Out of curiosity...why does everyone think a patch will fix the issues?

[Capt.LoneRanger]

- FSAA doesn't work with the in-game "bloom" enhancements turned on (to be fair, they are trivial effects. Makes the sun, moon, and lights look more realistic...but that's about it. Still, it was the only post-processing the game did.)

I also doubt this will be fixed by a patch, as it is a hardware-problem of pre 8xxx nVidia-Cards. Unless the patch orders you an 8800 or an ATI card or adds software FSAA, which would be quite stupid, I doubt it will change anything.

Other than that, if you think SH3 is great and the patch didn't help the bugs, why do you find it that good? Because of the mods? Well, then you should be happy to have SHIV, as it is the same community and they will do similar threads for sure.
