Guys,

Don't throw in the towel at the first hurdle. Calm down, give us the details of the issue and I'm sure VSTEP will work on this issue.

Please understand, things don't always work as smooth as we would all like :)

I got a graphic problem. My ships bow wakes, and my wakes as well as the watertrack behind me ships are flickering. One moment I see them and the next moment they are gone. I have done a clean install but didn't help.

Any suggestions??

Hmm.. Weird that so many accoured this error.. Worked perfectly at first start for the new update  :2thumbs: Well done, But the FPS seems to slowly decrease rather than increase  :-\
Title: Re: Patch 1.3.5
Post by: Mad_Fred on March 09, 2011, 16:32:47
Well if you only got the update after it was fixed, then you wouldn't have encountered the problem. Which was a minor hiccup, really. And fixed right away.  :thumbs:

It may take a little while for the Steam folks to go live with all of them, but they do have the patch and should update the Steam versions soon.

It also depends on what region you are in and such, it takes a little time.

i never downloaded V1.3 so i'm not sure if it's an issue within that, but when on the Red Eagle with the alternative cameras the locations are wrong, camera 1 is in the centre of the bridge and camera 2 is outside towards the stern.

Havn't found anything about this so not sure if it's a new issue with 1.3.5. Anyone else have this problem?

I found this as well Ralphy. Also, when increasing throttle on forward unit, the thrust attempts to go into negative rpm's, which do nothing on a vs drive ferry. Don't really understand what they were trying to accomplish with this or if its just a bug. Obviously not tested prior to the release, again, or was and just allowed in anyways, oh well, at least they are trying I guess......

Nice to see Red Eagle has thrust direction indicators. Trouble is you can only see them with your binoculars.
Also they don't go 360 degrees..  They look strangely similar to the meters on the left..

Voith Schneider Steering is 90 degree both sides, not 360 degree around.

Thats like reality.

Oh well, I'll be back at the airport if you need me  :doh: :P

P.S. POR's new ramp door is brilliant but as I saw someone else say, the options for red eagle to do that just arent there.
And the cinematic cameras colored lines have gone.

Title: Re: Patch 1.3.5
Post by: Heikodewal on March 10, 2011, 21:21:19
FPS went up a lot until......  I tried a mission I created with 2 whales. As soon as I gave the start command to the whales the FPS plunged from 18 to 3 fps. I created the mission last week and had no problems at all. Ofcourse the framerate dropped a little bit but not like this.

Edit: Heart from Marty that something changed in the behaviour of the whales, got it running again
Second thing I noticed: the rudder indicator of the Esperanza rhib works the wrong way. It indicates starboard when you turn to port and vv.
Third: The colore guides of the cinematographic camera are gone, they were very helpfull, now you have to guess what the max distance is.

Thanks eviss, it's confusing..   I wish they would just copy the 08Eagle in the game.. ;D
You're right, the reason for no movement was because the VSPs were driving in opposite directions..(see pic)
That means you can't go straight ahead or back with both props..
 (1=bow prop driving you backwards, 2=aft prop driving you forward)

Oh dear... So only one VSP can be used when going forward, and the other for only when going "astern"?

That doesn't seem right...?
Title: Re: Patch 1.3.5
Post by: saltydog on March 10, 2011, 22:25:57
It certainly isn't an improvement.  Trouble is the steering isn't 360 degrees, as I think it should be on a VSP ship..
You can use the #1 to go forwards, but not straight ahead, only an angle

Hello All,

Only 1 engine on the RED EAGLE is working forward right now (think it is the engine 2)   :doh:

Shut down the nr. 1 engine and you'll go forward !    ;D

Now you can use the nr 1 engine to slow down. I'm still trying / testing !  :-\

The picture with the indicators, that Luc showed before says it all !   8)

Good luck , regards Erik


PS I have a surprise using the RED EAGLE !  ;D

True, just simulated your situation !  :thumbs:

Hi,

i've updated ship simulator extremes to 1.3.5 and now my controls are broken.
I have set 'left arrow' for rudder 1+2 to left and 'right arrow' rudder 1+2.

But when in the tow boat (2 rudders), left doesn't work so i can only steer to the right.
When on a big ship (1 rudder), right doesn;'t work so i can only steer to the left.

I tried resetting the controls but that doesn't seem to help.

Edit: The reset for rudder 1+2 is also broken

what to do?

i've updated ship simulator extremes to 1.3.5 and now my controls are broken.
I have set 'left arrow' for rudder 1+2 to left and 'right arrow' rudder 1+2.

But when in the tow boat (2 rudders), left doesn't work so i can only steer to the right.
When on a big ship (1 rudder), right doesn;'t work so i can only steer to the left.

I tried resetting the controls but that doesn't seem to help.

Edit: The reset for rudder 1+2 is also broken

what to do?

gr Michel

Your Joystick an switch analog-digital?
Try switch and reset control settings.

But Rudder 1+2 will also not work.

As i typed, i already tried to reset settings.

I don't have a joystick, just using the keyboard. And it worked fine in 1.3.0

Same here.
Performance got better, but finally I hardly can believe the patches are tested very well. Steering issues are nothing really special concerning ships and it's finally not the first test version being released now! Normally I am very understanding but I'm beginning to feel pissed!

The performance has been drastically improved with the 1.3.5 Patch. But concerning other bugs, I think that SSE has been built upon a totally wrong codebase!

Hello Aad,
There is indeed a missing part on both consoles, and it is the panel to open the doors and the barriers.
This panel was not originally intended for this ferry, and the resource must lie somewhere else than in the patch 1.3.5, I have seen that you already discovered from where it comes, and certainly imagine why I wasn't aware it was missing.  ::)
But it is lost (for me) somewhere deep in an anonymous file, and we will ask to the master of the scene to publish/distribute the resource in a next patch (or faster?).
Regards,
Luc

To be honest I'm in the same situation as you in that respect...If I take my graphics settings down I still don't get particularly good performance, so whatever I do, I'm stuck really. I can't take it all the way down, because the game looks awful :C, and in exchange, I still don't get good performance :sleepy:

I also have a new problem now...since the update, for some reason, about 5 minutes into my game, the performance drops right down to the extent that it's no longer playable. I don't have a clue what's triggered this ???
Title: Re: Patch 1.3.5
Post by: mvsmith on March 13, 2011, 16:55:31
Gentlemen,
If reducing your graphics settings does not increase your FPS, that is because your graphics system is not the major consumer of the time between frames.  The time spent by the CPU in the computations necessary for ship dynamics, AI/Autopilot, little men wandering about, etc., is the cause of low FPS.

Title: Re: Patch 1.3.5
Post by: LucAtC on March 13, 2011, 17:34:44
Depending on your CPU, it could be throttled down because of its temperature. You can check it with for instance CPU-Z or Real Temp (http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1872/Real-Temp-3.60.html) if the CPU is Intel. Cleaning the cooling fins or checking if it is firmly seated could help.

For me the update was a great improvement!

Still some bugs (like ships committing suicide by bumping against at the quay wall and jumping away from it or the game crashing in some missions etc.) but at least I'm able to play the game now.

even if the frame rate isn't that high, it feels a lot more smooth - although still only one core is utilized.
It is a step in the right direction - I don't feel that it's a roll back.

I even look forward to the ferry pack - I didn't care for at all before the update.

I'm surprised to hear that only 1 core is still utilized, that should definitely be changed.  The patch did make a huge improvement in my framerate though.

Hi Spitman, that´s somehow... funny  ::)

My Ship driver and my ship console have now problems to find the zero-point. It´s now as if they stop reacting right when on 1-6 % away from the middle (on the way back to zero) and then I have to switch back to forward and back again to find a position where the machines go to zero. It´s also the same with the rudder.. (Of course I used all posibilities in Windows to set them correctly)

Hu,.. this patch really loves me  :doh:

best wishes

I think I have discovered why this is happening.

In free roam I was playing PRIDE OF ROTTERDAM in Port of Rotterdam to see what it's like lowering her stern ramp at the ferry terminal. All fine until I deployed one of her FRC to have a look around near the vessel. Next thing POR starts to bump agianst the pier and suffered damage. (she was tied up to the pier)

In another player mission I was playing AGILE SOLUTION and as I was approaching one of the waypoints to tie at a berth, there was another AI vessel going past VERY close. Next thing AGILE SOLUTION starts to shake like mad and suffered damage (while still tied to the pier).

So I'm thinking these two incidents are connected - the playable vessel just don't like other vessels passing very close to them, especially when tied up at a pier.

Anyone noticed similar problem as well?
