SH5 patch #2

[SteelViking]

You know, if anyone is going to be mad at someone for the problems with SH5, you should be mad at Ubi's administration/financial people, not the members of the actual development team. I think the devs did a pretty darn good job considering they are not the ones who decide release times. Plus give them a chance to get some patches out, is SHIII not version 1.4b.

Goodness so many posts - so little said!

Can any one provide a usable heads-up re when new patch release thats usful information the rest is waffle -

Seems modding has slowed down a tad till we have the new patch - which is when we can all get back into making the game what it could be

Just for the record - cant stand DRM - but living with it - Thought SH5 was crap - till I got it - discovered it was less crap than I thought, though not a patch on SH3 gameplay, but give it time - Rome wasnt built in a day!

But here's the thing people - it's improving every single day with new mods and tweaks - it is definatly worth sticking with - and in this it's no different than any other incarnation of this series

So good hunting to one and all

The latest word, of course from the German Ubi forums, is that the patch was pushed back till Monday or Tuesday of next week. Nothing else has been said by Ubisoft that I've seen.

There's also this little hint about other boats, but the Google translation is pretty crude, so I'll let our German speaking friends try to make sense of it.

WOW, originally intended boats. that sounds awesome. I took it to mean it would be in the next patch if it makes it, not this one. Is that what you got from it?


Man oh man, II or a IX, maybe both and a XXI. Heck give me a minelayer or even a tanker. I could have fun trying to refuel boats and not get my ass blown off. Of course it would be better in the later years.

Of course that is how you suck them into the ADD-ON.

Does anyone know if this will be simultaneously available for the Steam version of the game?

ArmaA2 held off on a patch for months before they put it on steam.


I hope UBIsoft doesn't pull the same thing.

I like the game as it is. There are some things that I personally would like to see, but in general, its good the way it is. That being said, the DRM issue seems to have had some advantages that I did not consider previously. I do not use any mods, and some Modders will most likely not want to provide some of the excellent mods out there too UBIsoft. However, there will most likely be some mods, that make it into a patch. This would be welcome, if the community supports it. For example, I do not particularly care for the bubbles over the crewmans head, to indicate he has something to say. This could be done in other ways. For example, Battle stations could be all RED interior lights (night could be one Red, one white, and alternating. Silent running could be blue. When the Watch Officer is ordered to Man the Deck Gun, he should face the captain, and stand at attention, each time the Captain approaches him, as if he is waiting for the order to secure the stations he controls, little things like that would be much better than the bubble heads, I think. Just thoughts for future patches.

Now I know I should undo any mods I have before the patch, but im wondering if like in the past with SH3 if one should return to port also and not patch while in a mission?

[PL_Andrev]

Are you ready to find bugs for patch 1.3?

Probably a good idea, maybe even better to start a new career after patching.

Yes I was thinking of doing just that, starting over with clean slate. Specially since I already took the offer of a new boat and it wound up being a VIIC and I wanted a VIIB. Was at least thinking of reverting back to the begining of the current mission, and in port.

[kylania]

There are campaign file changes in the patch from what the notes read like, meaning you'll have to start a new campaign since existing save games will be broken.

[SabreHawk]

Well alrighty then Admiral..........congrats on the promotion BTW!

Just as well, im not so sure I really like the capatin's name I wound up with anyway. Think I'll make one up this time.
Will be fun to start over again, especially if they fix and do what I think they are.
I'll make a prediction that we'll be surprised, and happy seamen.
