Silent Hunter 4 patch v1.3: Where? When? What? - Page 19

05-16-07, 06:52 PM

I've been playing Silent Hunter sims for years, SHI, II & III and SHIV can be the best one yet.

You have done a fantastic job on this game but it needs a little more work to put it over the top. Help us out with the things we can't fix ourselves and you'll have a game that will be played for years to come.

I'm into this game over $200.00 This better get patched or it's bargain basket e-bay $10.00 if I ever buy one of their products again. Now that's out of my system......

It took awhile to get to 1.4 patch on SH-3. So I don't expect SH-4 to get that far immediatly but this Thread should give UBI a wakeup call.

Are we allowed to post twice in this thread ?

All I can say is my opinion that if the well documented issues are not resolved in a patch we as a community can kiss the submarine simulator genre a fairwell.

I certainly dont want to see that happen.

I dont think particurally the developers want to see that happen.

UBI .... well the jury is out. I could strongly advise that they see that it happen. A future title could be a source of revenue. However a sour taste left in alot of players mouth from abandoment would be left. Sales 'would' suffer.

ALL I CAN SAY IS IF UBI DOES NOT FIX THIS THEY WILL LOOSE ALOT OF CUSTOMERS SUPPORT IS A VERY STRONG ISSUE ALOT OF COMPANIES HAVE MADE THAT MISTAKE.

Thanks for the thread Neal, agreed we need at least one more patch.

NZ_Wanderer · 05-16-07, 07:13 PM

Adds name to the list... (adding nothing else as everyone has covered it all)

codmander · 05-16-07, 07:19 PM

In reference to radar the original SH game has better radar than this one. and I am having a problem with the box showing the torpeodo leaving the tube and showing it on to the target. Is this a problem with anyone else. It makes it hard to know if you need to fire more fish or not. any help from the group would be appreciated. Also these crashs happening doing the game should be considered in a new patch. Also why don't they include the submarine combat pin we all received. The other problem is the patrol doesn't end. you do all that is ask and there is no completions. how about a msg on the radio stating the patrol is suscessful and return to what ever base you need to return to. everone needs to get behind this 1.3 patch.

I think a 1.3 Patch is needed. Sure, the basics work, almost. But, with just the basics, it's too arcade-ish. Liners sink too easy (They always seem to explode), and the DD do almost nothing all the time. Sure, sinking something is great and all, but when it happens, and nothing is done by the escorts, it just kinda kills the sence of accomplishment, you know? The Aircraft almost never even notice Im there, either. If there are gonna be so many, why don't they do anything? I know the SD Radar works, but since 1.2 it kinda stopped. I dont't get anything from the SD anymore, not even aircraft, maybe it's just my early SD Radar, but surely it should pick up something? I would also like to see the 90-270 heading issue with the Radar fixed, I don't understand why that is messed up likr that? I would love to have the chronometer fixed most of all. I'm not good at math, and not very good at guessing either (apparently) and I Don't enjoy using the autotargeting, but with out the chronometer, it's the only way I can get anything. Please, I beg of you, fix it, fix as much as you can.

I agree a 1.3 ptach is a must and more as likely not a 1.4 one will be needed as well at the rate things are going
