12.1 crash entering oxbay for 2nd time (to meet Tobias)

[BurritoX]

I played through POTC in your Build 11 a year ago and felt like playing through again when I saw to my great pleasure that you all are still modding for POTC!!!

I downloaded your build 12.1 and started a new game, however, in going through the main quest on the second sneak into Oxbay (to meet Tobias) The game crashed immediately upon "entering" the gate into Oxbay (from the jungle). What is worse, and entirely mystifying, is that POTC will not start up again!?!? THe engine crashes immediately every time I try to boot up! This is truly bizarre.


I am running win 2000 on a Athalon 64 2.2 Ghz With an Nvidia 7600 and gig of ram.

Has anyone else had a similar problem? How do I get POTC to boot up again?

Maybe some of the configuration files or savegames got messed up somehow? Try moving your savegames, engine.ini and options into a different temporary folder and try to run the game again.

Firstly, try to do as Pieter suggested. If that fails...

In this situation I would execute option zero: uninstall PotC, remove what was left in Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Pirates of the Caribbean and then install everything again.

I have never encounter crash upon entering Oxbay to meet with Tobias, not mentioning the one which would prevent ENGINE.EXE running. I really don't know what happened...

Best wishes,

Thanks for the reply -

I'll try moving the files like you mentioned. Hopefully this was just a strage corruption of the ini files like you mentioned.

Thanks for all the hard work you have put into this mod! I hope I will be able to enjoy it fully soon!
