I have to mention that this happens since the patch, never saw a completely stuck convoy before. As I said before, I don't use any mod, except 1 for clouds improvements and I plan to stay "clean" and play only with the stock game without any alteration.

Okay, yes, that happens in SH3 all the time. An escort will try to make its way to the rear of the convoy by heading directly into the formation. Doesn't work out so well, but the cargo haulers do eventually find their way back into formation. So, from what I gather in reading your post, they had that issue solved in SH5? Might be one of those things I look forward to.

here is one positive feedback:

I stopped the campaign (with V1.1.5) because the last patrol wasn´t documented when finishing the first campaign (Total war); second I didn´t get the medals and points to put into the abilities of my crew.

The developers have fixed it

; even it isn´t shown in the changelog of V1.2, now. They showed it before releasing of the patch on the UBI support page.

Now all my patrols are documented.

not impressed! same issues as before, mouse lag, when surfaced water is still up to neck of submariners when on deck.

what a waste of money, the DRM still sucks and so do UBISOFT. this product was released unfinished.

not buying any ubisoft product again.

I can't get the new patch to install. The game doesn't automatically load the patch. So I tried to run gu.exe
(located in the Support/GameUpdater folder). It looked like it download the patch then it locked up with a message saying that sh5.exe stopped working. Now whenever I run gu.exe it locks up almost immediately. I can still run the game by opening it normally, but the opening screen shows version 1.15. I bought the game from the Impulse download service, if that make any difference. Does anybody have any idea what I need to do?

I'm just glad to have made the decision not to buy this game. DRM was the reason, but now there appear to be MANY more. What a damn shame, I was really looking forward to a new sub sim. Oh well, I'm still pretty happy with SH4 anyway.

I think I'm gonna go into the SH4 forums and post in some feedback thread about how I've uninstalled the game and ground up my DVDs to make into marbles and how much happier I am with SH5.

Oh wait, no, I'm not going to do that. That would just be silly.

I have only a handful of Mods now (prior to v1.2 the list was long!) and I am enjoying SH5 very much. I recommend some radio Mods to make it all the more immersive

You guys who are flat-out not buying SH5 because of the DRM need to get with the programme. DRM is here to stay and protesting its existence is like insisting that the Earth is flat. If you like Subsims, then SH5 is essential and it's only 20 bucks for chrissakes!

Is the one for the BBC?
I am using Grossdeutscher Rundfunk and enjoying it alot adds to the immersion. But would love to have a English one also so I could listen to a station that I fully understand. The wife is half German and speaks the language fluently she gets real pissed with me constantly saying "what is he saying / what does this mean?"

Yeah, I am missing the BBC one too. I had it, but accidentally deleted it when I did a reinstall and now it's nowhere to be found on this forum

. The Rundfunk Radio Mod is an awesome start though

Ah I see Carotio has a BBC one as part of his Intercontinental Radio mod. But im not going to download a 5Gb mod just for one radio station.
Also I remember the was a guy who had a mod for the gramophone in SH3 that has news items and songs for each year of the war. In English and German. Might have that hiding around on my external H/D somewhere.
I'm sure a BBC radio station will turn up at some point in the future.

SabreHawk · 05-14-10, 03:07 PM

The gramaphone, and the radio are two differnt things. The gramaphone is a record player, the radio is well.... a radio.

But both of them can be used, and only takes one little line in their commands in the commands.cfg.
Yes the devs should have done this but by now Im beginning to see whats happening in those labs.
And that is that too much is being attempted all at once and simple little things like this are getting lost in the shuffle.

An old saying that I've heard is, "He who tries to do too much too soon, accomplishes too little too late."
And I know all too well how little stuff can get ignored in leu of bigger things crowding in. It's easy to get lost and not see the forest for the trees. And then there is the pressure which adds to it.

I have a cousin who works at microsoft, and when I listen to the stuff he tells about, it's a wonder to me that any software gets out the door that works at all with the extreme pressure that developers are under, and the snafu situations that develop as a result.

Way too many of the thing that were said to be "fixed" aren't

ReFaN · 05-15-10, 08:30 AM

Installed the patch, game crashes when trying to run.

reinstal, clean all files.

Run without update, works well, update the game.

crash on start. Thanks =p
