Whats the first thing you will do if you get SH5?

[Undefined]

Well, just imagine that you just got SH5 and it's ready to install. You open the box and put your own sh5 DVD into the drive. You press next couple of times and then installing starts. Then you will klick the awesome looking shortcut on your desktop and the game begins. What will you do?

[FIREWALL]

Probably watch it CTD because I installed it wrong because I was so excited. :rotfl2:

[Col. Caldwell]

Make sure Bernard is off my boat. :p

[Rothwell white]

Pick which Flotilla to sail with

[stabiz]

If?:)

The first thing I will do is crank up graphics settings to see how it runs, do my usual realism settings, and go off on patrol. I will try to stay away from the museum.

[Lord Justice]

Sir Flegmatica, Although you stated (first thing), i believe it would be rustic and inappropriate of me to be so blunt. If i may? here is my first four. 1, Set all Options etc 2, Type full name 3, Carefull consideration toward my crew selection and placement if needed, 4, play the sim, thank you. :salute:

If your going to do that please take it down with a crash dive at first, then maximum speed and greatest down angle, may as well do the job properly!!:haha:
Then report findings on Subsim!!:yep:

TwistedFemur: Well, I did it.

Reece: So what happened?

TW: I dived. I died.

R: How? At what depth? What happened on the screen? Did it show your crew drowning? Was there just a simple 'Death Screen'? Did you see a report of your demise? WHAT HAPPENED?

Nah do it slowly. so I can walk around and see the fear in the crews eyes as the valves start bursting and the rivets are popping

[Undefined]

Okay. I've tought of it and this is probably what i will do:

Since i pre order i will open my mailbox and get the envelope. I will cut it from the top carefully and take the game out. I expect that the jewel case is wrapped around with plastic wrap i will remove it carefully. After doing that i will smell the jewel case and then open it. Then i will press the open button on my CD/DVD drive and take the game out from jewel case. Then i will smell the DVD just in case. Then i will place it in the drive and press the close button. Then the autorun will start and i feel excitement. Then i will press Install and next couple of times without reading the stuff. Then i will go to kitchen and take a beer out of fridge. I will open the beer and take a zip. When install is finished i will klick the awesome looking shortcut on the desktop and i feel really excited. Then the ubi logo comes up and it seems so awesome, then the intro will begin. I will watch it at the same time being amazed. When the main menu comes up i will mess around with options so they are all set on MAX. Then i will go to naval academy (if there is one) and take some training lessons. The loading probably seems so awesome too. When the game starts i will probably get orgasm.

Insert the DVD. Let the game install. Find out what settings your rig can run it at. Enjoy the game and wait for patch 1.

I'm planning on taking vacation time on release day and the next few days afterwards. I never take it and have a ton banked up. Might as well use it on SH5!

I've already given fair warning to my girlfriend, and she smiled and understood. She also sat through the 5 hour long version of Das Boot with me. I think she's a keeper. :03:

Heh. My wife understands that I'll be spending a few days in my Man Cave after SH5 is released. She watched Das Boot with me using the German audio. We did take advantage of the English subtitles, though. She already saw the SH5 demo video and said "Wow... that's beautiful." She may have been talking about the scenery, but...

No vacation time for me, though. I'll be using what's left of that on our cruise in the Caribbean in February. Probably end up locked up for cursing the Captain out for his pathetic crash dive times...

[Arclight]

Man Cave :haha::har:

Heh. My wife understands that I'll be spending a few days in my Man Cave after SH5 is released. She watched Das Boot with me using the German audio.
My better half is of the same breed, i think. We watched "Das Boot" together and she really liked the movie. We did not use the english subtitles, though.
It's not that they are not good or that they distract you from the movie experience, it's just that we are german. :DL

She fully understands my gaming hobby and likes "The Simpsons", "Family Guy", "Star Wars", "Band of Brothers" and "Das Boot."

What should i say, the Wedding is on Saturday. :D

@Topic:

I will install the game and while it does so, i'll download the Release Patch which adds features that did not make it into the release Version of the Game, e.g.


Weather Model
Water Model
U-Boat Interiors
Weather Effects
Water Effects
Buoyancy Model
Explosion Effects
Enemy Ships
Dynamic Campaign
U-Boats


After applying the patch, i'll doubleclick the SH5 Icon, Start a Training Mission and Crash to Desktop. After that, i'll update every possible driver for my system.
After i am done with that, i'll probably downgrade every possible driver again, because on the Forums they say, that it runs well with older drivers.

Then i'll update all drivers again and keep torturing myself with the CTDs while waiting for the second patch.

Nothing from the age of sail? Strange for a man with the Lucky Jack moniker.

[Falkirion]

Wonder when we'll get mods for it making it even better to play and sail with.

And pray for the GWX team to come out of retirement and work their magic with the sim and make it even better.

[JackAubrey]

Nothing from the age of sail? Strange for a man with the Lucky Jack moniker.
I could not possibly list everything. ;)
But you have a point there. To clear this up:
"Master and Commander" does not reside on the DVD shelf. I always take the Box to bed with me. :D
Me and my Wife both love this movie also.

All of O’Brians "Aubrey and Maturin" Books are neatly arranged right beside the "Hornblower" Books by C.S. Forester. As some kind of ritual, we watch "Master and Commander" and "Captain Horatio Hornblower R.N." both on 1st of January.
I read the complete "Aubrey and Maturin" and "Hornblower" Tales once a year.

What we not do is playing Whist. :)

[Able72]

First, I'll start by spending a weekend or longer playing it. (depending on when it is released and whats going on in real life at the time) Then I'll begin spending the next week trying to figure out how to mod it so that we can enable historically accurate flags and other markings.

[Task Force]

I KNOW WHAT IL DO!!!

Get... sunk... err... thats what ill do...:rotfl2:

Place bird in large pot, half fill with water and add a tablespoon of salt, bring to the boil and add an old leather boot, cook for a few hours, strain out all the contents into another bowl and throw over the side, except the boot, this you serve with parsley and a sprinkle of pepper to taste.:yeah:

Ramp up all the video settings to max and the resolution to 1680x1050. Then see if my PC can handle it without slowing down.

Ouch!
