Silent Hunter 4 Patch 1.1 - Page 11

CrocodileDundee · 03-22-07, 06:34 AM

well, well, what do I know... No patch yet huh?

Don't you think it'd be weird if the patch would be released BEFORE the game?

C'mon guys, be realistic! Maybe 2morrow.

Its not unrealistic. Its more common than you think. Do you really think the devs have been sitting on their arses since they went gold. They knew they were under pressure to reach a deadline and they could do nothing but use the time they had before it hit the streets to get a patch ready for day 1.

X3 from egosoft is one other game I can remember had a quite substantial patch on its release date.

Where did you come up with that percentage? Seems waaaay too high to me. :hmm:

I just hope that it won't make leaving the harbour a pain like it was in SH3.

Every five seconds the look out yelling "ship spotted" (and the dropping down to 1:1 time compression)

DUH, we are in a frickin harbour! Of course there are ships spotted!!! We are surrounded by ships!!! Thats why it is called a harbour!! <reaching for the decaf> :p

In SH3 I really wanted a way to "jump" to open water instead of creeping through the harbour. Sure it was fun the first 10 times but not the 100th.

Well, in my experience games generally come out without killing bugs. At least the games I bought (e.g. a month or two ago I gor Supreme Commander - didn't need a patch). I can list here a whole bunch in the same category.

Do you think SH4 is their only project?

C'mon, they're console code writers, probably the were working at several things in the same time. Trust me I worked for a software company for several years until I got back to academia (much more fun doing research than working for a lobotomised project manager). There's never just one project on the table. Expecially if you have a large team (and I saw in their dev videos the're a bunch of guys and gals there).

I hope you were right. Would be quite nice. I'll remain skeptical meanwhile.

Yet it still su***d. Despite the patch i still found the framerate too low for my computer (at that time I had a brand new, top of the line Alienware, SLI and all that).

I agree with Fred. People who buy subsims are mostly sub/navy buffs. Despite the eye candy, you don't get your average teenager hooked on 1st person shooters trying a subsim. It's just not 'cool enough', it's slow, takes time to learn, you can't shoot ridiculous looking monsters or save the girl with huge b00bies and tight panties (e.g. Dark Star One - still a nice game, but sooo cheesy)

I'd say 97% of people who buy SH4 WILL get the patch. Time to upgrade the broadband ... :rotfl:

Supreme Commander got a patch just a few days after release.

Ragtag · 03-22-07, 07:22 AM

Sound volume levels seem improved for me.

Lots more voice notifications of contacts etc..

Loading seems quicker?

No change with the Graphics Resolution issues.
