Have you seen the trailer in HD yet? This version looks simply fantastic! It also appears that you can ride the rough sea, with land in sight! Nothing worse than leaving port, and being thrown in to the high seas, with the land you just left, completley dissapeared. This is what was missing from 2008. If this version looks as promising as the trailer indicates, then i can assure you that VSTEP have got this one spot on, and i will be first in the queue to buy it. :)

No I will be first in the queue! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Well, I think we should have an epic race from Sao Paulo or somewhere to a shop that will sell it in say london or somewhere to see who is first. Ill take a Bugatti Veyron, you can take a Flying washing machine or some rubbishy thing! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Yes, don't be rude agent :) I am a new fish ::) hehehe. Seriously though! I do hope you can steam from port, in to a rough sea, and see the land fade away in the distance. This is all so exciting, best news i have had this year ;)

Best news you've had all year? Oh yes, what a long year its been! :D :D :D :D
Nice to see your getting used to the program and the forum. and yes the land does fade away.its quite beautiful. :)
-
RMSG! have you been watching DAVE, whilst monitoring this site? ;)
-
He he well I often do. I wonder what could possibly be on dave that would have a massive race in it? :D

Hi greenbriggs9 and welcome.
I think what Agent|Austin was trying to say was that there are a lot (and I do mean a lot) of other topics about SS2010. It's probably best to check what topics are already active before starting any new ones. Otherwise it does get somewhat overwhelming, especially for people who only log on one every week or two.
Thanks.

Hi greenbriggs9 and very welcome to the forum, I hope you will enjoy being here ;)

welcome greenbriggs9:D hope u have a great time whilst you are with us :D

I, personally do not blame Austin for being "rude" as you people describe. As Austin made clear, these 2010 topics are making me go MAD, and scince Austin is being "rude" he must be tired of all these 2010 topics too, and I am sure many other people are. I just hope a ship simulator 2010 board comes up any time so we can have the disscussions there.
-

Now you know how we feel after seeing all your discussions about these "Annoying Star Line" forums..
-
Okay, I get the picture. hehehehe
-
Oh well Gloat....he isnt really making a good impression on new members, or any one else. And Nathan, the last time we posted anything about a "Annoying Star Line" topics have been posted since august when BSL started, the rest where just announcing other forums, and sorry if they are so annoying....
-
Hi Nathan, I think I made clear in a post that I was sorry about making a star line forum and I knew how it was like because more and more kept coming and it was making me feel really annoyed?
Jonah, mate, When Nathan means annoying star lines, he means Blue star line too, mate, if he didn't he would have said (apart from blue star line)
Back on topic, Yes I have seen the teaser trailer of ship sim 2010, and, as I have made clear, countless other topics asking the same question.
On the even more back on topic side, I won't even join the queue if Shipm sim 2010 is on questviewer.
-

Then you are out of luck. We, on the other hand, can look forward to your non-presence. We get tired of the old rants against QV by those who can’t grasp the fact that the vast majority of “QV errors†are caused by routines external to QV.
-
Bit harsh werent it MVsmith, looking foward to Gloats non presence, not entirely called for was it?
-
You can tell Christmas is over.
Somehow that cheery feeling just isn't in this "soon to be locked if it doesn't get a smile on its face" thread.
;D
-

Right - good luck to you and hope you get lot of members in you "Gloat is gone" party.
And the reason I don't like QV is as you said, it gets a "vast majority" of errors. And I find that errors which read "blah blah blah questviewer could not read blah blah blah" are entirely caused by questviewer
And Terry, here: ;D
-
BTW! has anybody seen the new shipsim 2010 trailer, It looks great. hahahahaha. Only joking boys. shall i close this thread now? as it has obviously run it's course. ;D
-
Yes I have seen the new trailer! About 50 times
-
And the reason I don't like QV is as you said, it gets a "vast majority" of errors. And I find that errors which read "blah blah blah questviewer could not read blah blah blah" are entirely caused by questviewer
What mvsmith tried to explain, Gloat, is that the Questviewer Error, is not an indication that Questviewer is at fault. It's merely the messenger, to tell you that there has been some conflict. And in 98% of the cases (rough estimate), if I look at the problems that are solved in Technical Support and the reasons these problems exsisted, it's not the game/QV that's at fault, but rather something else on the player's pc, hence mvsmith's reference to 'external routines'.
So your remark is just pulled out of thin air. It's simply not the case. Or do you have some proof that lead you to find it was so?
And as a general remark to a few of you that posted in this topic, please keep topics clean of this childish bickering. No new member needs to be welcomed with this mudslinging, keep that between yourselves and if you feel the need to critisize each other, do it in private. My patience with a few people that constantly go this way, is wearing very thin, to be honest... I am not picking sides, nor do I care who did what.. it will stop.

Fred

Hi Fred.
Actually in all of the hundreds of Technical Support issues that I have worked on and resolved NOT ONE has been caused by Questviewer.
From a straw poll, the most common problems are:
- inappropriate video drivers
- inadequate hardware (inadequate video card, low spec CPU, lack of memory, etc)
- incorrect installation of updates
- missing or inadequate CODECs
- user error
-
Well, I left 2% as a rough estimate for the actual times that a game bug causes a crash, which does really happen too of course, specially in MP. And although that should be something that is usually to be discussed in the MP board, some people posts about it in the TS board. :P
;D
But as far as the 'pure' TS topics go, yeah, that would be 10 for 10, I reckon. ;)
-
Hi Fred.
Well, even for those, it doesn't seem to be Questviewer that is the cause. It is simply the carrier of the bad news that newton.dll or ACO_particle.dll or whatever has locked up for some reason.
(It seems to be that most of the MP crashes are either caused by the MP Server needing a re-boot, or the User has badly configured it or has an iffy internet connection or overloaded server hardware or else the user has one of the problems I listed above).
-
I Installed flight simulator and train simulator and they ran PERFECTLY at good speed and no errors at all.
Ship sim seems to be my favorite simulator, but also the worst condition, the processing is slow - I have tried to get rid of all graphics to make it faster, nothing works, and now I get lots of errors!
I understand that quesviewer is not the problem, but I think it wants "a bit too much" with its error messages. Flight sim, train sim, no errors no nothing
-
No nothing, so you do get something? :P
I have no QV errors at all, apart from when I exit the game, which is a known bug without consequenses. And my pc is really getting old now, I cannot even run FSX yet.
Perhaps there is something you can upgrade or improve.. you could attach your dxdiag if you want to..
It's just simple, every time someone persistantly kept pointing at QV being 'bad', in the end when the specs where checked and so on, and Terry did his magic..., it happened to be the pc, or the user.. not QV.
You can't just say "flightsim works, so that means ship sim should work perfectly too". There are just too many differences within games, and such a vaste many possible configurations both with hardware and software, to just compare somewhat similar games that way.
I'm sure Terry will be glad to glance at your dxdiag.. so would I (though Terry's the expert), so feel free to post it. :)

wil the multiplayer suckt even hard as the 2008?

Ancalagon, if you want to insult the game, could you please learn English first! ::)
I feel ashame of you carrying the Belgian flag under your nick >:(
-

Just because it always crashes for you doesn't mean it sucks ;)
Please, don't come here as a new member and start insulting the game for a problem on your half :)

wel i have a verry good internet conection and i'm a prof gamer so:)
its only with this game i have problems with multiplayer and nobody nows the answer of my problem so its just a bug
-
Well put, Nathan,
If he were to read the forum guidelines and ask his question in the correct board, he would get a better response. He should also lose that attitude if he wants anyone to care if he gets help.

-
I agree mate, so the multiplayer has errors. WOW! Why don't you go and make a multiplayer for a game if you think its that easy? hmmm?
dxdiag
I know I am being spolt here, but could I PLEASE have ALL the download links and all the stuff links needed to make shipsim work? I have posted the dxdiag alot of times and none solved the problem
-
Hey Gloat,
The game might give you some errors sometimes, because you do not have enough ram (although it's not THAT much less, but even so, 1 gig is the bare minimum.) and your video card driver is very old.
Go here: http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.HTML
And pick out the driver suited for that card. I don't know much about ATI, but your driver is from 2005, so I think updating that would give you a much better result.
You could have a look at your audio driver too, as that's also very old, though that usually doesn't cause too much trouble.
Also you have very little free space on your system HD. that 0.5GB is probably not enough for windows to do it's thing without possible hickups, so to speak.
Perhaps Terry has something to add aswell, but I think these are the major causes of QV errors.
Fred.
-
hmm.....
I know my thing is windows xp professional, but I don't know anything after that. Don't know weather its radeon or mobility or whatever. How do I learn? All I know that my c drive is "Precario C"
-
Well, open your dxdiag... and just read it.. the top 'paragraph' is your general info, a bit further down is youre graphics card info..
If you don't let the ammount of text scare you, and just take it line by line, you will see what is what.
If you just follow the steps on the ATI site and pick what you have, it'll lead you to a driver you can try. It's all pretty straight forward. If you read things carefully, you can't go wrong.
And as for you C drive.. well.. it's just too full. Try to remove some stuff you never use. I'm not sure on figures, specifically, but off the top of my head, it's probably wise to keep around 15% of your HD free, to give windows enough space to work.
-
is there any reason why I cannot find the radeo 200 series in the ati site?
-
Ah sorry, I could have mentioned that... the express is integrated. So it's in the motherboard category, not the main radeon section.
This is the one you want:
http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=xp/integrated-xp
-
is it this one?
http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=xp/integrated-xp
-
Uhm.. yes, that's the same one. ;D
-
Hi.
Problems aplenty. None of them due to Questviewer. All of them due to inadequate hardware or drivers.
Memory: 960MB RAM - Below minimum requirements
Video card is ATI. They are always the most troublesome. ATI drivers are not totally reliable, I'm afraid. You may even find that an older one works better. It's very hit and miss.
Paging file is probably too small. When Windows runs out of physical memory it uses the paging file instead. As your system is memory deficient, it needs a larger paging file. 4GB would be good. Bigger if your system allows it.
The fact that your system has a peculiar amount of physical RAM probably means that you have something configured incorrectly at BIOS level. But I'm not going to give advice on that. Too much risk of completely screwing the PC up...
Your CODECS could probably be replaced with some improved/updated ones. I've made lots of posts about that in Technical Support, so just look at a few of the recent threads and you'll see the links.
-
Where are the CODEC threads?
-
I'm not really sure if I'm going to get SS10. I hope Titanic returns in it.
-
Where are the CODEC threads?
Here's a good one...

What are you doing on gametrailers, with all those "common gamers"? ;D
They don't seem to think very highly of us simmers.. perhaps it's just envy.. after all, I can imagine they must feel inadequate when they are confronted with intelligent people like us.... ;D

I think they should join the Navy instead :laugh:

People on there obviously are well, lets not go into that!
Stupid comment about all simmers being boring people with no personality etc, what a bunch of.........
I say that I love a good race or football match on a game anyday, any game with a thrill gets my vote, but I like the calmness of ship sim aswell. I guess Im sort of an all round person.
-
I don't think I'll get SS10. I had a lot of trouble finding SS08 and I don't want to look through a lot of stores just to find one PC game. I'll stick with SS08.
-
You could always buy it online straight from vstep
-
So, to make it clear, you're not going to buy the new game because you cannot be bothered to go out and find it?
-
You can always buy it directly off the shipsim website, as a download version. :-\
That saves a bit of trouble. :)
Fred
* right, what person264 said! * ;D

That's a question that I've wondered. How easy is it to order online and will I need something like Paypay?
So, to make it clear, you're not going to buy the new game because you cannot be bothered to go out and find it?
And besides, I don't know if my PC can handle it.
* Fixed the quotes for you - Fred.
-
Try the demo out and you will see if you can handle it. All you need is a credit card, or pay pal or something like that.

YAWN
-
Hey Mike, why did you have to wake me up with that loud yawn?
Just as I was dozing off…
-
Shhhh. Some people are trying to sleep over here...
-
ANOTHER YAWN
-
mike what is your point of this yawning?
-
oh come on. stop yawning.
-
mike what is your point of this yawning?
I think that most people agree that this is a BORING topic. Why not wait and see?
-
Keep your YAWNs to your self. We don't need any virtual ones.

You guys should take your yawns over to this topic where that clown is getting really tiresome:

Too tired of it all to yawn Marty!!
-
I hope that they made a better oceanengine, with more realistic waves, the waves in the earlier versons is not much real. I must say that the deadliest catch alaskan storm game is so much more true in the way that the weather changes. :) I also hope they have a more detailed navigation way, of the way we steering the ships! but still, I love the ship simulator! And I cant wait to its released :)
