    Any way to set camera back further in 3rd-person view in widescreen?

    Been playing CoAS at 4K (3840 x 2160) and it looks great and runs smooth (with a little help from DGVoodoo wrapper). However, the default behind the character camera in 3rd person is too close, giving me motion sickness. Is there any way to have the default distance of that camera back further...

    Major microstuttering on GTX 1070 with the DirectX8 Sea Dog games

    I'm using the 1.7 bugfix-only combined patch for CoAS and though I have a fairly good rig (i5 3.9 GHZ/GTX 1070) I get annoying microstutter every few seconds with these games. I have to use RivaTuner to lock framerates at 60 FPS to get smooth framerates but even when it's smooth, every few...

    How do I get my fleet to follow me?

    I'm finally having some progress & success with New Horizons, with 500,000 gold and a small fleet of three ships, but how do I get them to follow me? They tend to dawdle behind and end up getting decimated in random battles.

    Some questions about manual aiming, logs and other observations

    Though I'm a total newbie at it, never having even played the vanilla game, I've been playing POTC:NH obsessively over the last few days and finding it frustratingly difficult (as it should be, considering the 101-level shite that passes for PC gaming these days) and my pride will not allow me...

    Favorite pirate movies/TV shows?

    What got me into playing New Horizons was a combination of playing the PC game Starpoint Gemini 2 and watching the excellent new television series Black Sails. I discovered the most fun parts of Starpoint Gemini 2 for me was boarding and taking over ships, to either sell, loot, destroy or...

    Framerates locked a 64 FPS and no DirectX 9?

    Took a look at this game recently and discovered that on my i5 3.8 GHz, GTX 660 Ti-based system, the framerate is locked at 64 FPS whereas POTC runs at frequently over 200 FPS (!) with vsync off. Is this normal? Even in the unmodded vanilla game it does this. Also, according to my MSI...

    Solved How do I heal crew & companions on land?

    Newbie problem here. I was in the jungle with two captains when we encountered skeletor monkeys. My captain/surgeon got bitten and was poisoned and all I could do was stand by helplessly and watch him turn green and then experience a quick slow death. How do I heal people in my party? Is it...

    Included in Build Disable "Sidestep Disabled" message

    I don't want sidestep enabled because I find myself frequently falling through floors but I hate the eyesore of seeing the message in the upper left corner of my screen constantly when I'd prefer to just concentrate on other more relevant info. How do I disable the message and still have...
