Why I can't come in Oceana interior? Near stars is invisible wall..

Are you talking about the staircase thats just behind the the bridge. If so I think the staircase was there at one point probably during beta testing then was removed due to compatibility issues with the game.

Seems that Steam/Valve has the time to patch other games but they cannot fix a tiny issue with the exe version being wrong for 1.5.5 for users who have SSE on Steam. I don't understand why the exe build issue would come up.

Has anyone tried reinstalling SSE for the Steam version to see if it corrects itself for the newest build exe-- 1100 1.5.5?

Thanks, and next problem with Oceana - sounds in bridge. Why motor sounds in bridge is very loud? I think motors sounds absolutely should not be heard..

That may be her bow thruster sounds you're hearing from the bridge. I think the engine sounds are hearable at the Atrium area to the stern. I agree they should be a lot quieter than they are. But I think that would require the indoor sounds to be lowered.

The Jumbo Javelin still doesn't have a staircase or the teleport function that it had in 2008. Once i'm on the deck of the ship there's no way to get back to the bridge.

How do you even get on the deck of the Jumbo Javelin in the first place?

Hello all,

It a nice update also now whit the lights tugboat is now also able to swits to dificult in manoeuvering and a normal tow will show 3 white lights in in the mast. Also pilot have other lights when you don't have a pilot you can put the normals lights on. Its searching for the lights but it is but under the standard buttons of the list of lights.

But it is a good step forward.

The only people who have version 1.5.5 are those who do not have the Steam version.

Steam screwed up on the patch and did not change the build version number.
Some friends say they didn't even get the patch and they have auto update on and still nothing at all.

I find it very disappointing that Steam has time to patch other games but not SSE?

Traddles · « **Reply #61 on:** September 09, 2013, 17:31:33 »

I think you will find that Steam HAVE updated the patch but NOT the build number. This they did previously, and really does it matter all that much, as long as you have the patch?

I can report that the multiplayer servers are now working correctly, at least on the Vstep version of the game.

I had a couple friends try and connect to my server that im hosting and they have the steam version and I have the shipsim.com version and it says they have the wrong build number and cannot connect.

Jake_Savage · « **Reply #64 on:** September 14, 2013, 11:55:28 »

I checked yesterday and in my steam version online my multiplayer still didnt work.

ACR · « **Reply #65 on:** September 17, 2013, 20:25:56 »

maybe not a new simulator but the light update is good and the improvement in ship dynamics visible.

so i clap my hands for the people who fought that even any resources at all were spend on sse.

best regards .

francesco · « **Reply #66 on:** September 18, 2013, 16:27:44 »

On which ships you found dynamics changes? What kind? I am asking because i was curious about those, but didn't have much time to check in game.

Torslunde · « **Reply #67 on:** September 19, 2013, 17:46:40 »

Apollo IV is faster which is more realistic, and Vermaas is not oversteering so wild.
Am sure there is a lot of improvements to the other vessels too

Has the Albatros now got CP propellers?
Can't seem to see any difference in my Steam version...

GeoP17 · « **Reply #69 on:** September 28, 2013, 08:51:43 »

I think it doesn't...Albatross is an old ship and if she it was real it wouldn't have CP propellers system...

LucAtC · « **Reply #70 on:** September 29, 2013, 11:46:46 »

Hello Apejens, GeoP17,

The patch 1.5.5 changed the propellers to controllable pitch, in accordance of your references (http://80.95.161.114/shipsim/forum/index.php/topic,29071.msg385501.html#msg385501).
I don't know how Steam updates work, but the stock InlandDLC reverts the patch 1.5.5 to 1.5.0, so that 1.5.5 should be re-installed after having installed the InlandDLC. This mistake is probably due to the (wrong) choice of an initial DLC version previous to 1.5.5. Unfortunately, it also lost last minute changes intended to use the now player barges in multiplayer, as well as the Roeier workboat wild behaviour at full rudder/RPM.

The workaround for the version downloaded from the Vstep site has been tested successfully thanks to some Dutch players, but we don't know if it can be used for the Steam versions.

Could you please test this:
After having installed the DLC, having restored patch 1.5.5., the contents of the attached zip should be placed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Vstep", and Albatross IV should have inwards CPP now, which as you know can be checked by her less favourable turning, just one side ahead without rudder.

If the results are positive, the workaround should make its way through the download both at Vstep and Steam...

Regards,
Luc
