Patch No.2 - DELAYED 4/20/2010 [Master Thread]

Bilge_Rat · 04-20-10, 10:40 AM

could be many reasons, software is complex. A fix they put in may not work as expected, may create other bugs, beta testers may have seen a last minute issue, it may have taken more time than expected to code various fixes, etc.

since it appears to have popped up at the last minute, I am leaning more to a bug fix not working as expected or beta testers seeing a new unexpected side effect.

I worked as a beta tester before and you would be amazed how many issues are only spotted at the last minute, even with the best of intentions.

Agreed! I bet they haven't done anything to fix the game. There's just no funds for them to fix something for free that few people find to be an enjoyable game. The game was a flop from day 1 and UBI has other "high priority" games that it's focusing on. Silent Hunter 5 is not a priority at all. I won't be surprised if the patch is just canceled flat out.

I think they delay it just to foster forum traffic and help with the per clicks sponsers

Oh that and just to piss you off.
