So thanks to Doomlordis, The General and all others who have "Booed" Ubisoft !

[The General]

Anytime

Lets hope the 11th it is!

Well I guess that puts to rest the notion they were fixing more stuff. That is obviously the same sparse list of fixes we saw long ago.

To be fair, while we're been waiting for this second required (and oft promised) patch Ubisoft has released Splinter Cell Conviction and patched it twice, released Settler's 7 and patched it four times, patched Assassin's Creed 2 and announced a sequel to both HAWX and AC 2... sooo... yeah.

It's actually quite a bit shorter...

Yeah, I was sure I saw a more extensive list somewhere....

Maybe just reworded.

Here's the missing stuff from the original patch notes back in late March:

•Shadow optimizations
•Fixed very slow eye light adaptation after a lost device (alt-tab)
•Crewmen on deck change clothes during bad weather

Then all the "Sorry you've waited three weeks, but wait one more and you also get this!" stuff is missing too:

•SH4 ships can now be imported (useful for modders).
•Improvements in the reward system for U-boats in the dynamic campaign
•Improvements to the AI
•Changes to accommodate RU localization will therefore be present in patch 1.2, but will not affect players in a visible form.

Three weeks after the "wait one more week" (a month late from the originally promised release date) we're finally told it'll just be one more week and here's the new stuff we get (minus the old stuff listed above that's apparently been missed/removed/broke/whatever):

- All multiplayer maps will display the same map info as the map on the solo campaign

[Jack Davidson]

Yeah, that's it... they were the things I remember seeing.....

Just went to the Ubi SH5 forum myself and found the thread/list too....

Can really only mean one thing:
Silent Hunter 5 is not their priority (anymore)...
I've said it before, as others have, this does not bode well for further support ie patches etc.
I think this may well be the last we'll see of patches and further support.
The orig. list has been shortened, a case of them saying: "hey, we're onto more important and popular projects, but we better get something out, since we communicated that a while back".
I've always been optimistic about this game and it's future...
I just hope i'm wrong.

I think you are probably right. Assuming that sales were not what they expected , they've probably decided to concentrate on other more popular games.

We'll just have to wait and see.

It seems they hate us.

I think SH5 is the end of the SH series
