I have still to receive my boxed version, so I cannot speak from experience. But I do speak from many years as a Software Quality Assurance engineer,
From what I am reading in these forums about all the multiple problems people are having, it does beg the question - Was any serious Beta Testing done on Ship Simulator Extreme, before it was allowed to be shipped.
I was really looking forward to getting this, as I have enjoyed SS 2008 for many years.
However, now I am not so sure, there seems to be precious few reports that have anything good to say about this new version. I think I will keep it boxed, in preparation of sending it back for a refund, if the situation does not seriously improve.
Too many people are complaining for it just to be coincidence.
So, I ask again - Was this new version given serious Beta Testing before being passed as fit for purpose
