Yeah!

Why is it so hard to answer this:

Yes, Silent Hunter 5 is still being supported by Ubisoft Romania and there will be at the very least a "final patch" for the game, details of which will be coming within 1 month. Thanks for your patience.

Or

No, Silent Hunter 5 is no longer being supported by Ubisoft Romania and there will not be another patch for the game nor any possible add-on in the future. Thanks for your past support.

Or perhaps they don't have any plan at all.

Poor guy. They threw him into a rabid dog pound while wearing milk bone underwear.

robbo180265 · 07-06-10, 02:25 PM

What is the point of a new forum manager who also knows nothing?

Oh wait - they probably get another 4 weeks of fobbing us off with someone new !

UBI is supporting SH5...the DRM is functioning on the UBI server. Looks like support to me.

So yes, UBI is infact supporting SH5 if you look at it this way.

Seriously, much to quiet. I do not see a patch coming. But that is just me I guess.

At least there is something new happening. I wonder if they got the email I sent them trough their HR address some time ago. I attached the link to that thread with the yes or no question along with a funny image edit. I like to think they did forward it to management afterall

yes, dreaming...

Yes, there is finally some movement on the SH5 front, but it is too early to get excited. More to the immediate point, I have empathy for sorlim. The fallout from SH5 made for a bumpy few months here on SubSim, and a rough time to be in the moderator chair. At least there were several of us working together and we had Neal, who is just a first-rate site owner and administrator. Still, we were only third parties; sorlim will have to actually defend the product, something that we never had to do, as he is the face of the company on that forum. Moreover, he will have to go it alone; not an enviable position by any account. The guy needs a team.

What we needed was an official statement on the future of the game. What we got is a stand-up comedian. And a bad one at it.

I agree....he could do with some help and support.

I LMAO at Privateer's response in that thread

"

Posted Tue July 06 2010 17:37 Hide Post"A decision has not been made until now IF a patch will be release OR IF no future patch will come."

Now that's pretty clear to me.
The 'until now' says it all!
The decision was just made to make no decision!
Duhhh!"

Brag · 07-10-10, 09:08 PM

They need someone to say, The DRM thinggy is gone. Otherwise, they are just wasting money.

No DRM, da da, no DRM da da.

And most of us thank you MODS and Neil for hanging in there with our shenanigans

(even mine)

I think sorlim would find an EXCELLENT team HERE at subsim ready to help him out. And that is starting with the thread you put up for CONSTRUCTIVE critism and suggestions for SH5 ...again a big

In fact even ms-kleaneasy has thanked subsim for that thread WOOT! Here http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/t...1851004178/p/8

The only way we shall have any hope to see REAL bug fixes from UBI, and maybe even some loosening up on the source code so our MODDERS can kick arse ...is to be constructive and SHOW UBI a fan base DOES exsist.

I read through the thread over at UBI. I see smoke and mirrors....

I think this great Charles Durning song and dance clip sums up the situation:

"Was that a yes or a no?" "It's a possible maybe..."

I think he is the official face on the dartboard. And, I find it hard to believe the "list of game breakers" cannot get compiled from the months of postings here and at the Ubi forum. That would mean no one there has really paid any attention to the threads so far and made their own shopping list. They want us to filter it down to manageable size, box it, and put a bow on top. Better yet, do all the development as well and hand them patch 1.3 to claim credit for.

The series is all but buried. Only the zombies are left!
