New SSE Gameplay

Indeed, many experience QV aborts, but that is seldom if ever a failure of QV. It is either due to a faulty installation or the inability of their system to handle an excessive amount of AI or total object count in a mission.

It has been explained more than once on this forum that QV is the run-time graphics engine for Quest3D, the development platform used by VSTEP for all of its products including Nautis and SSE.
Eliminating QV would require that VSTEP adopt a completely different development platform, which would be a large expense and require re-training or replacing the developers.

Stubbornly blaming QuestViewer for your problems instead of trying to understand the real causes will probably result in unhappiness with SSE.
One common faulting module reported by QV in SS08 has been eliminated, but it is far too early to say that no users will ever experience QV aborts.

Ok, forget about questviewer for me would you?   We're supposed to be talking about the video!

Which I think is absolutely superb, I'm glad they decided to put the helicopter on.
And hopefully deploying small boats will also be available in Free Roam an MP.
Generally well done good job VSTEP

[Captain Spencer]

I completely agree Marty.

However we must get back on topic

[Sjoerd92]

I missed this.

And no splashes.
It dissapointed me

Further the game looks great! Cant wait to have it in my mailbox

[Kevinmcg_ships]

I have only ever had the questviewer issue when I didn't have the hardware to run the game. Once I upgraded my hardware, the problem went away.

It's your PC's hardware, not the game

Please tell us which hardware you have upgraded?

The hardware on my PC are well in excess of the SS2008 requirements

Cheers


EDIT - sorry, I missed the above posts about getting back on topic

[Mad_Fred]

I missed this.

Early game shots might show features that in later testing prove too 'heavy' for the average game machine, and may be tuned down to boost overall game performance.

[Matthew Brown]

The name of the factory ship seems to be quite interesting!

Kuroi Kujira not Nisshin Maru.

Which in English means "Black Whale" 

[Mad_Fred]

Ironic.. 

[Matthew Brown]

Ironic? 

[Mad_Fred]

Yes... ironic to give a ship that is used for whaling, a name like that.. I think.

[Kevinmcg_ships]

Ironic? 

Because it's a ship which hunt down and kill whales.

i thaught whailing is illegal and they used special pirate ships

[Matthew Brown]

Yeah I suppose so    I wonder why they would choose that and not something else.

[Mad_Fred]

i thaught whailing is illegal and they used special pirate ships

Nah, It's not illegal, they stick to allowed quota. Still considered too much to a lot of people, but they do have the law on their side, as right or wrong as that may be, I don't judge, cause I eat and use products that are not critical to my life needs too. As does everyone that screams about this issue...  

They do use specialised vessels though, but not pirate ships. The pirate ships are on the other side and fight AGAINST the whalers.

So this means we can still try enable it and see is it running good on our rig??

[Sjoerd92]

Hope so.
My pc can handle that easy.

[Mad_Fred]

Nope, that means that sometimes certain features are tuned down or even lost, to prevent the game from becoming a framehog, that only the people with really good pc's can handle.

This however, then becomes a new baseline, so you can't turn things back on that aren't in it anymore in a certain form, so to speak.

@ Sjoerd, you have no way of knowing that. Specs?

But I think adding an option would be much better, those splashes are extremely realistic, much better than those seen in the video.

[Captain Spencer]

Perhaps, but let's wait and see what the game brings

Hi Sjoerd92,

That PC you mentioned there 'should' run Ship Simulator Extremes without a problem. Nice fast machine you have there

[Mad_Fred]

That's pretty much identical to my machine, Sjoerd!!  



kanhf0514,

No it's probably not better, cause if something is changed, like this video suggests, then it's already been proven it won't work, or else it would still be in for the high-end pc's.

If it is not in, then logic dictates, it didnt work out..  at all.
They don't just test on low end machines alone. Everthing that changes, changes for a good reason.

I remember a lot of games and/or sims that I was waiting for, and followed during development via promo screens and videos. And many times I have seen that 'better/more realistic looking features' ended up differently in the full game. Usually because, as the 'game got filled with the rest', the initial design features didn't all remain feasible or achievable, because of it becoming to resource needy.

[gibby12]

do i meet the requirements for SSE??

i posted my DxDiag

Hi Gibby,

Your system may struggle because I beleive you have onboard video, albeit a very good chipset for onboard. You might find your processor may struggle a tiny bit, but I think overall you may be able to get a good balance between quality and speed, bearing in mind your hardware limitations.

You will find you won't be able to turn everything up, so you might find you have to sacrifice particular eye-candy in order to get a good framerate.

Hope that helps

Thx for replay 

Look at my signature and tell me will I run Extremes well?
PS: I play all games at high (Modern Warfare 2, Dirt 2 , SS2008...) so I hope this will not be a problem.

Cheers
