but when you know about it you can deal with it, its only annoying if you dont know what will happen. you can not end up between hexes, so you get sucked into one of them when you leave battle. Yes the slight warping of fleets when you go from the 3d space to the 2d board game can be annoying, but it has to be it seems. the campaign is where it all comes together, at least it did for me. i spend a lot of time with the german campaign in jutland(i dont have DG1.5), or several of them. I can not add anything meaningfull here other than to say these games are great. I fully agree: I would not recommend to jump at it as a new customer.īut I do feel, it is worth trying to revive it. I still think it is the best of it’s kind (which is a small number), but certainly not perfect. Though the UI is „difficult“, as stated earlier. I never tried the strategic game, but battles were quite ok. I think I seem to remember they were hit bad from some hurricane or something over there in US and seemed as though never recovered.įor anyone looking into the game I would just suggest avoiding like the plague now to be honest. And I do not think I am too far off the mark in stating that the company are dead (other than continuing to take your money on purchases). But there are some game crippling bugs such as British fleets getting sucked closer to the German ports as you switch between the map/battle instances and etc. I used to play it as I am very much into the naval stuff. I've skipped through the thread so not read everything. I was 5 secs away from giving up and deleting everything and never take a look again at these gem games. I´ve noticed it in the task manager and after killing it, everything booted up. If this is the same issue for you, I will inform the Stormpowered guys that they should remove it or at least add a instruction disclaimer because not every consumer can figure such stuff out. Just backup/delete it from all folders and the update or game start just runs fine, it is possible that after the small automatic update another splash.exe is created, also remove it from all folders, you don´t need it to run the game. This is supposed to be a small intro but sometimes stopps Stormpowered and also the games from working. On thing that always created issues for me is the splash.exe in the stormpowered install folder and in Jutland/Distant Guns install folder. Yes I run it in Windows 10 newest update only with admin mode. I tried to install in the XP compatibility mode, but that did not help much.ĭo you know how to get it running under Win10? When I try to install, it starts with V 1.1.6.2 or so and tries to update, but stops and crashes after a few seconds. Ok, password retrieved and game downloaded. One does not see lines of battle cruisers too often. I remember indeed some sessions, where I just let it run and enjoyed the scenery. As far as I understand this is/was a very small studio with limited options so I am pretty happy that they atleast got a solid graphics engine which still looks good to me despite its age. There are some static crew to spot and I could imagine that during combat operations bigger ships may have less crew outside because it could become a real hazard to their life but nevertheless "real" crew with animations like seen in SH5 would be super awesome and raise this to "rated M for ship porn" level. Yeah I love the hundred detailed ship models they´ve put in. The battle UI thankfully works quite well but the dynamic campaign UI is really "expert level" in figuring stuff out and required alot of trial and error. The UI definitely has issues and requires some work, figuring, and hotkey memorization until you´re able to issue orders with confidence and convenience. When you remember which email you used for purchase you should be able to recover your account. This dull, low tone, swirling “Woooooshhhhh” However, I loved the sound of large shells passing overhead. And in explosions, one saw the bricks flying. Only when you zoomed in too close, it looked, hm, dull and dead. Great game, though I never really came into it. I once owned Jutland (and unfortunately lost it due to a computer change).
