However, if you go longer than 7 days without an internet connection, it will stop working. BUT ONLY until such time as you regain an internet connection. The game still keeps trying to phone home every time you run it. Once you regain contact, the game will start working again just fine, although you'll have to re-enter your license number.
Unfortunately I currently don't have an internet connection at all. But I'm enjoying it so far - ten minutes at a time.

Thanks for the pic. That's definitely a new one for me. I take it you drew both the black and the white ovals? You'd best send this pic in along with a log and descrition of the problem to our bug server.

Question: would that flag happen to be at a waypoint for the ship's course? I've noticed a minor bug myself lately where sometimes you see little gray crosshair icons at waypoints. I'm guessing maybe your getting the flag texture for some reason instead of the crosshair (which you shouldn't be seeing anyway).

Anyway, sorry for the inconvenience.
It wasnt a way point, it follows my cursor all around the surface.

I'll send a picture and log/info ASAP.

Wow, that's definitely something I've never seen before.

Do you have the regular mouse cursor arrow, or just the flag? The cursor doesn't show up in screenshots so I can't tell from looking at your pic.

If you have the cursor, then I assume the flag is taking the place of the yellow dot on the water under the cursor. Do you have the yellow dot?

Hi,

how can I get sighting reports from patrolling zeppelins or submarines in the campaign modus? Are these only represented by the flag icons of enemy units on the map (f3)?

Are there any circles on the 2D- map representing various gun ranges, similar to GNBNA?

Thanks again
HS

Yup, when you see enemy flags on the campaign map, it's because one of your units spotted it. Then you can mouse over the enemy flag to find out what it is. There's no message popping up to tell you about it.

Yes. These show up on the minimap during tactical battles. They're pretty faint, though, so are best viewed with the map expanded to full size (hit M to cycle this). When you get the map full-size, put the mouse over it to make it opaque, and you should see the circles pretty well.

Note, however, that these circles are only shown at their correct scale when the map is at zoom level 1 (hit the 1 key, not numpad 1). If you're zoomed in, the circles are still there but they're shrunk so no longer give you an accurate idea of if you're in range.

Nope. Only my plain old desktop. Lost my internet a few months ago. Lost my new job before I could get it back. I'm only a couple steps away from losing my place again.

But there will be better times.

I downloaded demo to try it. Launched it and everything was ok. I've tried 2 scenarios (Duel and one other) and it was a really great) But then I tried to launch some other ones and game crashed the very moment I clicked at the name of the scenario at the menu. The same stuff happenned with most of the scenarios
Can you help me to resolve that problem?

Tried the demo real quick, just the duel this morning and sunk the enemy bb. Pretty nice thus far.

But, I do have a question and sorry to say its over this DRM thing:

Why did you not choose Steam? It seems to offer the same advantages that your software does and more.

Just curious .

I'll probably get the game anyway, but was wondering...

Hmmm. It might be that the other scenarios are too big for your computer, but that's just a guess because I have no idea what hardware you've got.

The best thing to do would be, immediately after the game crashes, to look in the main Jutland folder for "game_log.txt" and "diagnostic_log.txt". Then send these in to the bug report server. You can find the a shortcut to the server in the Start\All Programs\Storm Eagle Studios\Jutland folder.

Not my department so I don't know. I must say, however, that Steam has its detractors, too.

Yeah it does but many games are available through Steam and other sources. They also will give it huge exposure. It may not be your department, but you are closer to that department then we are so maybe you can mention it.
