Exactly, just because console developers can't patch up bugs in the game after release does not mean they release games without bugs. In fact it's worse, they release games, knowing there are bugs and knowing that nothing can be done about them unless you happen to be one of the people that buys later versions of the game.

little help please

. i installed SS08 today and it does work but the sea is plain black and the land is just white. probably need to get a new graphics card. i have an NVIDIA GeForce4 MX card at the moment and it runs MSFS 2004 great but not SS08. so could someone recommend a decent graphics card to fix the problem please?
thanks

Hi,

The minimum graphics card is the geforce5900. I got the pc updated to the 7600 and it works great.

Have you registered your ss08 liscence key in your profile? Then you will have access tech support.

Hope this helps!

Don't release a product if its not ready for the market you will only damage your public view and it will hurt your pocket. I wonder how long it will be till you get your first slamming by the media.

Maybe,
But most people seem generally happy and have faith that it will be remedied. It's the companies that release software and DON'T remedy bugs that cause the problems.

It is true that there are some irritating glitches, but on the whole does it not appear to be nearly there? It is always problematic releasing new software and this is pushing the boundary quite hard.

I'm certainly happy with it, the patches and new features will make it even better.

1. Almost all Games on new consoles get patchs!

2. Was it not the same way with ShipSim 2006? First almost nothing with a lot of bugs and after a few month less bugs and more content?

Lol, the Wii was a shared birthday AND Christmas present (no B/Day present for me this year

) The PS3 I had to buy myself, after my bank tried to assassinate me.

I was happy to here that almost inmediatly a patch was announced for the problems. PLUS extra content. Don't know if anyone here plays Test drive unlimited. Well I DID.The game had so many bugs etc. etc. After a few motnhs they decided to annonce a patch. It should come out by the end of may I believe. It was released this monday and when I installed the patch I got 2 cars for free, also I got 10000000000 of bugs for free.

SO everybody here be pleased to here that they are inmediatly started working on the bugs. If you don't want to play this buggy game, nobody has a gun to youre head. Put the game on hold for a month or 2, download the patch and start playing then

The thing to remember here is that any bugs we report they at least show some effort in trying to fix them there are alot of companys out there that don't and look at FSX that was so demanding that most computers could not run it so they had to do a major patch for that and flight sim has been about for 20years ship sim is still a baby compeared to that so things can only get better

jf3000 · « **Reply #95 on:** July 22, 2007, 03:13:09 »

You know why such implements weren't added to the game and were listed as upcoming features dont you? Being a programmer I can tell you now that most programmers already have a main application that already does everything in the up coming features, or have it already planned out and ready to add to the game.

Funny thing here is everyone whinges about bugs here and there, and yet the developers know you will stick around and buy there software, because you keep raving about it.

Then when a patch comes out, it will fix most of the issues, but other issues will be caused by the patch which always causes other issues, its life, it happens.

If the original poster complains so much about it being a waste of time, why are you still posting and complaining, obviously there is something about the game that wasn't a waste of money otherwise you wouldn't still be here.

A patch will come soon enough, then there will be more whinges.

Same with my xbox360, half the time when I get new games it pops up and says "Updates Avaliable"

And just wait untill a patch comes out. It will be better then. You can never have a bug-free game, computers just don't work that way yet.

I'm still here, despite having uninstalled the game because I am interested in how others are getting on.

Hope that's okay.

This game wasn't a waste of money. I got SS06 back in January and bought SS08 3 days ago. This is only there second ship simulator so I expected bugs, but with the people on the forums reporting and talking about them, on august 17th when the first patch comes out, most of the bugs you found will be gone.

I can live untill August. And it is fun playing with bugs and trying to find them all.

Oh and for this
