Me, but only once or twice a month for maybe one hour. For me the scenario is boring. I only bought it because Naval Sims are rare.

Currently I don't have time to play any games. It might change after Easter, cause I would like to sink what's left of the IJN.

I still run the game occasionally - I campaign for a while, get annoyed about the weather and stop again for a few days.
Its not off my hard drive yet...

I play it for a while, then stop for a while and play something else. Right now I'm in the something else stage (Oblivion). I still check in to the forum to see if there are any updates. Looks like they are concentrating on DG2.

I won't have time for much gaming next month, have to upgrade my certifications for work. :(

Yea, they are working on DG2 Full time and that is good!
I can hardly wait till it is out as I think it will add a whole lot to this game.

I am waiting for version 1.050 to be released, because the current version 1.049 introduced errors regarding the ship information screen, namely the deletion of command/targeting and navigation/course information.

On 27th Feb Norm replied to the thread 'new version 1.049' by saying that 1.050 would rectify these omissions and would be released shortly.

As of today a month has elapsed and no update.
I would get back into the campaign if this were fixed.

It should not be long till a update is out. I'll try to post as soon as it is up for download. That is if Norm does not post first. As he does most of the time!

Hi this is a copy of an e-mail I recieved from SES on Friday :-

Hello,



We have corrected the logic error that lead to the problem you reported. It had to do with ships assigned area patrol orders escaping battle by entering a naval base. The fix will be in the next (1050) update, hopefully this weekend. Thanks for letting us know about this problem.



Regards,



Storm Eagle Studios Support

Look forward to it comoing out and hope it does sort many of the probs.

Still play a created mission once in a while, but haven't spent a great deal of time with it recently. Recently got my Silent Hunter 1 dos disc working on XP, so been having fun with that.

Still playing on occasion. Mainly scenarios I haven't tried so far.

Hi

Yes, still playing short scenarios, but not enough time to get into another campaign these days.

Oblivion distracted me for ages and now the Shivering Isles expansion is out which I have somehow managed to install but not touch for over a week now due to amazing self control and a wife who likes constant attention :nuts: ;)

I still love Distant Guns for its uniqueness and attention to historical accuracy.

Anticipation is high for the (hopefully WWI) successor.

Yes, still playing. Happy to see 1.050. Had some problems at a critical campaignpoint with the escape into the friendly base bug. Also happy to see the return of full ship infomation screen.

The 1.050 update was released to the public several days ago. Has your installation not updated? Check the "About" box in the game to make sure.

I haven't played in about two months. Right now there are a few high quality wargames recently released which grabbed my attention. I will definitely play DG again however as it is absolutely a high quality piece of programming.

I took a break from DG, but now I'm playing it again. It's still a great game, though I hope the ridiculous torpedo range bug will be fixed ASAP. :)

I am back to Distant Guns after..well..several months. Though there are still some annoying bugs present in game (CTD), I still play this amazing game.
