With all the flaming at release its not great they didn't just close up shop on the sub sim scene.
Glad to see there fixing some of the problems, hope they get to the ranges not sending to stadimeter in the near future though.

Looking forward to the 12th.

You can be sure it's the subsim community on here and others that let them know there effort to the subsim world is valued, and like all the releases of SH series, there have been bugs.

Plus if they fix the game and people on here recognize it, they will let others know whom haven't bought the game with world of mouth, recommending it in the patched final product. cause then it will actually be an awesome experience. that and the mod community is still around, and more old schoolers will join in once it's fixed im sure.

only remaining issue then is the internet all the time DRM, needs an offline feature... (not that i have had problems, 1 hang up so far, and i don't seem to join when theres these "down time" issues...)

1 thing i did not notice is that depth charges need to have a bit more radius on there damage even when pretty close to the sub they don't do much....

or at least cause some more bad internal problems for the sub....

and of coarse get depth charged more often by lousy ai escorts



everyone gets these issues man, read the patch list of fixes, its also at the silent hunter ubi forums, stated they are fixing lag issues in the command room etc and fixing shadow issues....

hopefully this will solve problems for all

if your refereing to speed up time issue going laggy, that's when a taskforce/convoy is in your area and have loaded on the map incase you decide to kill them, just like the lag in port when ure trying to time compression your way out, there's ship on your team guarding the port and still loaded on the map. agreed it shouldn't be that laggy there just ships following a coarse when out at see but hey! thats the way it is it seems, the price of eye candy...

I noticed those fixes and the performance problem I was having is inside the sub. This was a surprise because my system runs Crysis quite well.

you want to try and sneek upto malta harbour and then sink and ship....I had 3 destroyers and a Corvette on me for quite some time, got some damage (forward torp room flooding, looks cool) but just managed to sneak away, loads of DC dropped mind, but they are only slightly on target, thank god lol, was a great hour, trying to sneak away.....not sure if its because we are in 1941 now and they are better, or just lucky, as the ones in the Alantic were bad, but then I guess thats why the uboats men called it "the Happy time"?

True ile pay that, the malta ones in 41 are harder, IF they decide to go at you, ive had two corvettes almost hit me, just missed on there runs, but they gave up after 15min after evasiveM.
but its more the situations where u sink stuff and they just keep on cruising forward ignoring im tlaking about, thought that would be a bug more than ai there for ai for situations needs a look so its no longer a bug.

how you find the air support near Alexandria on a clear day? that was hectic, spent half a day of game time trying to get in the clear...

so they game works somtimes, but it need to work all the time....

[Arclight]

Thank you Dan, and all your colleagues.

[Nordmann]

Thanks for the update Neal, hopefully we'll see a release soon, goodness knows the game needs it!

[tonschk]

The Dynamic Shadows of SH5 have some errors and need to be fixed

[Bungmiester]

Its good to know theres a patch in the pipe line,I was beginning to wonder, would have been nice to have a fix for the aircraft though.
Hopefully in next patch,

My innocent faith is hoping the "rec manual" changes means the standimeter will be fixed!

[walsh2509]

Are the rudders fixed ? as in being able to turn 1 / 2 / 3 /4 / 5 degrees to Port and Starboard and so on.

The second SH5 patch will be released on April 12th.

Below you can find the list of fixes/changes:

•Fixes for ships exploding in ports for unapparent reasons or hitting the shore
•Now waypoint tools are not accessible in bunker anymore
•Compass added
•Return to course added
•Several fixes to ship recognition manual
•Depth under keel added
•Morale reaching 0 bug fixed
•Several crew abilities (like man the deck gun and man the flack gun don’t cost morale anymore)

•No more crewmen on burning ships
•Fixed a bug where the player can get stuck in the sub's outer hatch geometry
•Crewmen on deck change clothes during bad weather
•German language localization fixes

Jesus was all that really broken? And this is the second patch??? I don't dare imagine what the status of the game was when released

Let's see how far they go with patching and where they do stop. Hopefully they reach the customary four patches, and if the remaining two ones are as loaded with content as these, the game is definitively looking much better in perspective. Cross fingers that UBI allows the Devs to do their job and does not cut the patching short

[SabreHawk]

Well there are some things that aren't in that list that are rather important, but my hopes are that it isn't all that will be in the final release.

One thing that to me is very important is losing all the map plotting(with the exception of your plotted course.) And any maps contacts that were showing when you left. But perhaps this will be part of the save fix reguarding weather.

But it is a good list of stuff I must say.

[BigBANGtheory]

Thanks for the update, sounds like a serious patch.

My new SH5 discbox arrived this morning so I'll be mucking about with the current release not taking it too seriously until the patch is out.
