I will no longer play this game until Ubisoft fix it

And yet again time compression won't shut down on the click of your mouse. I finish an objective, plot course back to harbor and activate TC, only to find on nearing the harbor the TC won't shut off on your constant clicks of the mouse in vain and your boat crashes into the uboat pen at "Ludicrous speed".

I tried the dock at port button but now the "entering port" save wont load and crashes back to desktop. The only option would be to start the patrol again....um...no.

...Rant over.

Good for you sir. Finally looks like people are beginning to stand up and speak out about the problems rather than blindly follow UBI Soft such as many members here. Sad to see Subsim become what it has since the release of SHV.

My advice to anyone who asked.....

Buy a cheap version of SH3 and run it with GWX3, it's more realistic and at least it doesn't re-write history.

I've seen many people on these forums have their say and express negative opinion (to which they are entitled) but continue to play it. In my view i cannot continue with the constant frustration this game provides me. The modders have made the controls and gameplay better and it's appreciated very much, but the bugs I beleive outweigh at present any good those clever mods deliver.

I never click the gui for changing time compression. Not sure if there is a go-to-x1-speed, so I press 'back' key and then '+' on num keyboard to get back to x1 speed.

Quite, although I suspect for quite different reasons than yours.

I usually start backing off on the compression as I get closer to port. I also never go higher than 1024 at any time. I think it may be that lower/mid end CPU's can't pickup on contacts, land etc, fast enough when running much higher. At least that seems to be the case for me.

Yes, it's sad that some people continue to blindly defend SH5 no matter what. And I'm getting tired of all the 'stop complaining, the modders will fix it' attitudes.

But on the other hand, many people are starting to wake up. After the novelty of pretty graphics wears off, it's becoming too obvious how broken, unfinished, and just plain bad SH5 really is.

Getting back to 1x TC is very simple. The "\" key.
And thus is shown on the keyboard map (F1) And also shown on that keyboard map is the keystrokes for increasing and decreasing TC which are Keypad + and -

I have been playing this game (or trying to) since release and have already memorised most of the controls. The problem isn't knowing what buttons to press, it's that the game doesn't respond like it's supposed to. TC was never this bad in SH3 or SH4 and you shouldn't have to limit it's use to 1024 speed because it's broken, these things should work on release. The truth is the game is unstable and i'm sick of it, like many other people here. And it's not like i'm running on min specs either. (Core 2 Duo 6700, XFX8800GTX, 4GB RAM) I would expect this to run games almost flawlessly most of the time.

As long as you buy the game, Ubi doesn't care if you think their game
doesn't work. Ubi doesn't care that it's so bad you stopped playing it. Ubi
doesn't care that you can't play it off line, even tho there is no reason you
need to be online.

If these things didn't stop you buying the game, Ubi will do it again and again.

SabreHawk · 03-24-10, 07:22 PM

Aye aye Fozz, I just posted that in case.
It's never failed to work for me, in fact at the end of the day nothing has really failed in my install so far and runs more stable than FSX does on my system. Not that FSX runs badly on it, but framerate in some sceneries can be a bit low.

But as for SH5, it runs stable and smooth and every time. In fact the only time it ever failed in any respect was after I did a system restore, and according to tech support this messes with the registry in some way and caused SH5 to not be able to connect to UBI's master servers. And a simple reinstall fixed that. And because of online saves, I didnt even lose any campaign progress.

Im beginning to believe that the issues with instability that some experience may well be system dependent, and may well be due to hard drive performance or viruses, adware, spyware, and many other things of that nature. Even virus scan programs, system cleaners and the like can play havoc with things.
I know that about two years ago I had a trojan in my system that played havoc with anything I tried to run and had errors and crashes all the time.
So much so that I was so sick of it I took out that HD and slapped a nice big new one in and have had no problems ever since.

Non issue on the following rig;

AMD Phenom II 955 BE Rev C
Nvidia 9800GT
8gigs of RAM
Win 7 Pro

All sliders maxed out and 1920 by 1080 widescreen.

I can steam in at high TC hit the "\" key and she goes to TC 1 instantly.

Sad for you maybe.

Who is blindly defending SH5? What does that mean? If someone is playing the game and not constantly slagging off on it, that's blindly defending? Let's be clear, I never blindly defended it. I pointed out a lot of flaws, in my review and many threads here. I don't see anyone blindly defending it, even the people who actually like it.

Oh, I see, what you mean is anyone who is not making constant posts complaining about SH5. Complaining loudly with lots of juvenile hyperbole.

pythos · 03-24-10, 08:25 PM

Let say this once (at least in this pointless thread)

SILENT HUNTER IS NOT A STUPID BRAINLESS CONSOLE SHOOTEM UP CLONE OF OTHER GAMES.

it is a simulator. It is also a niche market game, which unfortunately limits the time developers can put into it before it gets shoved out the door.

If you don't like the game, and forget how the other versions were,

Please go away. Stop your whining, insulting, bitching and moaning.

either contribute, or get the hell out!!!

I am loving Sh5, with mods, (shaddup all you "it shouldn't need mods" people. Flight simulator with a bigger following than SH was modded all to hell and back throughout it's evolution, and still is getting modded) and wish people would just enjoy it, realizing YES it is buggy, but it is easily modded.
God, you all.

ENJOY THE GAME, contribute ideas, get mods.
