@catguy43 You're describing a common problem. It's usually an indication that your PC doesn't meet the minimum requirements. I'd suggest checking the specification that you need, and compare it with your PC spec.
Upgrading some of your hardware may be your only option. Hope that helps :-)
Hi, sorry for the delay. I will start making videos soon but i will have to wait because the video card has not been installed into my computer yet. Thanks.;-)
Whenever i try to load my created mission i have an error. do you think i could apply ice bergs in free roam and what option to i need to use. Thanks for the help. Sorry to bother you again.
The best advice I can offer, is to visit the official forum for Technical Support. They can advise you better, as it may be a system issue that needs addressing ;-)
I am currently waiting for a new video card for the one i have is not good enough and i can only play the sim in low graphics but once i get the new video card i can play the game in high graphics. Thanks for the help. :-)
I'm not certain exactly what you mean by 'get' icebergs, but if you're trying to find them in the game, there are a few missions with icebergs in them.
The other way to see them, is to create your own mission, using the Mission Editor, and add your own icebergs to it ;-)
That wave height is the standard setting (with graphics set on maximum), but you have to bear in mind that this video was created with version 1.0 of the game.
The wave dynamics were altered slightly in later versions, and a new routine was implemented for them too ;-)
The song is called "Requiem for a Dream (Remix)" by 'Clint Mansell :-)
I appreciate all comments on my movies, good or bad. I am curious about something though......
When you clicked on my video, what exactly did you expect to see? This movie was created 9 days after the release of the game, and I wanted to show some of the 'official forum' members (who didn't have the game) some of the game content.
It would be a little pointless to create a "Ship Simulator" movie with trains, cars, or other irrelevant content, don't you think ;-)
Actually, that doesnt work so well. And can actually fry out the memory slots on your Motherboard. RAM 1 GB sticks run at about 20 bucks. Lot less than a new motherboard.
Graphic Card = Uses pixles on detail of the game higher the card the more quality of the game. RAM = Game performace bigger the RAM on your computer more smoother the game is really smooth if you have 4x 1gb RAM sticks stored in your comp. Am i right? correct me if im not.
the problem is i cant see the sea or well..water at all, i just get some white grid...i tried also to put the "quality" in graphics from maximum and minimum in both the Catalyst ATI, and the game itself..idk what to do... :S
Sweet. I really want to get the game, on my laptop. Mabye this comeing saterday. You dont have to worry about me worrying that you dont have a life, since its a simulator it helps if you want to become a real boater. But I get motion sick lol even when im playing fsx and ship
This is like boring in a box!!!! The video is good, but the game is crap!!! You sail out of harbour and then it is like the end of the world for you, then a list hopes up asking you where do you want to sail to now? Funny, don't remember this happening last time i was on a ship, It could have being great, but it just fails down on this alone, it is too limited, the car ferry would have being fun to load that..no..the cargo container you can load and that it yawn!!! Flight simulator X is better!!
The demo is basically a short and limited version of the full version. If your pc can't play the demo lag free, it probably won't play the full version, it's the same thing.
DJM Could You Please Anyone One Of My Newer Videos just to see if my opening sequence is ok cos i understand you are a Global Moderator on SS Forums.
Its the Lihgthouse Interactive Video But With The Light House Interactive Logo Edited Out And Writing (advertising My YOUTUBE) i just wanted to see if it was ok cos i understand you have Matrix and it took me a long time to add my one. I AM ADDING IT TO THIS VID AS I THOUGHT IT WAS RELEVENT
That really depends on what you're looking for in a game. Some games appeal to a lot of people, some don't.......it's the same with every game on the market ;-)

Jer942 2 years ago
Indeed it is, my friend. As with most trial versions, there are limitations in the software.
One of those limitations, is the amount of time that you can capture footage. The full version is better, and well worth the money it costs ;-)
