Patch 1.3

[7Enigma]

If we don't get a patch it has nothing to do with this, or any other forum and its members. It only has to do with money and commitment to a finished product.

Trying to pawn off blame away from the developer's and/or distributor's failure to release a stable product is rediculous.

You release a game that has issues only seen on certain hardware/software combinations is completely acceptable and almost impossible to avoid in today's wide range of configurations. These are things like driver issues and accessory incompatibilites.

You release a game that from day one and still today after 2 patches has many broken aspects (radar, chrono, save issues) and you get no sympathy from me and many other gamers. That's just disrespectful.

Agreed, I paid my money (I'm one of the 3000 deluxe versions) I expect the product working if it's not too much trouble.

People have been brainwashed/conditioned by the likes of Microsoft to think it's ok to release incomplete products onto the market and expect the paying public to act as their user acceptance testing! In Microsoft's case they can potentially cost business's money and frustration, luckily this is only a game.

As regards the "certain hardware/software", issue, that's why they provide a recommended system config. Lots of people have the exact requirements but still have the radar etc problems. Lets face it, it's buggy.

Finally the 2 patches and still not fixed comment. This game is not a mindless blast anything that moves shoot em up. It's played by people who appreciate precision and things like hydrophones not working at periscope depth is extreemly annoying. I like to get into position in realtime, so while it takes time to position yourself for a perfect shot, to me it's worth it in the payoff. To get all the information I need for "the perfect shot", I have to make my sub act like a dolphin breeching for air continually going from 14 to 20 feet. With that kind of farcical situation I'm supprised the Japs aren't rolling around on deck laughting at me.

I also paid for my Delx Ed. and a collectors Ed. and am able to enjoy it as it is. I am waiting to see the next patch but will not complain the whole time about it. Would like to get what I played for and yet I still have a sim that I am able to play.

If they do release another patch then yippee, if they don't, well we'll just have to make do, and hope some quality mods can sort some of the more annoying glitches or things not working as they should. I'd much rather they took their time over one patch and tested it properly than keep releasing patches that fix certain things but break others.
