What If my machine isn’t connected to the internet?
You will need to connect your machine to the internet to install both Steam and Cricket Captain 2019. If your machine goes in and out of internet connection, then we advise to put Steam in Offline mode when you are in a stable connection area.

How does the "saving to the cloud" feature work?
If you have Dropbox installed on your machines the cloud saves will work automatically once you have ticked the “Enable Dropbox” box on the options menu, this will take you to the dropbox authorisation page. If you do not have DropBox installed, you can get it from here: https://www.dropbox.com. When you save your game it will save a copy to the Dropbox. When you load, Cricket Captain will load the game with the furthest progressed in-game date between the drop-box and local copy. This means you will always be able to play the game that you have played most recently between the machines. This works between PCs, and between PC/iPhone/Android/Mac.
Will the game work on Windows tablets?
Yes, but not on Windows RT tablets.
