Volvo Ocean Race Game - Beta

I'm not sure how much I'm going to throw myself into the VORG Beta Race starting tomorrow. For one thing, a decent start will require setting Mr. Alarm for 0300hrs, and I have been enjoying a good night's sleep of late. 

For another thing, I don't have a clue as to whether the software will be a step forward in terms of intuitive feel of sailing. But I think there might be issues be worth discussing... Maybe. Maybe not.

  1. Game doesn't report boat speed. Auto helm not reliable.

  2. I logged on at race start in work today and my computer there is routed through Antwerp... no friends, no boat speed, no polars. Accept changes Yes? No? not working either. Gained a couple hundred places though :)

    More Beta needed!!

    No going back

  3. All systems working from my home laptop, will probably start losing places now :((

  4. Nothing works for me. No dice. I'm still passing more boats than are passing me, but this is not fun at all. It's like going sailing when half of your rigging and electronics work. Not satisfying. I'm certainly glad I didn't get up early for the start. Glad you're not going to forgo your vacation for this, Paula! In my mind, Many Players has a good game, even if they are French. This VORG is broken and badly needs fixing.
