SH5 patch #2 - Page 20

M4XDmG · 04-20-10, 09:42 AM

Is this real? Can't find words how fustrated I feel now... I really like this game, even with it's flaws, but this patch bulls&#t is something I just don't understand. And this is the first time ever I've been actually waiting for a patch for any game. Feel so disappointed now...

Obviously they have found some issues with the fixes that make it inelligible for release. Do you really think they get up every morning thinking of ways to upset you? D

Both Subsim.com and the Ubi forums are already full of clever posters talking about how the new patch will probably be full of new bugs. So when they take some extra time to try to make sure this doesn't happen what is the reaction? People start complaining that they can't get a patch that clearly wasn't ready for release.

You can't have it both ways people. Either you can roast Ubisoft for rushing the game out in an incomplete fashion, or you can roast them for not rushing out a patch that would be in the same condition. Which is it?

Think it over and get back to me.

That is a fair point but when does patience run out and anger take it's place? I really am annoyed although I acknowledge, anger is going to get me nowhere. Quite frankly, the game should have come out complete, it shouldn't have been sold as a complete game when in reality we were charged for beta testing it.
I also understand that sometimes things can get missed so a patch is required but if it is promised on a certain time then it should be delivered. I'm a patient kind of guy so I can understand the fact that maybe something came up at the last minute last time but for it to happen again is either one of the following:
Incompetence
contempt for the customer
or both

In no other business on Earth would this kind of service be acceptable, it is as simple as that

Given the amount and quality of support for the US players with regards to their forums, website updates, fixes to the game and timely communication, yes. Yes I do think they get up every morning thinking of ways to upset me.

Oh well, I'm off to track down some convoys. At least this game is in playable state. I just wish the patch will be out someday...

Are those really the only two possibilites that you can think of?

Really?

Well basically, yeah. There may be variations of those but they still come down to those two

Mmmmh, wait just a minute, so they have decided to make ONE good and polished patch to finish the game as it should have been when released ?

Let me think about it ... this will take months !!

Why not release a stable 1.2.5 patch this week along a list of known remaining issues.
So we "casual testers" can actualy help with more feedback for a next 1.3.5 patch rather than staying here without any informations on what's going on.

Personnaly I would be more than happy to help you guys out, I feel so lonely and useless and also I hate waiting in the dark not knowing where I am going?

If that is not possible, please be at least more communicative with us poor lonesome kaleuns.

Anyway keep up the good work.

No matter about the new release date (one two or three weeks from now). That's the perfect way to loose customers. I don't understand why they released the game in march.
I seriously would have preferred to wait until may and have a better game, instead of being strung along by ubisoft delay after delay.
For the future i really hope that a REAL developer/publisher will make another subsim, we can only take advantage from a little competition.

Gotta agree, I'm pretty sure we'd all run screaming from UBI if we had a better alternative - better as in "hey guys, let's sell you something that looks and acts a bit more like a finished product". Would UBI release a game as unfinished as SH5 if they had any competition? I doubt it. So is customer care at the top of their priority list? Hardly.

As is, UBI's product is all we have, so they can pretty much do what they like, and we're left with this state of affairs, where people are either raging, losing interest, or conjuring up soothing excuses for what is basically an unacceptable state of affairs.

I'm hoping the "no longer being released" is a mistranslation of "not today"...

the google-translation is not correct. In the german version it says the that the patch is no longer released today. In german it says "Leider muß ich euch mitteilen, dass der Patch heute nicht mehr released werden wird. " The keyword missing in the google-translation is "heute", meaning "today".

Athlonic · 04-20-10, 02:05 PM

Personnaly, I am fed up with all of this !

Going back to Silent Hunter 3 ... err wait ... no it's too ugly

Going to play Assassin Creed 2 which is a blast and bug free, just have to ask Leonardo DaVinci to build me an Uboat.
Should do the trick.

See ja on next week guys !

From what I understand, the Patch release date is now cancelled as the patch is not in a workable state. Ubisoft will henceforth let us know, I hope, when a workable Patch 1.2 will be available for release.
Whatever the case, it's not a very good state of affairs.

Should have known, Santa and the Easter Bunny are also fiction, just as is the release of this patch anytime soon. I'll check back in six months, until then, a sunny summer awaits, and I'm not waiting around here for some guys in Romania to figure out what they can't figure out. I now 100 percent REFUSE to buy any game which I can not beforehand download and play a WORKABLE demo to see how it will run..otherwise, you might as well throw your cash to the wind, just as here.
