Hi all,

A few players have reported the error message "requires mods to run" when trying to play The Ship: Single Player without having purchased the multiplayer game.

Just to clarify, The Ship: Single Player is a standalone game and does not require mods to run!

We were unable to replicate this bug internally, so it was difficult to hunt down the issue, but our Technical Director chatted with Valve over the weekend and it turns out the error was at their end and they've now fixed it.

Can I ask anyone who had issues with the game, to uninstall and reinstall via the Steam client and let me know if there are further problems please?

Best regards
- Blazing Griffin Team

For years now, we've sat back and watched friendships being torn apart by The Ship. We've seen your former best friend blow you up on the toilet more times than we can count. We've watched you retaliate with a mannequin’s arm. Frankly, we took great pleasure in watching the situation escalate – the purse bombs, the piranhas, the sleeping potions, the cleavers, the scalpels, the sauna and…the umbrellas…oh God, the umbrellas…the things you did with those umbrellas…

Then, one day, there was nothing. The friendships that once brought you aboard The Ship, lay broken. No doubt you soldier on in your daily life, the salty taste of your own tears a stark reminder of what once was. But it’s not the same, and we know each time you see your former friends playing other Steam games without you, the notifications hurt as much as every badly timed death on The Ship.

Unfortunately, we've gone and done something you’re not going to like. We've added trading cards to the multiplayer game. We know each one of the (admittedly, quite beautiful) cards, backgrounds, badges and emoticons will be like tiny pixelated axes chopping away at the brave facade you've been putting on. Quite literally in one case…there’s an actual tiny pixelated axe!

We’re truly sorry and offer our full support through these difficult times.

Note: Steam Trading Cards are earned by playing The Ship Multiplayer only.
