Ah, but the box is ~~shiny~~ A great way to keep your copy of Ship Simulator in a beautifully made illustrated carrying case made from the finest plastic.

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #76 on:** July 28, 2010, 18:19:58 »

True...

but if it doesn't run, can I download it again later?

McGherkin · « **Reply #77 on:** July 28, 2010, 18:24:14 »

I think they send it to you in an email, so I would just save the email to drafts

I imagine it will be like the Elbe/Furie where you buy it, then log into your account on www.shipsim.com to download it whenever you need it again?

Pride of Dover · « **Reply #79 on:** July 28, 2010, 21:59:25 »

but by doing that wouldnt he be able to send it to other people?
i mean, it works for Virtual sailor, i can use it on my laptop and desktop and i only paid for it once

I assume it will be like that at least, thats how the digital downloads of 2008 are delivered at least.

Like this:
Downloads overview
â– Ship Simulator 2008
â– Ship Simulator 2008 New Horizons
â– Seagoing motortugboat "Elbe"
Clicking the link will start the download, easy as that.

Sure you CAN, youre just not ALLOWED to. Like going 100mph down the wrong lane of the freeway.
You can use your DVD to install it on multiple PC's too, and I imagine most people do (desktop, laptop, work aso), in reality I think they dont overly care about that as long as you dont give your key away to someone else.

Yes, Im going to get the download too, not up for waiting a week for the box to it make its way up to frozen litltle Norway.

You can do that with CDs though

And no, that was not what I was planning, my comp is 2.4 GHz - if it doesn't work, I wouldn't want to fork out another set of cash for another copy...

3 MORE DAYS

saltydog · « **Reply #84 on:** August 24, 2010, 23:33:37 »

Yes, just a few more days..

Just received an update on my order from Coolshop (UK) which says that SSE is being packed now for postal delivery on the 27th so it's definitely happening!

Hold on second, if the game doesn't work, your going to get another copy?! Would in not be theother way around and get a new computer?

EDIT: Thats brillian Sonarman! So it should be with you on the 27th

But I must say that is rather odd, I thought VSTEP said you could only get the bonus pre order vessel when ordering through them? But yet you can here and for a much cheaper price

http://www.coolshop.co.uk/catalog/product/3024322-ship-simulator-extremes--pre-purchase--for-download

EDIT Nº2: And game say that too ??
http://game.gamesplanet.com/buy-download-pc-games/Ship-Simulator-Extremes-2005-39.html

And also if you look people... on the game website...

So that means that we WILL be playing by midnight?!! Well not me as I have a boxed version.

And I know what your probably going to say, about the big companies always getting it wrong, but it does seem rather odd.

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #87 on:** August 25, 2010, 10:17:04 »

NO no no, I was saying could I re download it if it never worked, but that doesn't matter now since I have a CD Version...

Also that is... strange...

Matthew Brown · « **Reply #88 on:** August 25, 2010, 10:20:24 »

Shame there's no one official online to answer it

Well they are but they're feeling a bit shy this morning

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #89 on:** August 25, 2010, 10:22:34 »

I am hoping for another Video today...

Captain Spencer · « **Reply #90 on:** August 25, 2010, 10:26:20 »

Hi guys,

If SSE is anything like SS08 was, you will have access to the Ship Simulator 08 download file, and will be able to download it as and when you need it. You will also have a license key to use with that download. This means that if I was to get a new computer, I can redownload SS08 Setup file, install it on my computer and use the same license key to validate that copy.

It may have changed for SSE however

Matthew Brown · « **Reply #91 on:** August 25, 2010, 11:48:44 »

What I meant was odd was my previous previous post

What do you make of that?

Captain Spencer · « **Reply #92 on:** August 25, 2010, 13:02:30 »

Hi Matthew,

Staff are not the only ones who can be hidden. You can change this in your forum profile, so it might not have been staff

Would you like me to ask this question to the team? There is probably no point as there is only just over a day until you will find out anyway

Me neither. But also the guys and gals who ordered the downloadable version will not be able to play by midnight

Why not

First they have to download about 4.2 GByte, that will take at least an hour of two.

Then they have to install the game. That will be about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the speed of their machines and the number of re-starts during and after the installation

.
And last but not least: Let's hope the ~~game~~ simulation will run at the first mouseclick.

That all to all added means not sooner than 2 hours and 30 minutes after they recieved the download link and the activation code

Captain Spencer · « **Reply #95 on:** August 25, 2010, 13:53:01 »

30 45 mins to install? I think not

I have a game of about that size and it only takes about 10 minutes. My machine isn't exactly fast either

Aad The Pirate · « **Reply #96 on:** August 25, 2010, 14:40:33 »

Ahoy Captain Spencer,
How much time did the installation of SS 08 take on your system

Captain Spencer · « **Reply #97 on:** August 25, 2010, 14:41:47 »

Well the original game took about 4 minutes

Aad The Pirate · « **Reply #98 on:** August 25, 2010, 14:48:21 »

It took almost 3 minutes on my machine just to initialisize the setup-file

Meaning the time after closing the CD-Tray and starting of the setup sequence

Captain Spencer · « **Reply #99 on:** August 25, 2010, 14:53:46 »

Well I suppose if you have a CD version it might be slower I guess, as I have the download version. So that might explain the differences, since the read-write time of a HDD is much quicker than a CD
