Getting it to run Like a lot of in development/Early access titles (not all) Titanic Honor & Glory does not have a setup program or anything like that.

You might remember I did the 001.03a version of Virtual Towers Online a while ago. I wanted to check out the earlier Virtual Towers Online HEX demo. This one probably wont be as long a piece as it is only a small demo. Menus All the menu’s are pretty basic and that’s fair enough. Not a big deal this was released before the more recent 001.03a release. Environment & External Graphics It’s easy to tell…
