Abnormal program termination

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" />  Pieter posted about Vista and says POTC Build 14 alpha6 runs ok on Vista!
Alpha 7 has all sorts of problems! Myself I do not even look at Vista! There has to be a
lot more support for it. Even if I bought a new Computer it would run XP! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whippa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":whipa" border="0" alt="whippa.gif" />
 
i have the same problem: the runtime error with the 'abnormal program termination' <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
i have Build13 properly installed now, but could anyone tell me step by step how to install build 14 alfa 6 properly?
i'm dying to sail the Dutchman!! (pun <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> )
thank you in advance

thanks Nosie <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="bow.gif" /> , i found them:
1) Make sure you have Build 13 installed properly
2) Remove the folder RESOURCE\MODELS\locations\DECKS
3) Extract the Build 14 Alpha version on top of your game
4) Extract and run preset.bat from the Build 14 Alpha file
5) Run RunMe.bat
6) Reset the controls to default!
7) Change the game's settings, controls, etc. and play

now, step 1 and 2 I understand completely, but I have a question for the third: should I extract to Bethesda softworks, or to the submap Pirates otC? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
As for step 4, the same question
you've been very helpful already <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
oh yeah, Commodore changed something in globals.c, didn't help here
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" />  Yes as it says you extract to the main folder!
Preset.bat, that sounds a bit confusing, I'm not sure but
if the file is not found it's in the install mod to be seperatly extracted
or it has to be run before 14/6 install. Somebody here should be able to clear that up!
Morgan Terror you read all these post, clear it up please. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
you need to first transfer the preset.bat file to the game directory and then run it. i made that mistake once too.
 
Now I don't understand it anymore at all <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />
I tried again, but the message of death still appears: runtime error abnormal program termination <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
 
1) Make sure you have Build 13 installed properly : check
2) Remove the folder RESOURCE\MODELS\locations\DECKS : check
3) Extract the Build 14 Alpha version on top of your game : I unzipped it to Bethesda softworks
4) Extract and run preset.bat from the Build 14 Alpha file : extracted to Bethesda softworks, running happened like in a flash
5) Run RunMe.bat : check
6) Reset the controls to default! : couldn't because game won't start up
7) Change the game's settings, controls, etc. and play : idem

I'm still a modding (read: mod installing) noobie, so forgive me <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" />
 
what you've done now is placed all the files in the wrong folder. no wonder it doesn't work. the idea is that the new files should overwrite the old ones, so you should place them in the folder after that, 'pirates of the caribbean'. i think you should re-install the game and build 13 first, including update 3. running preset.bat without the proper files in place screws the game up.
 
Allright, i re-installed the game and build13, it is working fine now.
I downloaded the Build14 alfa6 zipmap into 'my documents'
as you said, I deleted the map 'decks' and then put the preset and the runme in Bethesda softworks\Pirates of the caribbean.
Now, before i copy or overwrite any files, am I doing it right so far?
thank you very much for all your help and time <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
so you installed build 13 update 3 too, right? that's very important, otherwise it won't work properly. if you did, then you're doing fine at the moment.
 
yarrrr, the game works now! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbs1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":2up" border="0" alt="thumbs1.gif" />
thank you, matey! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
I'm so thankfull to you <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_praise.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="icon_praise.gif" />
 
now for the real flood of questions. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
Thanks Gents,

After reading alil' more closely of what Captain Tom wrote I too was able to get 14-6 to work. Now, time to play!!!!!!

Hi there. I'm a newbie here; I'm getting a similar message of doom - abnormal program termination......with Build 13 update 3. The game's been fine with previous builds.
See error log for any clues:

I'm not aware of trying to do anything debug-like, and I don't know in which file line 2246 is causing a problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks
 
What weirdness is that?!

Did you tamper with engine.ini? With a text editor, for example?

Thanks for the quick reponse.

Weirdness is too right. I hadn't touched engine.ini, but whatever the problem was (and I don't understand how on earth this has solved it) I fixed it by commenting out the 'debuginfo' line in engine.ini.

No idea why that should work (or why the game seems to accept it), but I played for 30 mins earlier having done this with no problems at all, 'cept for running out of wheat. If I get an idea why it worked I'll post it, just for (yawn) interest.
