Thank you Mr Postman! my copy of Extremes arrived this morning along with the other Paradox naval title "Commander: Conquest of the Americas". Unfortunately I won't be running them just yet though as I'm still building a new PC and awaiting components...grrr!

Warning- SPOILERS
That's most of the new things I think, unfortunately the manual does not include a ship list! There is a screenshot showing a list of missions presumably from the core campaign or perhaps just single missions. The titles give us some indication of the content...
1 Round turn in the harbour
2 Tight fit
3 Fire Patrol
4 Dual tow
5 Heavy traffic in Hamburg
6 Pride of Rotterdam at the Straits of Dover
7 In sight of the Harbor
8 Coastguard duty
9 Southbound across the Pacific
10 Departing from down under
11 North Atlantic crossing

I like the sound of that

I expect that is all your gonna get about dover for the minute :(
What a shame that your buliding your PC, and you happen to be the first one to get it :doh:
-
Warning- SPOILERS
Going through the text of the manual (which has no ship list) the ships mentioned are...
Esperanza
Pride of Rotterdam
Ocean Star
Ocean Prince
Pilot boat Pioneer
I'm sure many others are in the game!
-
Hold on a minute, Ocean Star?
Not Orient Star?
-
:(
No sign of a Dover-Calais vessel...
-
hmm..
you dont have any other PC to try it on? ;D
-
What a shame that your buliding your PC, and you happen to be the first one to get it :doh:
Yes, just my luck! I could try it on my old PC but I have already been having probs with SS2008 (and even more so with the fuel saving ship sim VStep released for free) since upgrading to the last of the AGP series graphics cards (Radeon HD 4670) so I doubt it would run there.
-
Just try it!
You may be able to scroll throe the menu's!
Please ;D
-
Just try it!
You may be able to scroll throe the menu's!
We just want the ship list... :evil:
-
And enviroment list! :2thumbs:
-
And a picture of the D-C map
-
And the game ;D
-
And the game ;D
Yes...
-
Since I know exactly how it feels to be waiting on every crumb of info in the last days before release I'll give it a try. One additional point of info I just noticed is that the game seems to be a Steam product.
-
Steam :o
Never thought it would be...
Thanx sonarman!!!! :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
-
WOO
excellent... :2thumbs:
-
And we want your money ;D
No not really :doh:
But I think it is adequate to award you now sir Sonarman!
...
-
Very nice! ;D
-
And funnily enough, from very early on I knew that SSE had a connection or something to do with Steam.
But I've never thought anything of it really because I didnt know what it was!
I still don't! ??? Anyone care to enlighten me? :)
-
All I know about steasm is that ot is very hot H2O, and can be used at high pressure to drive trains and cars and boats
Of course the question we all want to know...
Was it delivered by a Blonde Female Postman wearing a Captains hat...?
-
Game is installing a new version of PhysX, a bonus for those of you lucky enough to have hardware support for that!

Ha! I didn't ask for that much! Just an update as to the VSTEP website customers :thumbs:
As I don't think there has been any real official takes on it, just left in the air...
-

Moving the Release date forward two days...?
-
Don't think soo :P
-
That would be impossible, if Sonarman has already got it. Then thats just REALLY confusing!
And VSTEP know that if they do postpone it more then they have to jump into a river in Rotterdam! :doh:
I dont even remember where that rumour came from! Quite funny though!
-
Bah... be more positive.,.,.
So Sonarman, does The Solent look improved?
-

Frank said so himself
-
Ah! You see, the pressure is on! Thats the reason it cant be postponed any longer! hehe
-
Matthew, I know when I'm online, thanks for pointing that out. ;D
My take on this is that we are working with different publishers/dustributors for different areas of the globe, e.g. Focus Interactive for France, Paradox Interactive for UK/USA/etc., GameWorld for Benelux and they all have their own strategy, packaging differences, etc. This is up to them. As much as we would like to be the omnipotent dictator controlling everything (I kid ;)), after delivering it to the publishers, we are the developers and things at some stage when the game enters into the sales channel are out of our hand.
So don't be surprised if your edition/box is slightly different from the one Sonarman pictures. Ingame content however is completely the same though. I do know that the Paradox version uses STEAM, while other versions don't, but it makes no difference to the game content. He might have to wait for the 27th before his game will be playable though, as I notice he has a Paradox version.
Same for pricing and delivery. As far as delivery goes, again this is a per territory/per publisher issue and very much the case of how fast express services work. I can assure you that we at VSTEP are all doing our best to get you your copies on time but at some stage it is up to the postal services and games on stock.
Take care,
Frank
-
I'm still going to be the last person to get it... :thumbdown:
-
Back up and running! the game is now installing Visual C+++ redistributable stuff
-
Nice! ;D
-
Hurry it up... we are impatient... :doh:
-
:evil:
-
Brilliant thanks Frank :thumbs:
Only I didnt know if on the VSTEP account website it will state when it has been shipped.
But I suppose you have just answered that, depending on the company.
And it looks like it's going to be the lazy guys at MRW in Spain :doh: :( who cant be bothered to deliver even when your in!
Oh well :lol:
EDIT: I will look at Paradoxs website to see who the distributor is for Spain...
-
Game is rejecting my Steam activation code! Either a support nightmare for VStep which I doubt or more likely the activation code only becomes active on release day looks like we will all probably be enjoying the game at the same time after all, clever old VStep! oh well at least we know a litle bit more about the game now!
-
What the Pride of Bilbao is a Steam code?
-
I get the game until December 4th when I have a birthday :C, because my machine does not have enough power and memory, I also get a new computer. :)
-
Yes Frank said that your version is a STEAM version so it wont work until release day :thumbs:
-
A steam code is an activation key you type into the game to authorise it on the steam network to allow you to play the game.
-
What's the Steam network>
-
Smart move by Vstep, I must admit! :P
-
What's the Steam network>
Hi TFM,
The Steam network is a bit like a game manager. It checks to see if you have the latest updates to certain games, networking and online capabilities.
At least, that's what I can remember about steam :)
-
What if you don't have Internet connection?
Or just take the plug out and set the clock two days in advance...
-
It won't work like that :)
VSTEP probably won't active the license key service until release day. So at the moment it's probably rejecting all incomming requests :)
-
What's the Steam network>
The steam network is the foremost platform for the digital distribution & activation of games. You can buy games online at steampowered.com & download them to your PC the games are tied to your account on steam so you can install them on as many PCs at you want as long as you only run one copy of a game a time.
Once activated most games can be played in offline mode no problem. It is much less invasive than the horrible DRM favoured by Ubisoft in submarine sim Silent Hunter 5 where you must be connected to the internet at al times to play.
-
Thats a good one TFM Ive got to admit :evil:
Not to say I can try it yet, as it hasnt come.
I wont know yet because I have to walk down to the post office :o
Silly me sending it there!
-
It won't work like that :)
VSTEP probably won't active the license key service until release day. So at the moment it's probably rejecting all incomming requests :)
But if you pull the plug, or not allow internet access...?
-
Sorry if this is a daft question, but does this mean we need a steam account to install the game?
-
But if you pull the plug, or not allow internet access...?
I imagine it still wouldn't work, because the game cannot access the internet in order to activate, so the game itself may reject the license key, because it can't check to see if it's valid or not.
Like I said, I am just assuming of course :)

???
-
Sorry if this is a daft question, but does this mean we need a steam account to install the game?
Yes, looks like it for boxed purchases at least, probably not though if you buy the downloadable version through VStep/Gamersgate as Paradox's Gamersgate platform is a direct competitor to Steam. But Frank/ Vstep would have to confirm that one.
-
Paradox boxed versions require STEAM and a one time internet activation (after this one time activation you can then play the game offline without internet activation every next time you play it.)
The other boxed versions don't have STEAM integration.
-
Interesting,
Quite smart thought,
Good against Piracy :2thumbs:
-
But what if you didn't have internet access?
Yes, that's more and more of a problem these days as Silent Hunter 5 users found out to their cost they must have a permanent connection or they cannot even play the game. Thankfully Steam & Vstep's solution is not so demanding a one time internet activation is in most cases all that is needed then you can play in offline mode.
-
So can Sonarman not play it til Friday then?
and what if you have never heard of Steam before today?
*Like me...
-
But what if you didn't have internet access?
???
Then you wouldn't be posting on the forum! ;D

Nope, the door is locked! Gives me time to build my new system anyway and see the game at it's best, at least I can look at the manual & polish the box!

not very fair - paid 40 euros and can't play the game... :thumbdown:
-

Of course it is. The game has not been officially released anyway it's just Sonarman has the game in physical form :)

Well the date was a few days back... :doh:
-

That is correct. Unless you buy the download version directly from steam (www.steampowered.com) of course.
-
Well the date was a few days back... :doh:
That's another story ;)

thanx for the info ! :thumbs:

Still, thats incredibly cheap though. 17 Pounds with P&P included :doh:
Oh well, I wonder who is going to be 2nd to get their game :P
And 3rd.
I cant get into the post office now it closed at 2 O'clock :o What a a silly culture we have here :doh:
-
Not me...
I have to wait until after Bank Holiday...
-
im even more anxious now ;D
-
Aren't we all...
just a shame Sonarman couldn't play it to give us all the juicy details...
like Dover-Calais...
And new ferries...
And Dover-Calais...
and Portsmouth...
And Dover-Calais...
And Dover-Calais...
-
i read somewhere thats possible to install games without steam, but i don`t know or you can install SSE without steam
-
How can you post if your pc is not finised?? ???
-
Ahh but if Sonarman leaks the 'juicy' details, it would spoilt it for others :)
-
Ahh but if Sonarman leaks the 'juicy' details, it would spoilt it for others :)
No it won't...
f so no one can post anything about it til I get my Game on Monday... :C
-
is the sigita also on your game
-
ya i was just about to say when capt. spencer beat me to it ;D but i would rather find out myself than know everything, or maybe little bits of info here and there
-
If it was me, I would want to see things for myself, because the surprise would be not so great having seen it on a forum :)
That's my view anyway..
-

That means you won't see me then until next Tuesday...

I got D-Load Version.........BUT YOUR SOOOOO LUCKY. YOUR PROBOLY THE VERY FIRST TO PLAY IT BEFORE IT CAM E OUT!!!!!!! I HATE YOU RIGHT NOW BUT IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!!! :P :doh: :thumbs: :evil: ??? :-[ ;D :captain:
-
Hi Tecumseh,
No need to shout in caps please, and saying you hate someone is a little harsh, even in the humorous manner :)
-

Don't worry, all I have at the moment is a nice box & manual and a game I can't activate till the 27th and an empty deskspace where the computer capable of running it should be!
-
Ahh but if Sonarman leaks the 'juicy' details, it would spoilt it for others :)
Good point, I've added some spoiler warnings to my earlier posts, but as we all know Ship sim fans are a bit like the Borg..."resistance is Futile" as far as SSE news goes!
-
Haha yes Sonarman, that is true but hopefully the majority will be able to enjoy the game all at once :)
-
Paradox boxed versions require STEAM and a one time internet activation (after this one time activation you can then play the game offline without internet activation every next time you play it.)
The other boxed versions don't have STEAM integration.
Good to know, i just canceled my preorder from a german onlineshop and ordered the paradox version from england, it is a bit cheaper and it will have steam support :D (even if i may have to wait a few days more to get it now ;))
-
@ Riddip
I assume by your perfect English although you apppear to be in Germany you don't need a German version, the UK version I have received has an English only printed manual although I'm not sure what languages are offered by the UK game release itself as we are currently "locked out" till the 27th.
-
Thats a good point, I love suprises!
I think I will vanish on the 27th at least until my game comes :thumbs:
It would possibly be a good idea to create a new topic entitled "SSE SPOILER WARNING! - Game contents"
And only there you are allowed to post the actual contents of the game.
So you don't post in the cookiebox for example. I'm sure there would be quite a few people who have not recieved the game. or are going to get the game for a while and would prefer not to see whats in the game :2thumbs:
Am I right or am I right? !
Kind Regards
Matthew
-
Sounds good! :thumbs:
-
At first, I was like this.
:D
But now, I'm like this.
:-[
Basically, the info given in this thread was stuff we already knew. Also, needing steam to activate the game and having them block all license key requests before 00:00 on the 27th? Well played, Vstep. xD *Still can't wait for my copy* =3
-
I can`t wait until friday! :C :C
By the way the download version of SSE will be 1,4 Gb big. !:)
-
Thank you Mr Postman! my copy of Extremes arrived this morning along with the other Paradox naval title "Commander: Conquest of the Americas". Unfortunately I won't be running them just yet though as I'm still building a new PC and awaiting components...grrr!
Who did you order it from :evil:
-
I have new news,wich are fair for all,i read on the german that every license key is locked until the release time(27/8)
Edit:and the post was from Mad_Fred!
-
Sonarman, in the manual, was there a keyboard control layout? Was there also a helicopter control layout...?

Yes.. Frank told us some pages ago.... ::)
sorry,didnt saw it...

No worries :thumbs:
Thanks for telling us anyway :)
-
sorry i couldent be bovered to look throgh the whole topic because its problely there somewhere but where did u order it from like Eg. paradox,shipsim.com,amazon.....?
-
Maybe you should be bothered though, instead of letting someone else spend more time to write down, what he already has written.
It's on page one even... ;)
Fred
-
Yes I ordered from coolshop.co.uk which had the best price £17.99 - 5% quidco discount!
Here's the pic...

Ok thanks TJK

Won't the shop get in trouble with the publisher for sending out the game early?
I reem to recollect the time when Tesco got into BIG trouble with a major book publisher for selling new Harry Potter books a day early before its official release.... :doh:
-
Sonarman, in the manual, was there a keyboard control layout? Was there also a helicopter control layout...?
Hi dodweb
No heli controls as far as I can see (that would have been cool) The new water cannon can be controlled either with the mouse or the YHGJ keys though.
-
Won't the shop get in trouble with the publisher for sending out the game early?
Considering that the game is locked until the 27th, I dont think it matters much...
And thanks for looking, sonarman!

Difficult to say, UK suppliers are at the mercy of the Royal Mail with it's highly variable delivery times so some may post a day or two early to guarantee customer satisfaction.
Anyway that problem is really solved now, as dodweb indicates, as the game even boxed product is effectively locked by it's activation date. I may have it in my paws right now... but I can't play it until it's official release date either.
Nice CalMac logo by the way Kevin. We need to keep pushing for our Firth of Clyde/Western Isles scenery & the Calmac vessels + Waverley to go with it !!!
-
How can you get the game before it is realsed?? ???

Because the companies who took pre-orders have shipped the games out early, but it doesn't matter sincle you can't activate your copy until the 27th :)

Anyway that problem is really solved now, as dodweb indicates, as the game even boxed product is effectively locked by it's activation date. I may have it in my paws right now... but I can't play it until it's official release date either.
Nice CalMac logo by the way Kevin. We need to keep pushing for our Firth of Clyde/Western Isles scenery & the Calmac vessels + Waverley to go with it !!!
Thanks sonarman :thumbs:
It's just as well Vstep had a trick up its sleeve to ensure no-one is able to play SSE earlier than 27th August with the activation codes....the shop can consider themselves lucky they won't have an irate publisher on the phone! ;D
Cheers re CalMac logo, the image actually comes from a CalMac ferry (MV Loch Shira) which has the CalMac crest on its side, and I just zoomed onto that.
I agree with the comment re Clyde/Western Isles and the paddle steamer Waverley. Hopeful something for Vstep to look at their next project, perhaps? (Ship Simulator 2013? ;D)
-
I agree with Waverley - especially as it it something completely different to whats in the game at the moment - there is nothing like her...
but we are drifting off topic...
-
SSE is now also available in Belgium
http://www.gamemania.be/Default.aspx?tabid=87&gmgame=23870

Can we download it earlier from shipsim.com?

that we are ... however I can also agree with Waverley and I have had the chance to steer her and dispite what everyone else says ... and dispite her tiny rudder ... she is VERY manoeuvrable and is an absolute joy to steer!!

Me too, she is very much improved after her 2000 rebuild, before that she was a total pig!
-
so is the Multiplayer in SSE set up in the same way as it was with SS08? or do we just register the new lisence key for our copies of SSE onto our profiles on here and MP is then set up for SSE?
-
Thats a point, have you tried registering your license key on the forum yet sonarman?

No, don't need support yet (as it won't let me install) so haven't done that. I'm pretty sure it will be fine as there are no other codes in the packaging and it looks to be a similar length to previous codes.
-
You should still try... ;D
-
Ok, I just tried it and it seems to work ok!
-
And...?
Any new lights? Gadgets? bells and Whistles?
-
No new downloadables in my forum a/c but I now have access to all the Extremes forums.

Pretty much the standard set as with SS2006/2008

General discussions
Multiplayer
Feature requests and suggestions
Media
Technical support
Although they are of course all rather empty at present.

Yes, sadly although the box manual and disc are in my hands the game cannot be installed at the moment as the activation code does not become active untiil the release day!
Worse still although I have the game I haven't quite finished building my new PC (awaiting parts) Ironically although I appear to be the first person on the planet to get the game, most of you will probably be playing the game before me!!! >:( :doh:

He was the first "civilian" though... :doh:
-
err...
Did I join an armed service without knowing it? ;D
But there's also some people in Belgium, Germany, Holland and Switzerland, so it seems, that already have a copy. And there's probably people that are not forum members but could also have ordered it from the same place that he did. ;D
I grant you one thing though... he was the first person to post about having it, in the 'non-staff and non-testers' part of the community.
Or.. indeed.. 'the first person on the planet' :thumbs:
(or is there a world out there that no one told me about?)

Bah - I am even the last person from Amazon to get it though - Ryan123 got an E-Mail from Amazon saying his copy has been sent out...

Yeah I know what you mean, mate. Was just kidding. ;D
Ah well.. they can't play untill the switch is flicked, anyway. You can still be right in time. And there's a downside to already having it..
Imagine being so excited that you have it early, that you scratch the disc while opening the case in a 'wow I can't believe it's early' state of ecstacy, when the dvd flies out, flies out the window and lands shiney-side-down on the gravel path just when you're overweight aunty comes to visit and she steps on it...in stiletto heels. ::)

:o :o WHAT!! Axcuse me for yelling thts rediculouse and how are they ganna know your 13 or not
-
They know you know... :evil:
-
no seriously dude do you put your age in whene you buy it or something?
-
It says it on your forum account :)
Once it's there you can't change it :doh:
-
what are you talking about ::)
my age is over 13 in my account look
-
No! It's best to leave your account age alone, its got nothing to do with that!
Anyway last time I checked, you had to be atleast 3 years old to play SSE!

I think you tick a box...
but uys I do not recommend these... lies :-\
-
Ah well.. they can't play untill the switch is flicked, anyway.
I'm surprised no-one yet has asked at what time exactly the switch will be flicked.. ;D
-
ummmm i have asked frank twice with no reply. seeing as the pre orders were available on business hours so i imagine that "switch" will be flipped then too :2thumbs:
-
Note.. you don't need to be 13 to play the game.
But, If you use steam, than you might be dealing with money transfers, and obviously, there is a minimum age that goes with handling money online.
So to try to get a parent or guardian to make sure everything goes well with younger clients, they have that in place.
If you can just tick a box, sure then who is to know. But if lateron something goes wrong, then the parent or guardian has responsibility, and not the people at Steam.
So it's a protection that works both ways.
-
i knew tht fred i always have my dad or grama help me purchase things online. and im nit lieng either :P
they make sure i do it right and im getting good at it. i would like to to id by myself but they always have to watch :C but like you said its there responsibility if something goes wrong not mine
-
A wise approach indeed! Good on you! :thumbs:
-
I have been getting quite a lot of PM's here about some people already being able to play the game.
As I stated in a previous reply, not all boxed versions use STEAM, only the Paradox versions. The boxed versions without STEAM are using a normal installer and will be playable when they arrive. It all depends where you ordered from and which version they are carrying (Paradox, Focus, Gameworld, VSTEP etc.).

do i get an e-mail when i can download my version?

What contains my download version?
Manual, warranty, ...?
How many times can I download it for personal use?
I'm from Belgium, working in France and I am in Slovakia late August/early September.
Can it be downloaded from any country, from my account?
How will it work?
Thanks
Kris
-
Larsdehaan - You should recieve an email at 00:00 on 27th August 2010 (only guessing, this is what happens to normal games), inside that email will be your license key, download link to download itand also there should be a pdf file of some sort which would be the manual.
Krisostend - Your download version will contain everything a boxed version would have. The license key will be in the email along with an online version of the manual in pdf format.
You can only download and use Ship Simulator on 1 computer. If you want to use it on another computer you will have to uninstall it from the first one.
And I believe that incase something goes wrong, you will always have access to the original download file :thumbs:
And yes you can download it from any country, if you have a faster computer then it will be a bit faster downloading.
Kind Regards
Matthew

i thought Paradox was global...?
So who is doing the UK version?
-
Paradox IS doing the UK. Also USA :thumbs:
Anywhere else it's different, like France is Focus interactive for example :thumbs:
EDIT: If you were in reference to sonarman, that hes in the UK. Well...
I recall the website he ordered from was a Danish run company, thus it would not be Paradox but another one.

As with many other online download sites, I'm sure there will probably be various different mirrors (Servers)

The game will be released when it's released, no sooner. I'm sure there will be a few ways to download the game from Vstep, such as the website and emails. Please be patient. Patience is key :)

The more impatient you are, the longer it will seem to release. Just set an alarm for a certain time, and then put the game out of your mind and do something else. It will help, I've been doing it since August 9th :thumbs:

my PC crashed when i tryed using SS08 with SS06 still on the PC, so i had to uninstall it, plus when SSE come out TOMOROW then everones gona be on SSE nd not SS08, then after playing SSE then playing SS08 again afterwards, it just doesnt feel like it used to and i think some other things in life are rather similar............. :evil:

After playing GTA San Andreas for so long, I thought it was brilliant.
But when GTA IV came along I was like double wow.
Whenever I play GTA San Andreas now I just think: eww look at the graphics how could I have liked that!
Everything in the world keeps moving up different levels once you see an updated version of something you dont like the old version anymore :thumbs:
I suspect that will be the same with SSE!

sure it was not selektvracht?
No looked just like this

if you have a anti virus program that run and if some other program that writhe to you HD that are the reason it take so long time, close down all programs and live the PC to it self then you should get it to be finished

OK, will do thanks for the advice :thumbs:

you can also use gamebooster.
that program shut down al unnessacery programs
and make you pc a littel bit faster

i saw yesterday a DHL truck,and????noooothing
TODAY,i saw on the near of my house a white truck,and i saw a paper on the window and this was saying:Working for "Deutsche Post"(Partner of DHL or same the DHL)and i run to my house,
AND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nothing
iI GOANNA BE CRAZY
but tommorow :sleepy: after so mouch houres and i cant go to my house untill 16:00(GE time)
i am 9999999999999999999999999999999% shure that i comes and when it dont comes:
the shure was without reason :sleepy: :sleepy: :sleepy: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh:
-
I am new here and have just read this whole board,
You guys posting that they are waiting for DHL are driving me nuts
I am sat in my home office watching the CCTV, jumping up every time a white van goes by.
Then the post arrived (At last) and i watched him on CCTV get out with a small parcel, i ran past my wife knocking her to the floor to get there fast.
It was then i realised i had ordered the download version :doh:
-
lol
-
This is the fastest growing topic I've seen in a while. I think if I take a break for an hour it'll double in size! :lol:
The one downside to my timezone is, according to mark's thread, the soonest possible time that I can get the game will be 3am, however people on the other coast can get it at 12am exactly. :doh: Oh well, I'll just have to wake up early and download it in the morning, I expect the forum will be a ghost town tomorrow. ;D
-
Actually it will probably be the opposite, once the game is released tomorrow the forum will probably be the busiest it has ever been.
You'll all be posting screenshots and asking us technical questions ;)
-
Yes, thats when the technical support questions and complaints start flooding in :doh:
You better be ready CaptainSpencer!
-
Yup!
If you all think us mods will be playing the game then you'd better think again! We'll be too busy getting everyone else playing the game :thumbs:
-
Hehehehe
I know Spence, been there, done that, for far too long ;D
But thats also part of the fun of being a Mod/Adm ;)
Good luck guys, you'll need it :thumbs:
-
Hehe Tracker, thanks :)
-
The suspense is killing me.
I hope it lasts. =3 In the meantime, I'll keep myself busy with Marseilles Madness or Flight Simulator X. =D

Very excited for SSE after watching SS develop from SS06.
I'm just wondering what postal service you guys are using for shipment into Canada and are we going to get the Paradox (US/UK) version or another version?
Thanks,
Apple
-
Game has arrived... but cannot activate it on Steam... sucks...
One other thing, where is my bonus content ? I pre-ordered a long time ago.
Do you only get the bonus content if you order through shipsim.com ? (if so, where was the info on this?)
-
Did you order through the VSTEP website?!!
EDIT: thats right you used coolshop UK. But thats very very odd :/

-
Game has arrived... but cannot activate it on Steam... sucks...
One other thing, where is my bonus content ? I pre-ordered a long time ago.
Do you only get the bonus content if you order through shipsim.com ? (if so, where was the info on this?)
only if you order at shipsim.com sorry
-
You can activate it tomorrow.
I assume it will be on the disc, I wouldn't imagine they would use an extra disc just to put a fishing vessel and some missions on.
I can't remember exactly, but I think there is a notice at the end of the content video "From selected Pre-order partners"

My plan for this weekend:
Friday - if the SSE doesn't arrive on my doorstep then I will watch Star Wars Ep I-III.
Saturday - if my SSE still don't show up then it's Star Wars Ep IV-VI.
The way things are, it looks like a Star Wars DVD feast for me this Bank Holiday weekend :2thumbs:
-
Star Wars sounds great :captain:
Do you want me to bring chips? And Coke? And Girls? :D

Sure it says that the "official" pre-orders will start 9th August on shipsim.com, this is a very strange way to put it as I pre-ordered much earlier from a normal retailer (apparently "unofficial").
I just think that they could have been more clear about this... or maybe its just me...
A bit strange that it depends on where I buy it if I get the bonus content, I still pre-ordered....

If you pre-ordered before 9th somewhere other than shipsim.com, you will probably not get the bonus content.

found that out just after posted that
-
I preorder it on gamersgate and I will get bonus content too....hope to download it for 03 Hours 55 Minutes :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
-
when was vstep allowed to gamersgate to sell the ship wich was only for the preordering from the shipsim site?
-
Why not...paradox allowed it i think

Paradox & Gamersgate are one and the same! i.e. GamersGate is the digital distribution division of Paradox.
-
ok,thanks
-
I'm not so sure any more that I can play the game tomorrow :'(.
Unless VSTEP posted the box 4 - 9 days ago :doh:
See Attachement
-
Im not going to order it from the ship sim website. :doh:
-
I already have ;D But I ordered it on the 9th so they have had plenty of time to ship it :2thumbs:

Thanks, Lars, especially for those last 5 words

Well, if the 15 Business Days thing hold true, I won't get it until the 7th of September. Which is, by coincidence, the VERY DAY I got back to school, meaning I can't enjoy it. *Headesks*
-
Thank God I bought the download version :D :lol:
Na' in all seriousness...I think V-STEP/Paradox will do their best to get it to peoples doors as soon as they can...I can't say I've ever waited any longer than 4 days for a game to arrive (Depending on whether you're including the weekend or not).
Jack.

I see some of the guys on the Dutch forum have received the game and are playing it now & I also read that the first patch is already underway!
HINT: You can use Google translate to decode their "secret transmissions"!
-
Good idea! Wish me luck I'm entering their secret HQ ::)
Shhhhh! :doh:

What? O.o No women? Why not? =P
I still like the idea of Vstep getting ladies to hand-deliver copies of SSE in sailor outfits. x3 In a perfect world, it would be a reality.

Dude you have no idea how amazing tht will be :D

Dude you have no idea how amazing tht will be :D
I dunno, I have an extremely potent imagination. =P
Edit:
Question:
Is there any way to know the status of my Boxed Pre-order if I pre-ordered it from the Ship Sim site? I'm paranoid about knowing if it got shipped or not and when it might get here. x3 (Me and 5,000 other people, I'm sure.)
-
What size is the boxed version anyway ? Is it small enough that the mailman could quietly slip it into your letterbox ?
Or would he need to ring your doorbell to hand it to you..? :)
(standard letterbox size here is 26,5 x 3.2 cm)
-
At a minimum it appears to be no larger than a standard DVD case, but it probably has a little but of bubble wrap around it.
-
In the first case you would need to check your letterbox every day, (something I don't normally do)
In the second case, someone should be at your home to greet the mailman, (preferably with sounding of trumpets and strewing of flower petals by pretty maidens.. ;D )
-
My game... has been dispatched... :thumbs:
*Starts praying First Class gets hit here tomorrow...
-
I had an email my game will arrive this afternoon
-
I did not order the boxed version only the download and as yet no email to the link to download it. I am beginning to think that I should have ordered the boxed version. Yes there is a patch on the ship sim web site http://www.shipsim.com/downloads/updates (http://www.shipsim.com/downloads/updates). When I get the nod to download will I be able to will the servers be able to cope, will I be playing SSE today? I hope so.
Has anyone got the email with the link to download yet? :-\ 8)
-
you dont get an email with the downloader, it is in your profile on shipsim site in your order&download section

Same here. Still no sign of the SSE game, so it's Star Wars EpI-III for me tonight.
I will need to drink a few strong drinks before I can face that pure annoying Jar Jar Binks character! lol
-
Hehe! good luck with that!

lol, good one! Some Star Wars fans even went as far as making a version without the Jar Jar Binks character in the film - George Lucas got wind of this and was not very happy!
Sorry, going off topic now, so I'll stop now..... :angel:
