Easy Sinking and Strange behaviour....
« on: August 28, 2010, 21:14:09 »

Yesturday downloaded my SSE copy!  :2thumbs:

No problem whit this, neither the install!
Also gave it an hour´s play to check out the game...

The Graphics and general look of it are suprisingly good on my i5 Core 2,4Ghz, ATI HD5850, Laptop!

Started by taking the "Fairmount Shepard" for a free roam around Dover....
Working its way verry well in the H-K waives...  :captain: :captain:
When taking my way into dover Port, and moring in the ferry Harbour, things though turned bad!
With engine in reverse, @ 1knt the ship slihgtly hit the key side devits, same wistheled and grind,
and, whhhhaaat? She sank on the spot!  :doh: ??? ??? ???

Well, well, i thoght that was strange, but lets try some thing else....  :-\

Moving for a Campaigne mission!

Chose Nr 11 "North Atlantic Crossing" with the "Agile Solution"
Starting by unmoring, instantly the aft of the ship slided out from the berth.
maybe not that realistik...  :thumbdown:
With help of the truster, make my way out, put the throttle in full, and steam for open seas in acc to mission. Then bang, without warning, the mission automatically moves to the Pilot Boat.   ??? Ok, new feature, no warning message abt moving to another ship.
Stear the Pilot Boat out of the Manhattan Berth, and give it full sped >30Knts... After 5min steaming, i reach the Agile Solution, where i´m suppose to pick up the Pilot before she steams for the Atlantic.
I Approach the Vsl, pull the throttle to neutral, slowing down, and finally reach 0 knots.... The mission aknowlidge that pilot have been collected succesfully. Then the game automatically swich back to stearing of Agile Solution... :blush:

What the hell, The pilot poat are in full spead, with its front to my midship... Full sped, and my ship at 0knots is rappidly, in good tempo, moving sideways. Hello??? Cant do nothing. It keeps slamming my side, and after some 45`jumps, the pilot boat finally eats its way along side me, and are now away.... Looking at it, its steams att full speed directly with headyng for the shore side...  ??? ???. Well, well, that looked strange i thought and pulled throttle to full..... Nothings happening!... , im sinking! Im going around, dammm, im on the bottom!  The pilot boat (Out of my controll, sank me)  ??? ???  :evil:

2 tests, 2 sinkings.... Ehhh Something wrong with the game???

(Consider my self as a experienced SS user, and real life experienced sailor)

Maybe some fine tuning needed??

Now this is weird because in some of the greenpeace missions i have accidentally collided with the unexpected turning of whaling vessels and i hardly have any damage on me!

i have accidentally collided
  :doh: ::)

So does that mean you cant sink whaling vessels?
(Not that I would anyway!  ::))
Maybe something to do with the legalities I suppose  ???

To the topic starter: Try to take that mission with the Orient Star where you have to moor at night in Southampton.. It sank when I was still about 10 meters/30 feet away from the mooring place lol

Colliding with the quay or jetty indeed makes damage way too quickly. We are working on a solution. Also, starting some missions where the mooring lines pull the vessel against the quay or jetty leads to damage. In some cases, doing a restart helps. Improvements on this will be part of a patch, probably by the end of this week.

i agree, the damage system is far too sensative, i was trying a dover-calais with the POR, and due to the delay there is for a response from the throttle and the thrusters I hit the Fenders at dover and i sunk. Then i tried the crossing, took me an hour and 5 mins with the POR and then i got to calais, touched the queyside slightly and the ship sunk!

Thanks pjotr.

I have already downloaded v1.1 patch yesterday, and I have saved it on my PC waiting to be applied when the postman deliver my boxed SSE.

My question is, should I apply v1.1 patch immediately when I installed SSE, or wait for the new patch when it comes out by the end of this week?

Ta very much

I think that you should apply the v1.1-patch immediatly after installing. I don't know if the next patches ara cumulative, or that in you need to apply all these paches seperately. If there are many bugs and annoyances in SSE 2010, Vstep should release a servicepack which fixes all the bugs. Just like what MicroSoft does.

Thanks MokMok.

It's just as well my boxed SSE hasn't arrived yet - I would have spent all week cursing at my PC and pull off my hair in frustration! lol

Hi Risbis30,

As Pjotr posted above; they're working on a solution for that particular problem...Its a pain, I know, but again we'll just have to sit it out unfortunately.

As far as I know, Free roaming doesn't have any mooring bollards :)

Yes you can. BUT, from what I read in another topic, if you enlarge the map to insert your waypoints, then minimize it, they'll dissapear (it seems).

But don't quote me on that...since I myself haven't really tried all of that...except for the Autopilot function.

Maybe someone else can shed some light on this? Just to make sure i'm not telling any porkies? :blush: :lol:

Jack.

Yes, the waypoints are now used only for the autopilot. We can keep them on the chart when you minimize it so they are still there when you maximize it (for the next patch).

maybe then in the next patch can the damage system be toned down a bit so its like as it was in SS08?

Prehaps when sailing between Dover & Calias the autopilot would be useful as it means the  :captain: could go and make a cuppa while doing the crossing.
