Title: Titanic smokestacks etc.
Post by: roketrhino900 on December 19, 2011, 14:23:54
Help please, my Titanic doesen't show the smokestacks, masts, or lots of other details which are shown on youtube. The only answer I could find was Options -> display -> Titanic -> Funnels -> On
But i have no idea where to find it, under display there is no option for Titanic.

Hi roketrhino900,
If your "Titanic" has no funnels or masts then the problem is that you do not have enough memory on your computer. Did you check the requirements for the game before you bought it?

Hi Rhino,

The usual reason for difficulty in displaying just Titanic is lack of sufficient available memory because Titanic has a very high poly count.

“Available memory” is the amount of uncommitted RAM that is left at the time Titanic is rendered—which is usually the last thing to be done when a frame is rendered.

Low memory can be due to insufficient installed RAM, or to the failure of the game to de-allocate RAM—return it to the pool of available RAM—after it is no longer needed. The latter is a known problem with SS2008 and with Extremes.

Other topics on this board will tell you how to do two important things:
You must register your serial key in your forum profile to gain access to the technical support boards.
You will be asked to post your Dxdiag—a report telling what hardware is on your computer—so that we can see whether your system is adequate for running SS.

Regards,
Marty
