Holiday! You got to be sh*tting me, I'd be sacked from my employer if I left in the middle of a mess like this. That can't be right, someone is having a laugh right?

If its going through beta testing I can accept there being a pause in development, that is understandable.

This is quite common in the game industry, the whole team going on vacation after a product release, and I'd assumed it had already happened. One of the reasons given in mid-March for no patch announcement till the end of March was that most of the devs were on holiday...

Hi all,

I know this is my first post, but I just had to reply to the "going on holiday" bit. This is a translation error, the original post isn't referring to any holiday at all!

Original:

Hallo Leute,

Wir haben eben mit den SH5 Entwicklern gesprochen und sie nach klaren Informationen zum Release des neuen Silent Hunter 5 Patches gebeten.

Leider können wir euch an dieser Stelle nicht mehr sagen als "Er ist unterwegs". Zeitlich können wir euch keine eindeutige Vorstellung geben. Richtet euch aber auf einen Release in der zweiten Maiwoche ein.

Ja, wir sind darüber auch nicht erfreut und haben auf eine frühere Verfügbarkeit gehofft. Leider können wir daran nichts ändern.

Wir halten euch auf dem Laufenden.

Gruß,
Marc

My translation:

Hello people,

we have just spoken with the SH5 devs and we asked them information about the release of the next SH patch.

Unfortunately, we cannot give you more information at the moment than "it's underway". At the moment we can't give you an exact date for the release. Expect a release in the second week of May.

Yes, we are not pleased with this situation, and we're hoping on an earlier release. Unfortunately, we can't change anything about it.

We will keep you updated.

Greetings,

Marc

So no holidays reported! :P

Glad to be of service,

Stefan.

Danke Stefan!
Welcome to the community.
I bet there will be a few red faces around here.

Ok so someone was having a laugh with the translation, which basically means there is no change and no news other than the forum moderator being less than pleased.

Welcome aboard Stefan! I can understand your confusion, the holiday thing was in reference to this later post:

Die Entwickler sind total in den Urlaub. Ehrlich. Ich würde nicht von so einem Ding liegen. Du kannst mir mehr Vertrauen, als Sie Ihre eigenen Mutter vertrauen. Ihr Pflaster wird nie herauskommen, Sie schon hinters Licht geführt. Ich bin überrascht, es gibt eine deutsche Übersetzung für "hinters Licht geführt".

Was there also a translation error with that one?

" sind total in den Urlaub"
Can be taken out of context, that one,
do you have a link to this post? Over there? in the German forums? Would need to see the whole posts surrounding that one, could be a saying, as in: the devs are just totally not here", perhaps the poster is saying that the devs are not "with it" with this game, exactly translated, what you quoted "the devs are totally on holidays"
that doesn't make sense. German can't always be translated exactly into english.
I will still go with the comments posted at the start of this thread.

I had a look and there's nothing about it on the English language Ubi forum. I guess it would be helpful if they posted this information on all the official forums, instead of just the German one.

This is the whole post in German :

"Hallo Leute,

Microsoft translates it as:

"Hello people,.

We have spoken with the SH5 developers and they asked for clear information about the release of new Silent Hunter 5 patches.

Unfortunately, we can say no longer you at this point as "He is on the road". Over time we can give you no unique idea. Set up but to a release in the second Maiwoche you.

Yes, we are also not pleased and hoped earlier availability. Unfortunately we can not change it.

We keep you informed.

Regards,
Marc"


Why do I suspect that we've been trolled?

You have been, but you're both talking about different "posts".

The babelfish translation

Hello of people, We spoke the SH5 evenly with developers and asked them after clear information for release new silent of the Hunter 5 Patches. Unfortunately we cannot say you here any longer than " It is unterwegs". Temporally we cannot give you a clear conception. Furnishes you however on release in the second May week. Yes, we are pleased and for an earlier availability did not hope over it also. Unfortunately we can change in it nothing. We hold you up to date. Greeting, Marc
