Title: I want ship sim '08, but I don't want '06 to be a waste oh money
Post by: RMS Gigantic on July 13, 2007, 22:32:54
what do I do? is there a way to download a patch to make '06 into '08?

You can't upgrade SS06 to SS08. You should buy SS08 like you did with SS06.

No, surely. Have you not had enjoyment from 2006 and had your moneys worth? Time moves on... I've just played 08 and it is leagues ahead. Well worth it.

Yes, I had the same problem when I tried to run it from my laptop.

Well, the minimum spec has been well published. But if it won't run 06 forget it running 08. The graphics card in my desktop was cheap enough and runs it nicely. FULL settings.

Greetings,
Maybe you can use the 2006-version to get more people interested in the game,which i do.
Afther the  release of the 2008-version,it will be no use anymore for the users of the new game.
Like i 've seen on this forum,please dont eat it,you'll have some problem with the plastic cover.
Regards
Marc

'Dude', relax. If you have a problem with anyone, you can press the 'report to moderator' button. So far being rude hasn't helped anyone on this forum. In the contrary.

About your question: shipsim 2008 is a new product, like windows vista isn't windows XP and flightsimulator 2004 isn't flightsimulator X. That means that shipsim 2006 cannot be upgraded to shipsim 2008. Furthermore, if you have doubts about if your computer can handle the game, take a look at the technical FAQ. The minimum system requirements are in the FAQ: http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,635.0.html

Hi Neis

It is wrong to assume people will only buy a game to play... Some people do find that they can make a healthy balanced diet out of CD discs.

In your language, they would call you a "mierenneuker", why do you have so much critics?

If I would have so much critics as you, I would have had a hart attack.

I still prefer STBC. STBC can be modded and has an excellent community. And anway, what reviews were you reading? All the reviews I read said Legacy was c**p and that STBC was much better.

Every major British PC gaming magazine - PC Gamer, PC Zone and PC Format all said Legacy was poor and that STBC is better.

Even IGN and Gamespot gave it bad reviews. As did Yahoo! and Gamespy. Did you even look at the meta critic links?

They can't all be wrong and you be right.

I thought the more intelligent option would be to end the 'discussion' before it became more heated and antagonistic.

At the end of the day, we're all gamers and we all have different tastes. After all, one man's meat is another man's poison.
