It would be nice to either have a way of viewing the current ignore list or know where it is stored for viewing. I assume it is a client-side list?
Is there a limit to the number of names it can hold?
Does it prevent the ignored person's chat from appearing on the screen as well as in the client-side chat log or does it just hide the screen chat but leave an untouched chat log?

You can always check your Gmail spam folder via the webmail interface. Gmail - More - Spam.

If he is using a desktop, then he can upgrade the card to meet the minimum requirements. If he is using a laptop then the GPU cannot be upgraded (usually) and then he will have to wait till he upgrades the laptop. The game will remain in his Steam library indefinitely so it will always be there when he has hardware that is supported.

There may be occasions where mods are "incognito" to observe behaviour and they will need a mechanism to blend in. There will also be times when they need to wear the official hat and indisputably be identified as mods or staff.

I was just thinking, Fermull, and I apologise if you have already checked this... have you checked the spam folder in your ISP's webmail page rather than in your email client?
What I mean is this... my ISP here in the UK is VirginMedia and they filter mail coming to me. Although I do have a Spam folder in my email program for anything that gets through the ISP, they have a webmail interface where I can sign in through a browser and view my mail on their server directly before it is actually sent to me and there is a spam folder there which they filter everything through. I know that Google gmail do it too. There it would be Gmail - More - Spam.

They are based in the Ukraine (UTC +2) and it is also the weekend.

You are right - I have updated my post above. Thanks.

According to the motherboard spec, you will be using the PCI-E 2x slot that your current graphics card is in for a new one. That is not a particularly fast slot for a graphics card so you will not want to put a really fast card in there or else it will be waiting for data to and from the motherboard all the time but there is certainly room for improvement in the mid-price card range.
Your Radeon HD 6550D scores around 2400 on the 3DMark11 benchmark which is reasonable but not brilliant. Modern laptops beat that now but there are still folks here playing Naval Action on much worse equipment.
I would suspect that anything higher than an AMD R9 280 is a waste of money on that motherboard although an R9 270 may be worth looking at but assuming you want to stick with AMD, you may get good mileage out of slightly older cards like the Radeon 7950.
EDIT : I have been corrected - it is a PCI-E x16 slot which is fine for any current GPU. Thanks for the correction.

I have carried a knotting-related grudge for well over thirty years concerning the figure-of-eight... a very simple knot as you will of course agree.
It goes back to a Cub Scouts (the junior Scouts group) meeting where there was a knotting competition. Each "patrol" were given a short length of rope, formed up in lines and the person in charge called out the name of a knot. The boy at the head of the line had to rush up and demonstrate his knot of that type - first to complete it scored a point for his Patrol.
The figure-of-eight is very simple. So simple in fact that I did the knot as I ran forward and presented the completed knot as I arrived. I was accused of cheating, ordered to do it again and we lost the point, much to my annoyance.
Young lads can carry grudges for an immeasurably long time. My wife has just said..."How old were you? You have been carrying this thing for nearly forty years!!!"
Mind you, it did have its advantages... our washing lines are perfect round turn and two half hitches. It bugs the heck out of me when a neighbour or workman takes them down to move a ladder or scaffolding across the garden.

How did you pay for it? If it was through PayPal, it will be sent to the registered email address attached to your PayPal account.

This is just a guess on my part so please treat this as an honest question... are there any software emulators for Shader Model 5 that would allow it to be run on older hardware with a beefier CPU?
-
It has been suggested that Shader Model 4 may come in the future when the game is more complete but it has not been specified when.
Until then, Shader model 5 is the minimum specification that works with the current builds.

Have a look at the discussion threads about Macs in the Support and General forums. For now you will need BootCamp to play NA on a Mac.

Could it be implemented by an invisible triangle downwind of each ship that applies a minus x% to the wind strength while another ship's centre point is in the triangle?
-
But check what CPU families your motherboard can support beforehand.
-
I think they have two email addresses that we are aware of. info@game-labs.net and support@game-labs.net.

From a testing point, that lynx rolled over as though the water was not there - once the masts passed through the water, it just flipped upside down. We could assume the masts would have snapped but is that how the devs would expect it to be modelled?

I used to live for the days when I got I KitKat which had no wafer and so was solid chocolate!

An issue with the idea of not being paired with a shunned individual in a battle is that if BadBob has enough people shunning him, what happens when he enters the lobby? Can the battle even go ahead while he is present? Could he in theory hold the lobby to ransom by his presence?
If someone on each team has him in a shunned list, could he be left behind in the lobby when the battle starts along with "I am sorry but no one present in the staging area wanted to sail with you" message?
-
It would be the usual info email address but there is currently no formal name-change process. We have seen offensive names being changed so we know it can be done but the rest of us are simply waiting until the database is reset nearer to launch. If there is a pressing privacy need to have a name changed, then I would not expect the devs to mind the occasional request but minor name edits could probably be left for now.

At the moment, I don't believe there is any support for vsync (capping the game frame rate to the monitor's) on NVidia cards at least. If you have a powerful computer your frame rate is likely to be higher than what your monitor can display. If you have a more modest machine, you may find that you get frame stuttering and variability due to choosing too high a level of detail in the game. You can check your fps on the title bar at the top and can access the graphics settings using Esc and adjust them on the fly.
It might be possible you are getting some sort of motion sickness from the pitching of the waves? You may be able to reduce this by zooming out a little more in sailing mode but you will still have see it in gunnery mode.

According to some old pages from 2008, the Radeon 4600 family seem to be DX10.1 cards with shader model 4.1 support only. The Radeon 5xxx family (and newer) appears to be the minimum for shader model 5.
How long did your keys take to arrive?

alumct - Have a look at the sticky post in this forum titled "Useful Information" as it explains how and when the keys are generated. When I purchased my copy, it was clearly stated before I paid that the keys were generated in batches.
