Silent Hunter 5 patch v1.1

[Powerthighs]

Ubi is far from perfect, but the Vista/Win 7 issues are not on them. No game should be installed into Program Files with these operating systems, especially ones that you expect to mod or patch often. You are just asking for trouble.

That is why most games, SH5 included, no longer default to the Program Files folder when installing. If you re-direct it there.. well I don't think that is Ubi's fault.

There are many worthy things to bash Ubi on lol, but this one is all Microsoft.

I would agree with this, except for the fact that THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE SINCE VISTA WAS RELEASED MORE THAN TWO YEARS AGO!

Windows provides easy ways for programs to write per user and per machine data to the right place. The fact that more than two years later newly developed programs still aren't doing this is an epic fail on the part of game developers.
