Thanks Neal.
This news will keep SH5 installed and sitting on
my games shelf.
So glad that the game is being worked on.

This is great news!

I'm all the more determined to buy the game now.

Just as soon as they'll let me play it.

Nice list. Now if we could only bring back the level of uncertainty by having our watch crew spot neutral shipping.

dberladyn · 03-30-10, 09:18 AM

You know what I would like fixed?

1). The U-boat pen. When you start out there the sub mysteriously floats up from a submerged position with crew on the deck.

2.) The Uboat pen. While in the Pen or leaving the pen the crew calls out various sightings of ships that are not in visible range.

3.) The Crew on Deck, they keep doing that stupid animation over and over. They shouldn't point unless there is something to point at.

4.) That stupid eye patch! Get rid of it!

5.) Crew Profiles. Man these need work... Who cares if these guys where National Socialists (Nazi's or not). I find the write ups are terrible.

6.) The voices... I don't know about the rest of you but I find them terrible as well. Why didn't they hire German voice actors? They should speak English with a heavy German accent.

7.) Return to Waypoint. Is that ever frustrating not having that!

There's lots more, glad to see somethings I was going to type out are getting fixed. Anyways the few things here I did type out where things I immediately noticed from the first time I played and to me they ruin the immersion factor.

SteamWake · 03-30-10, 09:20 AM

Looks like a pretty comprehensive list.

gutted · 03-30-10, 09:21 AM

Awesome list.

Hopefully i'll be surprised and see these two fixed.. as they are currently my biggest headaches:

Stadimeter - bogus ranges
Hydrophone - can't hear a single thing unless you come to a complete stop.

Pretty much all of that is fixed with the Command Keys mods and the Mighty Fine crew mod.

EAF274 Johan · 03-30-10, 09:27 AM

A good start. If they follow up with more fixes, I think this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship

Immacolata · 03-30-10, 09:33 AM

I am interested. I hope this patch fixes enough problems that those of us who enjoy sub-sims, even those with problems, can try it out and have more fun than non-fun.

Any game that has mods has the same issue with patches. All mod authors need to recheck their mods and update accordingly. Failure to do so can result in mods no longer working or patch fixes getting un-fixed by older files in mods.

This game is no different in that regard.

BlackSpot · 03-30-10, 09:40 AM

Rreverend!

alexradu89 · 03-30-10, 09:41 AM

Great news!

About freaking time too, though it's gonna take a while before they implement it in-game.

SabreHawk · 03-30-10, 09:46 AM

Yes Heritic is right, and why I've kept any mods to it at a minimum, and a log of what I've done so I can undo it easily.
Yes JSMGE is a friend in this regaurd though I have yet to use it. Since I have only done three mods, two of which were only simple cfg entries for just one command each, the other one just the halo/bubble mod.

And have a back up of all original files.

Always be prepared to undo what you do, before you do.
