Build 11.99 turns "black" when I try to play?

Ahoy all!
My POTC Build 11.99 turns "black" when I try to play! I can get into the menu in about `1-3` seconds and then it all turns black, so I have to press Alt+F4! (Means that my computer "lock" it self)
I have a ATI Radeon 97Pro.
So...any one who can help me? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
(sorry if I did write any thing wrong, Im not the best at english <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> )
 
Welcome aboard, mate! Have a rum on O'l Jack! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

The problem may well lay with your video card driver. I'd suggest going to www.omegadrivers.net and installing their driver set. Much more stable, and a lot faster!
 
Also, make sure EURO is set to 1 in your BuildSettings.h file, and you've `de-localized` your files (the easiest way is to install build 11 first and choose the localization option, then install 11.99 beta on top).
 
Thanks mates <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

<b>Raxy, </b>you might try the Omega drivers for your video card - <a href="http://www.omegadrivers.net/" target="_blank">http://www.omegadrivers.net/</a> They've helped a lot of people with this same problem.

Please somebody help me, I really want to play with this new build <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
 
Yes Im playing with build 11 right now, but build 11.99 don't work <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
 
I didn't realise that Build 11.99 has been enabled for Euro POTC.

You could try the following:
Go into the PROGRAMWeather folder and open WhrSea.c in Notepad.
Then find the Sea.Bump.MipLevels line. If this line =4 then change it to 1 and if it already set to a 1 then change it to 4.
Save the file and load the game again.

If this still doesn't work then you will have to wait until the official Build 12 has been released and it has been set up to allow Euro intallations of POTC.
 
Thanks again. But it still doesn't work, so I must have to wait until Build 12 <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ib012.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cry" border="0" alt="ib012.gif" />

Build 12 release will be very soon... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> Get ready for the party! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
I have this problem now, it goes into the menu, then goes black and all I can do is Ctrl+Alt+Del out of PotC. Any suggestions?

My specs are:

P4 3.0Ghz
Asus `P4P800-E` Deluxe
1Gb `DDR-Ram`
Asus AX800 Pro 256mb
2 200Gb HDDs

I am installing the Omega drivers now, reporting back in 5 mins... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
The same problem as me <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_eek.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock:" border="0" alt="icon_eek.gif" />
 
Installed those Omega drivers, still doesn't let me play... It displays the menu for a fraction of a second, then switches to the loading screen for another fraction of a second, then goes completely black. I have no idea whatsoever what triggered this problem, as I have been playing 11.99e for a day now, only having problems running it on `full-screen` mode, as I say in another topic. I have the normal version, not the EURO one. Can anybody help (us)?
