bad save

[Devils_Lawyer]

I was playing the game whit the 21,1 build mod and then saves inside concaio shop.

Then i saved soon after at concaio port and the game simply closed itself.

When i reopend the game my save had no picture and it says "bad save" on it and i cant load it.

Pls dont say my save aint gonna work <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

do you have only the one save?

Ok heres a tip that i think you should use in any game that Bethesda have been involved in <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> never overwrite your saves games. make sure each new save is in a seperate slot and then just delete the older ones you know you wont need. Morrowind on xbox+pc had this problem(a bethesda game) as did Daggerfall and some are saying the same for Oblivion(all bethesda games).

Another tip for PotC dont save inside any buildings just to be on the safe side.

but yeah sadly it sounds like your saved game is dead <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

what's absolutely failproof is what petros said in combination with keeping your last save file. so you always have on spare, as a backup. don't keep all your save files, just two, as it does occasionally still happen. (but a lot less if you follow petros' advice)

k thx for help but luckily i only started playing the game whith the mod today so i didnt went that far but as u said i should have thought of it.

Wipe the tears and start over..no big deal <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

how experienced are you with this game? i could give you some tips.

I played the game alot long time before and almost finished it (reach the batlle whit the black pearl) so i know the game quite well.

However im not to familiar whit the things about the mod allthou ive read some about it.

But sense ur asking i got a question.

Where do i go if i want 2 start as a land owner? who do i talk 2?

 

[morgan terror]

a land owner is an ability. it increases the profit you make of land by 50%. you can get land by buying a letter of marque from a governor and getting promoted when you get a better relation with that nation.(by sinking ships of a hostile power, for instance. destroying an enemy fort gives a massive bonus of 30 points.) you can actually work for all nations except pirates. if you join the pirates, everyone becomes hostile. you don't become an enemy of the nations the nation you joined with is hostile to. at least, that's how it is in build 12.1, i'm not sure if this has changed.

 

[Devils_Lawyer]

Ive managed to work my way up as a commander for the english but i stlll cant get this land owner thing work out so heres a few questions

Can i only build on oxbay or grennford?

Do i need repairing abilities?

Do i have to complete the quest of recapturing oxbay?

Cause so far i tried to ask the officer but i cannot order him to make a working party.

And i do have planks in cargo and plenty of cremembers.

You can't actually build on your land. You just get a steady amount of money from your land and nothing else. There is a BuildingSet mod that will enable you to build buildings anywhere, but it's not in Build 12.1 and in Build 13 it is turned off, because it's not working entirely right anymore.
