This offer only applies to PRE-ORDER Customers (meaning before August 27th) that have not yet received their boxed version due to delivery delay.

Kind regards,

I think I may have made a massive faux pas. 

I was about to email Vstep to ask for a download as my SSE still hasn't arrived, and when I went back to the Ship Sim website to retrieve my order number etc, I noticed that my hometown was missing from my address details. Strange how I didn't notice that before.

AAArgh! So no wonder why my boxed SSE still hasn't arrived as the TNT guy probably had no clue where to send it (although if he Googled my postcode, he would find out my home town very easily, plus it does have 'United Kingdom' on the address). But knowing TNT, where time is money, they'll probably send the parcel back to Vstep again marked as "Address Not Known" 

So it's a public apology from me to Vstep  (*red face*)

That is no mistake - you can get an adress from a Postcode and house number - the rest is superfluous

A GPS System should handle it fine

[Ballast]

I don't think that's the reason Kevin, a postcode, housenumber and country will do fine

So we can write the latitude and longitude on it as address next time?

Well what are them thingys drivers say gets them lost...?

I hope so, it's quite easy to find out which town you live in just by typing in your postcode on Google. I just hope the TNT or the Royal Mail delivery guy had the same brilliant idea.....

lol at latitude & longitude on address....

That's a very good point - so not all is lost!  (*fingers crossed*)

From a Iceland Home delivery driver free when you spend over £25 a postcode can be quite usefull as well as useless. I had to resort to postcodes earlier today as someones hand writing isn't the most legable - i could make out the house number but not the street name. I put the postcode into the nav, and it took me to her house.

The useless story - not sure where abouts this next customers house was. Put in the postcode - took me to where the postcode thought it was - not there, it was infact 3 miles over some fields, cross the train track and down a road or two

Was that when you ended up on the motorway?

[laganviking]

Not this time

Today i was back our 'war driving' in the new van. Thank goodness for the town plan street maps thats all i can say

...but as Captain Matt says "Cookie Box"

I should be OK because I have the full address - house number, street name, postcode - apart from the name of the town where I live.

It's times like that which makes me glad I do not work as a delivery guy for a living!  

[laganviking]

It is challenging thats all im saying

Im not sure what way your postcodes work over there, but over here in the 1700's postcodes can identify your town easily.

well, I checked my shipping address, and it's fine.  checked all information, and all is complete.  delivery day of 8/27 has come and passed.  sitting at 8/27 + 5 days now.  I've mailed VSTEP, and no response yet except the auto-generated one telling me that they got it.  This is the first time I've ordered anything directly from them.  Thinking maybe either there won't be a next time, or next time I'll have to order it through a third party that I trust.   

[Ferrymaster]

Still haven't received my boxed version, but I used the download version I've in my mail, Thanks Vstep!.

[sgoudie]

Well my game has arrived today

[Kevinmcg_ships]

Would you believe it, my game finally arrived today!  (but no manual booklet though, which is not a big problem since the manual is already on DVD)

And I am very, very happy with the result - the installation went really smoothly and the game runs like a dream. I ran fps while in free roam and it was 25-35 which is much better than what I thought it would be.

Maybe I am very pleasantly happy because my high exceptations have been set lower after reading so much issues.

I am now going to download patch v1.1

[Captain Cadet]

how long will it take them to send me the download verson

[02ian]

no sign of mine yet... although i still have hope for today as the postman doesn't seem to have come yet,

contacted vstep about getting a download last night... no response in the 19 hours since then,

i'm having to console myself with a few scale models, alas my blue carpet lacks the sea effects we've seen in the trailers "ice-berg-sock ahead!"

[Kevinmcg_ships]

patch v1.1 works fine, and also installed the bonus Fishing Vessel SIGITA. I think she was worth paying extra!

Also ran her in free roam, fps was 38-39!   

[Capt Phil]

it's been 25 hours since I've sent my e-mail about getting my Download version.. No reply, and still yet to recieve my hard copy.. I hope this game is worth all my stress over getting it
