    Additional Ship Balancing

    Was any balancing done in relation to speed? I'm found the only reason to use smaller ships is working your way up to a bigger one. I captured a pirate fast galleon that goes almost 16 and can run down just about anything, along with having a large crew and good cannon load out. I would...

    Possible help for frequent crash sufferers.

    I can't say for sure what the issue is, but it runs still very smooth with the hardware acceleration turned down. The only noticeable differences are sometimes there is a slightly green tint to the smoke, and a slight pause starting melee combat in large groups.

    Possible help for frequent crash sufferers.

    I enjoy the mod but I was having major issues with crashing when entering the sailing portion of the game. It was getting so bad that I was about ready to just give up. My errors were always in sea_ai.dll (I might have .dll names wrong its from memory but you get the idea). Now I recalled a...

    Well I was right, and I was wrong. I was right about the SLI, Nvidia detects POTC as 'Cossacks II' if you use their control panel and sets it to one gpu, not SLI. The problem is it didn't really fix my crashing, which is just getting extremely frequent. Its only switching to the seaai.dll (or...

    Funny, I know of several that it didn't work well with, and needed either patches or driver updates. This included Spore which only came out 2 years ago and I don't know if they ever fixed the SLI to stop it from crashing, and Bad Company 2 which got a patch from Nvidia a short while after it...

    Build 14 Beta 1 Feedback

    Ok, I was crashing constantly, so much so that I would cringe at every change to the ship view because it seemed like it was around 50-50 I'd be looking at my desktop next. So just on a hunch I disabled SLI, and haven't crashed sense, and the transitions are faster. Obviously this game was...

    Tweek to save in combat?

    Now I'm not a save in combat kinda guy, but after an epic fight with a 4th rate which I finally capture after what had to be 1/2 hour RL time, only to have it crash when I go back to sea mode, I'd be ticked pink if I could save in combat so those 9 ship battles don't go for naught. If there is...

    Can't sell ships?

    I used fast travel, walking, anything because I had a pretty good game going and nothing worked. I did a complete reinstall and all is working fine.

    I didn't know the mechanics of the mission, I assumed it was world map. Would screen shots help?

    Can't sell ships?

    Specifics are this. I was in the starter ship and happened to enter a port fighting a pirate grouping. One of those ships was a sloop which I managed to capture. So I go to sell the starter ship and keep the lugger but it wouldn't let me sell either. So I did the officer thing, and got...

    Can't sell ships?

    Not sure exactly whats going on. I've had no issues selling ships on past games, but on my new one, the bar is lit up like its sellable in the shipyard but I can not sell the ship. I have no active quests involving the ship, and the only way I could get rid of it was to remove my officer form...

    Build 14 Beta 1 Feedback

    Oddly it started up again fine when I rebooted my system. Restarting the game didn't help but a full reboot and I was back in business. It really adds are great dimension to the game. Having to actually USE your spyglass to see flags is just great for immersion. I also think the greater...

    Build 14 Beta 1 Feedback

    I decided to try direct sailing and it really was brilliant, and sadly I need to say was. I tried it and completed an island to island mission and some test navigating without a problem. Now when I go far enough my position never changes and I sail to infinity without really moving. I'm...

    Finding lone targets?

    Well I've learned a few things. There are lone ships out there, but the message screen doesn't always imply that. One or half a dozen, you don't get a good indication of numbers, which from a tactical standpoint is kinda lousy because you appear so close to them. I know this is more reason to...

    Finding lone targets?

    Ok so I start a new game at journeymen level, do a bunch of escort and fetch to at least get a fully equipped ship and I fill up the weapons locker, find an officer with 10 in gunnery, and decided to go hunting. The issue is that no one seems to travel alone. I found one solo ship and that was...

    That change helped thanks! EDIT: I think there is a small bug. I get the message that my crew moral has gone from good to elated due to sea sickness, which I assume is not intended.

    I was playing the 'new' Pirates! and, while an amusing game, the easy cartoon nature made me long for a real pirate style game. I eventually found this site, and I have to say you guys have done an amazing job. One aspect I don't understand are storms. I know you are suppose to put your bow...
