Ubisoft release that kind of information, not the Devs. the Devs are very aware of what needs fixing in 1.3 and they are hopefully busy at work with it, but Ubisoft have to authorize a new patch and then release information about it through the correct channels.

Agreed 100%. This patch really needs to address the radar and the chronometer for sure.

And fixing the incorrect Imperial measurement with the Stadimeter! Don't forget that!

I am pretty certain that UBI are aware of all of the current bugs.

I certainly agree that only one patch is required but the patch would have to be pretty faultless and introduce no new bugs. Pretty damn rare to get one of those no matter how long it takes

Personally I hope and think we might get a couple, one to fix most bugs and the last to tidy up.

Agreed.

Unfortunately, this theory also holds true for an actual title too.

Exactly! If your forced to rush a title, your gonna have to rush a patch(s) to get it to run and subsequent patches thereafter to clean up the rest of the mess. Scary part is, if you dont get 'permission' (from UBI) to make those patches, the game will never be completely fixed. We've got two, lets hope theres a third and its complete enough to negate the need for a lucky fourth because its unlikely to ever come in todays budget climate. Given that, let the game be played awhile, have major remaining bugs identified and then give the devs the time needed to make that third and more than likely 'final' patch as complete as possible.

We have the eye candy now so a lot of people seem more than satisfied with that. Well, it takes all kinds, I guess. But I really hope they fix the chronometer, the stadimeter, the date line problem and the radar next.

Okay, okay. The game looks real purty. I'll give you that. May we now have a little more attention given to gameplay? So much has been fixed...just a little more to go.

Pretty please, with sugar on it?

Indeed alot of the CTD complaints seem to be with Vista.

Personally I think Ill wait untill compatible hardware drivers are available before I upgrade my OS.

I tried on Vista first since they announced it was compatible. But I ended up on XP anyway since i had lots of CTD's. Im now running a clean XP install and it works a lot better.

I'm stunned that anyone thinks 1 more patch will do it...

The game is almost reasonably playable, but mostly because I think more patches are coming. If I thought 1.2 was it, I probably would stop wasting my time.

Reasonable functionality is required for immersion.

I can't play career mode due to constant CTD errors. I can have the training missions up for a few hours without problems, but career mode always crashes after playing for a bit (sometimes during TC, sometimes during realtime play). I had CTDs before 1.2, but they seem to have gotten much worse since the patch. That is pretty much unacceptable. I'm running XP, not Vista.

Ill counter by saying Ive never had a single solitary CTD not one. Thats from version 1.0 on.

Well excpet that one time I pushed the A ke to see if it would and it did.

1 more patch if it is done right! If it is, no more patches needed

We have lemon laws for cars, what we need now are lemon laws for software. Maybe something like that will discourage half-done titles like SHIV and TDU from hitting the shelves.

Oh yeah, and EULA's should be made available outside of the box so software can be returned unopened if we disagree with it.
