In future patches or add ons of the game would you want the creators of the game to create more life like bow spray? Such of the ones they showed in the renders of the game instead of ones like they are in SS08. It's just a question because how realistic the game is with the waves coming off the ships bow makes me think that the bow spray should be more realistic. Do you agree?

I'm sure that any small things will be fixed or changed in the upcoming patch, available for download on the Ship Sim website soon

Hi shamuboy,

The early wakes/spray as can be seen in the promo material have been tuned down for performance.

During testing they proved to be too much, and that would have ruined it for many people who do not have really good computers. (and I mean top-end)

So, don't count on such a performance drain being re-introduced anytime soon. Afraid it won't be high priority.

Fred.

Would be nice to see anti-aliasing in the game options menu, in SS2008 you need to force it on the gfx card options. The game looks alot better with 8xAA.

I think that there will be a patch for SSE on the website some time after the release. After the release of SSE, some bugs will be discovered and fixed.

Yes hopefully

.....Yes definitely. I much preferred the look of what we "were" getting. Besides I didn't just purchase A new Â£4k Alienware PC for them to downgrade it. I would like to suggest a patch be made available to put everything back up to maximum effect for those of us who do have high end PC's. Oh well, we can only wait and see. Happy Sailing

Hi Dday,

Unfortunately not everyone has 4K to spend on a machine such as yours, I know I don't

Things were developed the way they were to allow everyone to play it, not just those with high sec machines

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #8 on:** August 27, 2010, 17:25:35 »

Note,

Even with your alienware pc, it might not have worked.

Early features are made and tested in a much more 'empty' game.

And as testing progresses and lots of features are added, even the best pc's that the testers used prove that certain things just won't go in the end. They just end up being too resource heavy, even for the best pc's.

And thus, need to be changed or tuned down. It's inevitable. And I've seen it with other games I've been part of somehow, aswell.

The maximum effect you get out of tweaking your graph card settings, with the game on full quality, is the best you're going to get, I am afraid.

Fred.

Hi Captain Spencer

I appreciate that fact. All I'm saying is they could at least give us the option of patching it up to it's intended original state. It could of course been adjusted within the games graphic settings. My spec is admittedly an overkill for shipsim no matter how extreme it is, I'm just future proofing myself and intend this one to be here for another six years like my previous PC was/is, they get passed down to family members until they finally get thrown out the door. (The old PC that is, not the family memeber)...LOL

I'm going to enjoy it either way.....at least I would if the post was a little quicker

Thanks for that Fred understood loud and clear (that's a first mind you)...lol

tech moves that fast these days that its impossible to future-proof (how i long for the days of the BBC computer)
and although i to would like the 3d wakes and such back, i'll play it with or without!

Captain Spencer · « **Reply #11 on:** August 27, 2010, 17:59:53 »

Well even with a patch the game would have still been unplayable for those with a system as high spec as yours, as Fred said.

Anyway, we must all enjoy the game, and you surely will with a system like that!

danny · « **Reply #12 on:** August 27, 2010, 18:02:52 »

thats very true cpatin spencer,
just out of question, what computers do vstep use?

Captain Spencer · « **Reply #13 on:** August 27, 2010, 18:04:21 »

Hi Danny,

Ones that cost many thousands of pounds/dollers/euros I would imagine!

Perhaps you could ask them yourself!

dday · « **Reply #14 on:** August 27, 2010, 18:20:05 »

....just an idea and the perfect solution

. How about we just move our PC's in front of a large clear glass window and get somebody to stand outside, everytime we hit a wave they turn the garden hose on. P:S make sure the window is closed though

and for that authentic fishing boat atmosphere a plate of kippers ontop of the warm PC. happy Sailing !!

Hehe that's a good idea. Don't forget to order your salt packs though

Ummm....no not likely I may like "super computers" but she [the blonde girl] isn't going to take my mind of of things...

let's just say I wonder if she has a brother and preferably in uniform...wink wink

...LOL ....but that's a whole different post
