I had the famous scene of the sea. Having brought it from Amazon I was unaware that it required STEAM. Not wanting to go down this route I decided to return the item.
I have since noticed that activation code registered in STEAM was different to the activation code printed on the enclosed paper manual. If I had noticed this before I would typed this code in game and it may have worked.
If it works for someone I am glad it has helped. I on the other hand am trying the direct download from ShipSim.com.
