyone know?

Neil stated its a feature of the game developers care about. I don't see why people even argue whether this feature should be in or not. The fact is its part of the game and at the moment its broken and is expected to be fixed. Now, lets hope it gets fixed as soon as possible because hey you never know how many patches this game will receive. Nothing is certain, remember this.

Absolutely.

Heck, I'd wait another 4 to 6 weeks if need be. I've been quite happily playing the game using manual targeting and a manual method of calculating my target's speed. Although I will continue to use this method, that doesn't change the fact that the chrono is currently broken and not working as intended. What may be a non critical issue for you and I, makes it no less a high priority for others.

The bottom line is, if given a choice between a short wait and a quick fix patch, or a longer wait for a thorough and comprehensive patch, I'd choose the latter. Before anyone gets all bent out of shape, I'm not suggesting the upcoming patch is of the sloppy and quick fix variety, quite the contrary -- just the casual musings of a fan of the game.

Whilst I generally agree, I prefer to see them focus their efforts on a small number of areas at any one time - get it out the door working, and then refocus on something else. As opposed to one giant leviathan where everything is being worked on.

To begin process, left-click on the clock icon on the data tool. This will take the first sighting and begin counting the time. It is best to have the target locked at this moment. When satisfied with the expened time - longer is better - left-click again. This will conclude the measurement and display the results.

Page 70 of the manual? WTF, my manual only goes to page 60. Christ, they didn't even finish my manual. I demand a manual patch, mines bugged.

Just kidding, seriously though, what's with the differing manuals, mines a UK version BTW.

I can't call the chronometer not working a "game breaking" bug as there's a million ways to find target speed. "Game breaking" is when you can't for whatever reason accomplish the tasks set out before you in the game.

Ah well. I'm happy to have a patch. Some people will never be satisfied. An Ubisoft rep could show up on their doorstep with a bottle of champagne and 10 girls in bikinis, and they'd complain that the booze wasn't cold enough and the girls weren't hot enough.

Don't suppose there is any chance 1.2 will be released for the weekend?

So glad to hear about FSAA and Resolution issues. I honestly haven't played since the day of release because of this.

I could overlook all those things if the Ubi rep was toting a super computer that would allow me to run the game full max.....no complaints...

Great to have patch coming

And to all complainers: If you want all bugs fixed in one or two patches, you'll see the patch maybe next year... Be happy that some of the bugs are being fixed and patches aren't taking months. This way you get better gaming experience step by step. The other choice would cause playing in frustration for months...

Ok, that was just an opinion, so don't axe me

Instead you complainers could feel our non-complainers joy and world would be a better place... did I mention world peace?
