Hello,
I'm not sure if my NA installation is corrupted or if there is some other issue, so I'll ask here in the hope I can get these problems resolved.
I've installed NA under Steam as an administrator using Win 7. I meet the hardware requirements for the program. In general, things seem to working correctly and OW looks and sounds great! I have used only the Lynx. I have three notable issues. First, I don't seem to have all aspects of the user interface available. For example, there are no icons along the bottom of the screen for cannon, etc. Second, I cannot get the crew to appear. Finally, manual control of the ship with the keyboard is limited, as far as I can tell, to hard use of the rudder (by holding down A or D; single key presses don't seem to have an effect) and furling and unfurling the sails using W and X. I also cannot control the masts individually. The ship is permanently in autoskipper mode (the F key has no evident effect). I also have no access to the spyglass. I assume things like battle sails are limited to the larger ships.
Apologies if these issues are discussed in the forums or guides but I haven't found them to be so far.
Can someone suggest how I might proceed to fix these issues, or what I am doing wrong?
Thanks! This alpha of NA is really promising and I look forward to exploring its full potential.
Jeff
