Whats bugging you about SH4

[FIREWALL]

The bug that bugs me the most is the game the UBI Marketing Dept. played on all of us.

Waiting for patch 1.2 is whats bugging me now.

Yeah i have to agree with you on this games like silent service and SS2 and Aces of the deep and many other old school sub sims dating back to the late 80s early to mid 90's were brilliant games i probably spent as much time between SS1/2 as i did playing elite yes i'm that old.

Gameplay for me.

You left out "Posters posting re-posting re-re-posting re-re-re-posting the same complaints that we just read about in a simuliar thread 3 seconds ago."

That's what bugs me about SH4 the most.

Patches will be incoming and so will the mods. The game's only been out for four weeks. It will be ok soon

Well said, there are some threads for bugs, what you don't like, etc. People though seem to ignore them and post like hell everywhere. They are asking Ubi to gets its act together when they can't themselves.

Exactly! That is all that is bugging me. I'm good with the rest of it. Now, I do not want the patch rushed and loaded with fresh new bugs. Please take your time and check your work.

I think the issue is two-fold...

for those (like me) with a mid-low range comp - the graphics (not enough options to gain more fps without losing eye candy)

for those with super high range comp - the graphics (not enough high end graphical capabilities)

For evryone in general - the annoying gameplay issues that require mods to be able to play without CTD's etc

[Steeltrap]

I think macky makes an interesting point - the sim doesn't utilise high-end specs and yet without them things are a bit dodgy. In some respects that's inevitable, but I'd have thought 'options' should aleviate that somewhat.

40% of respondants have selected "all of the above....". That's pretty bad.

I gave Ubi both barrels - or should that be all 6 tubes? - in a post I called 'rant'. I've since been playing with a bunch of mods downloaded (just on that, we are sooo lucky to have so many patient and talented people working on mods for us!!). Even with them, I am finding it very disappointing. There are simply too many things wrong with it for me to find it enjoyable, so I've shelved it until the next patch or two and some 'ubermods' get done. Pretty poor for $100 if you ask me.....

FYI, here's my rig's specs:
Athlon 64 FX-62 Dual Core
Kingston 2Gb DDR2 667MHz PC5300 RAM
SB X-Fi Platinum
PCIe ATI RADEON X 1950 XTX, 512 Mb DDR4

Even with all that (i.e. everything maxed out) I don't find the sim very 'alive'.

I guess I'll have to 'wait and see' like everyone else, but I don't find it easy to accept shoddy product, no matter the justifications offered in this great site.

Cheers all

speaking of bugs , i was assigned to go to singapore port and take snaps of the harbour i get real close in and a message comes up saying "Deploy men now" not in exact words can't remeber but its got nothing to do with taking photos , i answered yes anyway as the other answer was postpone. But it should of asked me, "Do i wish to take photoshots" or whatever (first time ive done a photo mission so dont know what it should say) yet it asked me to deploy troops instead. Now im right near the port, twiddling me thumbs as i dont know what to do next:hmm:

The icon in the map is a star with camera. Is the mission failed or should i wait for 48 hrs or so. Also do i do anything for photos to work like do i actually take snaps using the persicope? If so how?

TIA

EDIT oh yeah i should note when i answered Yes to Deploy troops, nothing happened, their was no inflatable craft and i was on the surface, funny thing is l was like 2000yrds from the enemy base on teh surface in calm waters in BROAD DAYLIGHT with no enemy in sight....

Still its buggy as hell but i love playing this game - cause i like watching my sub. :rotfl:

Lock you scope on the ships, on the scope tab there is a camera over to the right. Click that like 7-10 times for each ship. This will complete your mission.

I never had a deploy men on a camera mission.....put Bernard in the tube and let it go....orders is orders.

Really? That many? I'm not complaining; in SH1 your mission was complete when you pressed the Tab key once. I always thought that was silly.
