I'm assuming this is sarcasm, as a writer would undoubtedly have few grammatical errors.

A writer would also know the difference between an auxilliary verb and a verb and would pay more attention to quotes they used from the bible.

Patch Sighted! Bearing 030, speed 135 knots! Moving away!
Ahead ludicrous speed! Rudder one degree to starboard.

A most sensible withdraw, i must say some some members conducted an observation with cunning tenacity, and much order, as to as to make such a disposition to surround me. Difficult as the day has been for me, tiredsome as the posts came across, bothered as i am, i must here say i suffered not, but a slight loss of composure. If members think it proper to attack my style and grace, manners, etc then please think again. I will not abandon my posts somewhat prematurely. I make no doubt many do not like my style, but in this instance i came under an unwanted, unprovoked attack. Bring fourth your anxiety and anger, but expect a thunderous seconded response. I humbly beg my last 50-100 posts be reviewed, and iam more than confident iam not at fault, but much has to be said of the wolf pack herein.

I will sum it up for you Sir. You purchased the game as is. Of course with PC gaming there has been and always will be patches. UbiSoft as well as other Gaming Companies try their best to beta and Alpha Test a Familiar and popular Game like SH5, the genre has been a mainstay to the submarine simulation community. Understand when you are a devout hardcore PC gamer, Patches are a way of life. I’m sure Ubisoft released, at the time, a stable version of SH5. Be cognizant of the fact PC Gaming companies will never have a game perfect at release. Unlike a cookie cutter console system i.e. Xbox 360, that every game you purchase works on every other Xbox 360 in the known world! Why, because every console is made same way. When you have an intricate PC game, especially a simulation of the magnitude of SH5, Anyone in their right mind realizes you can’t release the perfect PC game at release. PC Computers have thousands of different hardware configurations out there, People use SCSI, SATA, Nvidia, ATI, AMD, Intel, SoundBlaster, realtec, adlib, Windows Xp, Vista, Mac, Windows 7 and they’re various versions etc. There is no way in hell any PC Gaming developer can appease so many possible hardware configurations. Pc Gaming companies would have to employ 10.000 beta testers to get a lay of the land. In reality no companies are going to spend millions to make one game of many in development, perfect!

Here’s the sad thing about novice PC gamers. First off, a lot of people that buy an expensive PC gaming system our uneducated in the aspects gaming as it relates to the care and maintenance of the relation between software and hardware. I’d say half the people here complaining about the misfortunes of SH5 probably have no idea what a Patch or a driver is, or they have a weak understanding of them, or fail to apply them appropriately. Believe it or not, there are people right now scratching their heads, saying, what the hell are those. And by the way, why is my game not working properly? I'm not going to get into the technical aspects, but I believe I have made my point.

To conclude, People that demand a flawless PC game at release, because they are a paying consumer and demand a great product, well it is, and will be, you just have to be patient. A company like Ubisoft is reputable, and they have made many great titles, they just don’t have Millions lying around to make the perfect game at release. The best form of testing a game is when it's released to the public, the public that has thousands upon thousands of Computer Configurations that relay the problems they are experiencing in respect to they're personnel computer. Understand the magnitude of this undertaking will help appease you’re dissatisfaction.

P.S. Do I think Ubisoft could have done a better job with this specific title, Absolutely! But it is what it is, they will patch it, and it will be better!

Thanks Mulligan

You know , I have to admit that I'd never thought of that, the different PC configs before.

I have to say that I'm struggling with the content rather than the bugs. The lack of variety of targets, the awful AI - well it's killing the game for me at the mo. Hopefully in a few months it can be turned into the game it should have been, till then I've reloaded SH3 GWX.

As for the patch being delayed, the only real gripe I have is the abysmal customer services - I.E. the complete lack of announcements. Releasing the patch in Russia and leaving the rest of us waiting , again with no announcements. Based on this , I really am unlikely to buy another Ubisoft game, be it a subsim or another genere.

I can understand how non-English speakers may struggle with your posts 4Para.

However, I have to say I love your style and as far as I'm concerned (for what its worth) you can carry on

You'll know when the patch is out when all the "this patch sucks coz DRM is still in and I won't buy the game" posts start up along side the "this didn't fix whatever" posts. This thread won't be where you find information. heh
