Silent failure 5. Losing my optimism.

I don't remember which game it was, but I had so much trouble just getting the dang thing to run long enough to enjoy the gameplay that I finally gave up on it. Pretty frustrating when that happens. It was patched later on and ran just fine thereafter. Hopefully that happens for SH5.

Unfortunately Oscar19681 is right! SH5 was released as alpha-beta version which means it is much more buggy and unfinished than SH3 and SH4 were in time of their release. In return this means I am not sure SH5 can be acceptably fixed by modders alone. If UBI Soft really abandons SH5 its future is rather dark, I think.
SH5 developer should make available one-two patches bug-fixing vanilla game to a point it will be playable with most annoying hard-coded shortcomings removed and basic features fully functional. Only such SH5 version could become a basis for creation of large super-mods.

The big question for me is? Is SH5s Dev team still employed, with UBIs current condition, I dont know.

I'm sure most of these dev companies are on contract terms.

yea, I guess they would be.

I'm sorry Oscar, that truly sucks. I know how even one CTD can ruin an entire night. I had the same issues with Enigma: Rising Tide and have never touched the game since. It's obvious that everyone has made their minds up about SH5 and either enjoy it or can't stand it. Like so many have said, just give it time and either UBI or the Modders will make it into the game everyone expects. Otherwise, hopefully UBI won't pull the franchise and we can hope for a better SH6 with something for everyone. I think it'd be great if they went back to the Pacific campaign and just alternated every game. It'd be awesome to have the technology behind SH5 with a Gato class sub.
