One thing that to me is very important is losing all the map plotting(with the exception of your plotted course.) And any maps contacts that were showing when you left. But perhaps this will be part of the save fix reguarding weather.

But it is a good list of stuff I must say.

There's probably already a list and work being done for patch 1.3, and a list for 1.4. You can only get so much done for an April 12 release. Basic software development.

"A month ago this anger might have made sense. But now, after a patch announcement of fixes for things that are currently fixed via mods, it just seems a little... off. "

Guess, "kylania" wasn't around when SH4 went through four patches and then a fifth that was partially an extra-cost item containing a U-Boat extension to the original game - and still remained sluggish and prone to failure until the end!

In short, putting TOTAL, BLIND faith into thinking Ubi's patches will ALWAYS solve BASIC shortcomings has proven silly!

People must think it's another joke

Im a little worried about this patch on top of the mods, I smell conflicts. Not possible to stop the patch since the game patches itself, and I like my game now with the mods. Hopefully Im wrong, or we may have to reinstall everything.

I didn't see any question if I want to update when the first patch was installed, are you sure? My game just patched itself. So I better not forget to deactivate all the mods before April 12th.

No mention about AI which is my top fix I wanted.
No mention of more or varied traffic, currnetly there appears to be only Large Cargo, an American oiler and a Hog islander, and very few of these, this is not acceptable.

Hmm mm... looks like this patch is 90% for graphics.

The Dynamic Shadows have a few errors and need to be fixed sooner or later

Imagine that.

mcarlsonus · 04-01-10, 05:55 PM

...great...graphics are FINE! How about a patch for, "Challenge?"

OH! Just as I thought! Ubi's expecting their unpaid/Ubi-unappreciated labor pool (a.k.a., "modders") to take care of that AI problem we're all having...silly me...

Sabre · 04-01-10, 08:33 PM

Very good news!

Ark · 04-01-10, 11:11 PM

I'm hoping UBI releases a "Cold War" expansion pack so I can finally captain a VIIB.

If by "graphics" you mean "UI/controls" then yes. Which is desperately needed for those who haven't modded their UI yet. Once that's fixed modders can move on to improving the game rather than fixing missing core commands.

Hi Neal,

I hope you will bring this post on the way to the programmer:

Since SH3 AI_ships do not do that what the sim-option in the MissionEditor
is showing.
The crux is, that it is not possible to design a smal trawler with a simple passing a 100meter space of a antisubnet with looping wps as a guide for my sub. This was usual practice in the WWII, you certainly know.

Testet in the region of the Kiel_Kanal Germany (Kaiser_Wilhelm-Kanal)
See the photos in SH5 below:

Best regards

Karl

P.S.:
The reason was they patched the WP-mangement so that AI-ships do nomore collide, or sails on land.
But this is o.k. on the hight seas and not in narrow regions.

I think it is better to accept some collisions as in the real life on sea happends, otherwise we can forget a functonaly traffig near land and precoast-regions.

The best way will be to design the WP-management as correct as the WM-management of the player sub.
And collisions should depend of the good or bad practice of the modder, only.

Here more of bugs:

Trawler stopps and is fixed to the ground.

Anything on coming out of Fast Forward Time ? I was heading to my patrol area I was at 1500x or there abouts.

BANG! came out of x time to be sitting rigth in the middle of a patrol of 6 DD and got blasted out the water.

Will this be fixed and will the rudder be fixed so you can pick through the degrees of rudder Port and Starboard.
