I wounder if there are any news of a new patch or was the last patch the last patch, I must admit that i havent play mutch with the game, it someting with the game that make me not like it..cant set my finger on it, one thing i dont like as i guess are more then me is how the campaing is working. I wants to pick when i wants to start the campaing. gets tired to not be abel to do that. I know that is a mod for that, but no points to do anyting if I skip.

SH5 is like a living thing . The DRM meant that SH5 needed to be on life support . The DRM rantings cut the legs off and arms off and it was bleeding to death before we could get to it . TheDarkWraith and other modders have been bandaging and giving life support . Some people just want to see it die . Some people pulled the life support , and some people just love the bright clothes its wearing (joke) . So if the people stopped kicking it in the ribs or just stopped praying for it to die or thought that maybe the life support could be pulled early and still live ...........too many beers .

Judging by the new comm dev's response here there won't be one anytime soon, if ever. If I should extrapolate the answer from previous actions by Ubi and other companies in similar situations I'd lean towards "never".

I'd recommend reading this thread before jumping to conclusions

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=171999

Specifically this post where SH5's future is outlined (albeit cryptically)

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...&postcount=157

And then maybe ask yourself - How can I help?

While your comments are fair and do mention the 'other side', I singled out this one, since it could be just as easily argued that DRM itself cut the legs off. The question had nothing to do with DRM or the "bright clothes" - he just wanted news on the patch, not speculations of why the news might be one thing or the other.

That same comment could also be construed as ranting.

Yup.
I'll even say they abandoned ship before making SH5. That's the only explanation for it.

Others have answered your question about the future of another patch.

I will just add that I 100% agree with you merlin. I do NOT like how the current mission system puts the player into a narrow track and feel it totally destroys the immersiveness of an open game. General guidance (ala SH3 missions) is much more preferable and realistic to the current mission system.

Only the power of enthusiasm can wake this dead peace of crap again.. The more I think about SH5 the more I feel the termination of GWX4 was a fail.

And the more I read statements like that the more I understand why some members will never give SH5 a fair chance.....

Sorlim offers a ray of hope....maybe not a very bright one, but a ray of hope.

The first priority is not about removing the DRM for people like me who have not yet purchased the game. The first priority is to get another patch for those who have purchased the game.

If sorlim was to manage to get another patch out of ubisoft, then that would be huge in my book.

As there is no active UBI Dev team working on SHV it seems any fix/patch in the near future will becoming from the Subsim community and our very talented modders.
