Hi temil
-for updates you must depend on Steam
-to see the build, click on 'Options', in the lower left hand corner of your screen it should read Build 1066, version 1.3.5
-the Ferry Pack has not yet been released..

You should register the number of your game.. You can do this in 'Profile' at the top of this page..

Do yourself a favour and don't update it, this patch will break the game for you.

I wish I hadn't.

To post such a thing is extremely wrong. If as355 has a problem, it is more than likely due to his hardware and not the update. Many players, probably most players, have found the 1.3.5 patch to be a great improvement.
Does he think that Vstep deliberately go out of their way to issue something which will "Break the game for you"?
I cannot think that anyone in their right mind would be foolish enough to say this.

Okay,.. sorry as355..

I didn´t listen to your warning,.. now my system keeps freezing and the fps are down to 10.  And Traddles,.. up to yesterday my system runs well.. okay.. the hovercraft didn´t hover and all the little peaks.. but al least it went well.. after the patch now,.. well it doesn´t anymore. And the only thing I changed was: I installed the patch!

Sorry, of course vstep didn´t do this on purpose.. and I´m still trying to keep my passion behind it, but not beeing able to do what I bought this game for for now over 7 month is,.. somehow.. not satisfiing.

As allways..hoping for the next patch to get my game up and running again and to let the hovercraft hover tha pad up and down again ...

You must remove SSE at first, including deleting your profile. You can use Revo Uninstaller for this purpose. Clean your windows register after de-installation of SSE with a registry cleaner. After that do a clean install of the original version of SSE. Finally patch SSE to version 1.3.5.

Something wrong with my hardware? I don't think so... 

Answer me this, why were things that were working previously now not working?
Where have the engine sounds for the Ocean star gone? Why doesn't the numpad period key not centre the rudders anymore? These things affect the core of the gameplay.

I never said vstep deliberately broke anything, don't put words in my mouth please.
This patch has problems you can't deny that - read the bug reports.

Why was it released with all those bugs? Surely testing would have borne that out but it appears it didn't.

I'm not whining for the sake of it, I loved shipsim 08 but extremes has been nothing but a disappointment for me.
Instead of saying my hardware is broken why don't you acknowledge that the game still isn't up to scratch?

As I have said in previous posts this game is priced at a premium and no-one can say it doesn't have it's faults.

FWIW I don't have a performance problem as I'm running a 4.5GHz Thuban, 8Gb ram, velociraptors and a HD5870. I don't get any crashes with the game. My problem is it's still not up to scratch gameplay wise, vessels bouncing at the dock etc never happened in 08.
All I want is a game that works as advertised as 08 did and it did it very well.

Accusing me of broken hardware is doing the company no favours and you're putting your head in the sand by saying so.
I'm not here to start any wars but I am disappointed at the quality as it stands.
I could have kept my mouth shut and never played the game again. But I would prefer to see things fixed and if that means getting on here and complaining then so be it.

Hi MokMok,

I never saw anything like this in the release notes, is this officially the way to do it or did you try it and found it works?

It is generally better to do a clean install from the ground. Bugs existing in the previous installations won't do any harm.

Couldn't agree more. I haven't played SSE since October because I've been busy, when I returned here I expected some improvements. Yes there was a new update, it solved some old problems but also created some new ones

I'll certainly second most SSE reviews around, it's 2 or 3 of a maximum 10.

Decided to trash SSE, going back to SS08. I actually miss it, everything working much better there, the great superpacks and all

[Atlantis05]

@MokMok and as355

Yes,.. generally I agreee with you...  in my case it didn´t change anything (oh yes... one thing, my sigita is now lost and whenever I try to reinstall her it says "No possible change allowed" and stops.. but that´s okay with me, as I didn´t use her up to now)

So... Clean install, but not change..    Framerate stays down and Hovercraft stays grounded  Got to wait for the next patch (again) *sniff* 

But as I´m starting to go back to SS08,... it´s also ok. Perhaps there will be a SS08-Dover-Calais-Superpack in the future?

best wishes

I hope it too!

[alex 3d]

they are no longer making 2008 stuff.

[Atlantis05]

Yes Alex,

we know this,... it was our way to express we are not hopeless 

Someday someone at vstep will upload some patch.    And that patch will fix our major problems 

best wishes,
Holger
