To be honest, I also experience very little bugs. Granted, it took some downloading of missions to fix problems after certain updates. But that was to be expected, some changes break previously made missions. You cannot avoid that sometimes.
My pc is very average, but my game is running very stable, and I do not experience crashes or any such problems. I'm lucky that my pc is perhaps setup a bit better than some (by chance, not by me
).
And I do know that Shipsim may make you tinker with things a bit more to get it right sometimes, compared to other titles that require less attention. I do agree there. A certain type of attitude is needed to be able to overcome the hickups caused by the game's teething troubles, and set it all up a bit better. Giving up and speaking ill of hard working people who actually do a better job that the developers of some of the sims I have in my collection, specially back when they were making their first few titles, is a bit rude, in my opinion.
Just because you experience these things, doesn't mean everyone does.. Usually when looked into, it's either the pc that's not up to it, user error, or the problems are things that were known and are fixed in the mean time. But yeah, you have to look around for them, it takes a bit of effort that not everyone likes to take, after paying for a game. Because you would expect a product to be flawless. Alas, in the game genre, this is very very rare.
But anyway if I compare it with my very large collection of other games and sims, and look at the prices, plus take into account the fact that there is no other title on the market that brings this kind of nautical simulation to the fans (non military I mean with that), I think it's very good value for money, myself.
I'm sure you can find answers and solutions to a lot of these bugs you experience, and unstable running, is usually a problem with the pc, not with the game. So perhaps you could post your dxdiag.. there might be something that can be updated or improved, perhaps?
