    Constantly crashing

    I might just try that Thanks. Oh, BTW, does anyone know how to reduce the black pearl's HP, cause I killed her and then the game crashed before I could save it... and I really can't be bothered to do it again. I did try once, and I had her sitting still without a single sail standing, but I...

    I'm running a 128MB radeon 9700. The game doesn't exactly push its limits, so it should be fine for that... But in the FAQ post, this card was pointed out as a troublemaker for the game (it's the first post on the FAQ), but the link for a compatible driver doesn't work. Thanks for your time.

    Constantly crashing

    No I'm just using build 12... And the problem started before I added any mods, so it must be something that build 12 leaves alone... Or my computer just hates the game. Don't feel too bad if you're out of ideas. It doesn't really make sense now that we've replaced the DLLs, and got rid of the...

    Constantly crashing

    I think I was off the coast of Concieco... Though I'm not quite certain... I do know for sure I was doing stuff around one of the foreign sounding islands... I just can't remember which. I was fighting a battle, then when I went to return to map, it crashed.

    Constantly crashing

    Actually... Bad news again... After I played so long I was certain the crashes were behind me, it happened again... Is it at all possible it's something in engine.exe, or is that totally replaced when I downloaded build 12? I'm beginning to think I may just have to live with the crashes...

    Thanks for the DLLs Pieter... The game seems to be working perfectly now... i guess the game was the root of the problem after all... So hopefully I won't be putting any more posts in about crashes Thanks again

    Constantly crashing

    Well I hate to disapount you, but I crashed leaving Douwesen last night. So I guess my game just likes to crash. Pieter... What is this folder I am about to install? Thanks for it anyways.

    Constantly crashing

    I'm using build 12... I haven't bothered getting any of the newer ones yet. I'm not sure whether on not I've crashed in places other than redmond... But I think you're right... I can't remember crashing after a battle since I got the mod. I've been nervous like after I've stolen a ship and...

    Constantly crashing

    Bad news... The game still crashes... Although it seems not to be so often. I was playing for quite a while, and there were a few times when it froze for a second or two just as the loading map screen faded in, which is usually followed by the blue screen. But it continued to load and was...

    Constantly crashing

    Update on situation: XPFix was part of my old wireless driver, but I have internal now, and the driver doesn't have it... So I removed the old driver. So XPFix is gone... I'll keep you updated as to whether the game still crashes or not. Thanks for all the help.

    Constantly crashing

    The phantom program is XPFix.exe Some people seem to think it's spyware, but others say it's essential fo wifi. I'm not sure yet whether I should get rid of it or not... I'd rather not kill my wireless. And I still can't be certain if it's this program running that makes the game crash. Any ideas?

    Constantly crashing

    The crashes are much less often now, but they still happen... usually if I forget to save... I'm not certain... but it seems to me that after every crash, when my computer boots up again, that mystery program is running again. So my guess is it's linked. I tried shutting it down with task...

    Constantly crashing

    Well I finally have logs... You'll have to tell me how much of the error log you want... It's quite substantial And I'm also not sure if the top or the bottom is the last thing it wrote... So heres a bit from the top: RUNTIME ERROR - file: battle_interface\BattleInterface.c; line: 415 Missed...

    Constantly crashing

    Well it says error reports are on, but I can't find any errors... except in the protocol of PotCmodhelper... It says: Set current working directory to : .\ Error: PotC engine (engine.exe) not found Please select the PotC directory manually Menue: File -> Select PotC directory Initialisation...

    Constantly crashing

    Problem #54 It would seem that if I exit PotC of my own free will (which has only happened maybe 4 times) and later attempt to restart, there is no video, but audio still works... I have to turn my computer off between uses. This of course pales in comparison to the random crashing, but if this...

    scratch that about the sound... That was a hardware problem on my end...

    Constantly crashing

    The mod is installed... I went in and out of sea a few times with no problem, but then it happened again. I have checked, and the error log is enabled, but I found no logs. Also, all sound has gone (or I have lost my hearing) since I downloaded the mod. It's set on in the options... any ideas...

    Constantly crashing

    I'm currently downloading it... I'll tell you how it works out. I'm using Windows XP pro, and I've been considering reinstalling with XP home (since I only have the home disc) for various reasons... Do you think that would resolve this? Thanks

    Constantly crashing

    No I haven't got any of the mods. Is there a chance that using them would make a difference? The game crashes a split second after the loading map screen appears, if that helps at all. Thanks

    Constantly crashing

    No I'm afraid they don't show up anywhere that I can see... I've looked in just about every file I could and they're no where to be found... Is it possible I have to enable the logs somewhere in the engine? Thanks again for your patience.
