Awful performance!!

BLOODUK

Landlubber
Runs really well in the towns , runs really well on the boat too i can sail past other boards and still its all good..


Then the cannons start going off and the frame rates drop to about 3fps and it becomes an unplayable mess , the sound stutters and thing start jerking about. The original unmodified game is perfectly fine!

X1800XT
DUAL CORE 2.6GHZ ( with driver,optimizer )
WINXP
2GB MEMORY

This shouldn't be happening , whats worse options no longer works and crashs the game if i click it!

Think ill just give up on this game with its mods <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Oh and before u ask , latest drivers installed
 
I get this too.

Has anyone also noticed that the inital pre-load time has increased quite a bit too. (the screen where it says LOADING...)
 
Yes mr_cyberpunk at first i thought it had crashed it took so long <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
 
Is that using B14 Alpha 5 or Alpha 6 or something? Remove memory.mp from your main PotC folder if it is there. That might help. Also: Be sure to get Build 14 Alpha 6 if you are using the Build 14 Alpha's.
 
Build 14 alpha 7 <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
pieter, where do i enable errorlogs? my game keeps crashing after about five minutes of gameplay... that annoys me... so I need errorlogs to find the problem, or to ask you guys if I cant locate it (which i prolly cant)

go into Engine.ini

[codebox]tracefilesoff = 0

[script]
debuginfo = 1
codefiles = 0
runtimelog = 1
;tracefiles = 0[/codebox]

change your settings to this. That will enable the Error.log file and that should tell you everything.
 
hehe... then a second question... whats the errorlog file called??? otherwise i wont be able to use it for anything...
 
error.log

Kind obvious dummie <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> arrrr!

When you get an error - alt/tab out of the game (if you have that function running) or just come out.
Go to the Game menu screen (you may have to refresh) you will find a file called:
error
Click on that and it will give you the sub-program, line number and the error.

Hope that helps.
 
I've discovered that most battles between my Class 3 ship and another Class 3 or higher results in practically 1 FPS and you can't even fight. I'm now stuck fighting smaller craft.
 
I'd rather not alt/tab out, since it makes my game crash... it says it is still running, but when i go back all i get i a black screen and the sounds from the game...

which game menu are you talking about?

The black screen sounds like the game IS there - click on it (put your cursor in the black screen area, and click) and the game should come back.

The menu is the one displayed when you click on (open) "Pirates of the Caribbean" file.
error (if there is an error) is just below ENGINE in the list.

Be sure to remove the full screen option in the config.exe file, if you do so you should be able to alt/tab without any problem.

I noted with build 14 alpha 7 an important slowdown during a boarding. Nevertheless, i have a 2600+ <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh" border="0" alt="huh.gif" />
 
I also noticed slowdowns while on land, walking in 3d like in slow motion. It only happens sometimes - for example when going to the shipwright in Oxbay for the first time ... can anyone confirm?
