Yes, you will see the top of the ship before you will see the whole thing.

But....

I can see the ship's shadow on the water even before i can see the top of the ship. I was scanning around with my UZO and i saw a rather odd shadow on the water way out in the distance. I headed for it and hit TC. Sure enough a ship slowly rose out of the water after some time.

1. Watch Crew stays on deck even if i dive and underwater.

2. cannot take crew off guns, only able to order them on

3. Sonar man And Watch-crew do not update contacts at all

4. Compression does not stop 1. When i am under attack 2. when enemy ship is nearby.

5. trouble with ladders.

6. Clipping problems everywere.

7. Dialog boxes sometimes have no text.

8. When talking to crew, they instantly jump or change their direction of sight.

9. I haven't found a way to change course. Except on the map or with rudder, which only changes 1 degree or 35 if you hold shift.

thats all for now

However all the bugs i think its a huge improvement, defiantly more fun.

Well. I guess I will purschase this game after all. I just can't let all of you be miserable all alone. Besides, I have the others. They will fix it, like they did with the others. Have a good game guys.

Wow, erm I don't know what to say...

Most are not even new bugs, they have been around for years. The files system looks like its got SH3 and SH4 stuff carried over and unused. I know these games are special and for a niche market. I buy these kinds a games but bug ridden again. A rehash with a walkable interior where the novalty of talking to your immortal shipmates wears off quick. Maybe too much effort went into this new "eye catching" feature, and not enough into the core game.

This bugs thread is growing pretty quick. Combine this with the DRM and I don't think I can buy this game this time. I don't wanna have to fix all the things that were wrong in the two previous versions. I was worried it would be the same as 3 and 4. I'll wait and see this year, patches, mods and removal of the DRM after poor sales may convince me, otherwise nope.

I'm gonna miss the wolfpacks, the nice graphics and the campaign but I ain't buying anymore unfinished games.

Also does anyone know if the complusory updates will conflict with mods and bug fixes people create. I can imagine having another 2GB directory of mods and fixes that I have to check line by line everytime a patch appears...

DOnt really want to reload it right now to fix it, because my morale will get set to zero.

All new code eh!! As I stated in another thread, their programming tools were copy & Paste!

[pythos]

Teething problems people

Teething problems.

Be happy they made the next Silent Hunter instead of doing as MS did with Flight Simulator, and kill the francise.

It doesn't help, of course - it's just that I like picturing it in my mind.

You like to watch guys touching each others butts?!?!?!?!


Strange girl.

I don't think anyone at ubisoft ever claimed it was anything other than a iteration of the engine, they certainly never claimed it was "all new code."

Another bug:

Opening/flooding and closing tubes works vice versa. When ordering flooding it actually tries to close the tube (which doesn't work either). For opening a tube one must press the button twice. Very annoying because officer announce each press.
