What do I do download the patch and be ready for when the game gets here?

Thanks Ubi ... won't be long till I see those smiley's on the radar scope

That patch is not released yet. They did however that they will release it 'soon'.

NOW LETS THIS BE A WARNING!! TO ALL THE WHINERS AND COMPLAINERS WHO now say they they dont want to buy the game, BUY IT ASAP, because then they get money then they are motivated to release patches.

I TOLD YOU SO!!



whiners get the game... end of discussion

An UBISoft-moderator on the official german forum wrote that the patch will be released tomorrow, and that it will be around 160 MB.

I'm glad that they're providing a much needed patch so quickly, but this again sounds like the "release the game no matter what its current status is, we can simply offer the customers a couple hundred MB of patches later..."-routine so many publishers today seem to rely on.

well considerin its only been out a little over 24hrs am happy to hear anything about a patch from them, let alone a early fix list. Dude it took eagames like 8months after releaseing BF2 before a patch was out.

I got 3 TBS, ill be fine... righ??

Excellent news mates!

I don't have the game yet, but I'll get it, and it'll be fun to have a new patch to download straight away, so I won't see all the bugs....

[Iron Budokan]

Good news. But one wonders what the casual gamer who normally doesn't hang around bubblehead forums will do when he buys the game and doesn't know there's a patch available? I don't guess there's any way these people can be contacted and informed of these fixes...? Reminds me of the olden days when I had AOD and didn't know anything about a "community".

So Joe Lunchbox (or Sally Housecoat) buys this game, tries to play it and gets turned off from sub sims forever because of the unfinished feel. Kind of a bummer.

Sure, SH3 had problems, but I don't remember stock SH3 having this much furor over the rawness of the product. Didn't UBI make more money from the casual gamer buying SH3, not hardcore sub simmers like me and others who frequently inhabit these forums? Dunno. But again while I remember complaining about SH3 being "unfinished" when it came out, I don't remember it being this negative.

Then again I have trouble remembering what happened yesterday....

I'm really looking forward to Neal's review. I think that's going to tell us a lot and answer some currently unanswered questions and fears we all have regarding this game. Therefore, I am waiting patiently...but with my wittle heart going pitter patter.

[geetrue]

I read and I read and I read while waiting for my copy of SH4 and I didn't even know some of those things in the patch were a problem yet ...

I really look forward to these additions in the patch:

I am guessing by exclusion in the update list and silence from Ubisoft in general on the topic that the fixed resolution isn't going to be address anytime soon if at all?
