Unfortunately, we are aware of two problems that are still present after the patch. Below you can find their description and a workaround for each one of them:

Problem 1: Sometimes the player can remain stuck between collision boxes and cannot move anymore

Workaround: By pressing SHIFT+U player will be repositioned in the command room of the submarine

Problem 2: In the following situation the player cannot access the UPlay rewards:

- The player has Windows Vista or Windows 7 installed
- Uses a standard user account (no admin rights)
- Silent Hunter 5 is installed in the c:\Program Files\Folder (to prevent this, the game is installed by default in c:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter5 – not in Program Files)
- In Windows Vista and Windows 7, the “Program Files” folder has special restrictions, that leads to this problem

Workaround: Don’t install the game into the “Program Files” directory

It's a shame that UbiSoft still hasn't released the game to their digital pre-orderers, but I guess it's nice everyone that bought it from a store gets a patch.

I cant find the full list of fixes anywhere in the install directory....

[ddrgn]

Of course...

[GDFTigerTank]

Someone please post release notes for those of us less fortunate.

And maybe if people see that important bugs are getting ferreted out and fixed quickly they'll be more inclined to buy!

Or did it do it without your asking?

If so, did you have any mods installed yet?

If so, where they overwritten?

It check for an update when you launch,

It finds the update and your able to choose whether to install it or not.

When downloaded you decide whether to patch it or not.

Mu mods are still there and my commands.cfg didn't change.

All of those are good to hear.

Thanks for the info.

First off I have to say I am a bit confused with the version number, and people saying it is auto-updating. Mine did not update on it's own. I had to run Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater\gu.exe to update my game. If I had not seen threads here I would not have known through the software alone that there was an update... very odd others auto-updated... I don't see anywhere that I have turned the feature off.

As for version numbers, mine was v1.0.5 as shown on the main screen. The patcher said it was downloading and installing v1.0.1 (which of course looks like a step back). When running the game the main screen now shows v1.1.5 Very confusing.

As I said above, I had to make it patch, obviously others didn't. With mine, after the file was downloaded it asked me if I wanted to execute it right away. Obviously I am not sure if it asked the people who auto-updated.

SH5 with patch v1.1

Process:
1. Dived.
2. Surfaced. (CO2 30%)
3. Dead. (CO2 100%)

How could I decrease CO2?
CO2 increased on the surface of the sea.

Situation:
- The hatch on the deck was open.
- The diesel engine was running.
- In storm, no watcher.

Wow! How the hell did it get past QA ? Some of those bugs should easily have been picked up

Oh yeah, I remember, UBI doesn't do QA....it relies on it's paying customers to beta test.

So glad I haven't bought it...
