BOATMASTER FIX IS IN...WITH NEW FEATURES

As several of you know we’ve had some unanticipated glitches running Boatmaster on certain high end video cards.  Although Boatmaster runs perfectly on all our computers, it doesn’t run as well on others, and performance hasn’t been as consistent as we wished.  Ted devised a fix for it which is now available on the website, www.boatmaster.org.

We believe this new version fixes all the problems we know of, and in addition, we’ve added a nifty new feature in the Help section.

Open the Help menus and you’ll find there are handy “cheat sheets” that contain the key stroke information for operating the boat and the fenders and lines.  This increases the user friendliness of the program a great deal, and we’re happy to provide it now to all our users who’ve waited so patiently for a fix.
The new version will install over the old one, and thus your boat files will be preserved also..  Your original code and registration will work with the new download.

If you still have problems, please contact us.  We’ll work with you to find a solution to any problems we’re told about.

Happy Boating,

Captain Boatmaster

    Thanks for your response. We're not certain we've fixed the Win7 portion of our "issue." Anybody else with Win7 having difficulty?

    Anonymous,

    If you would send me your email address I will send you a copy of the BoatMaster exe that is made for Windows 7. I have not been able to test it on a native Win7 system as mine runs in a VM.

    If you are interested in testing this version send an email to support@boatmaster.org.

    Thanks,

    Ted

    Ted has developed what we think is a fix for the Win7 OS issue. To anyone out there using Win7, we'd like to send you a Beta-installer for Win7 to test for us. Just comment here and send your email address, we'll send it to you asap.
