BUILD 11 BUGS ONLY

"Missing Son" Quest worked now for me, like Bo'sn i just had to reinitalize right before i left isla de muell for Flays de Fleur. Now everything with the quest worked fine. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:ops" border="0" alt="blush.gif" />:

I think the food bug has been mentioned. But I’ll post my encounter with it up to be sure:

After the quest where you are thrown overboard and have to use a pirate ship to get back to your own, when you eventually find your own there is no food or rum requirement for your ship. The crews moral updates and your land still earns money but your crew doesn’t eat or drink rum anymore.

The way I play the quest is to argue that I can captain a ship with the pirate, take his test and spare the officer, kill the double crossing captain then take his ship and the officer with me.

I think this bug may be related to the fact that when you use the pirate ship they give you, it doesn’t have any requirements either. As the quest is designed, when completed you don’t actually physically swap ships, your pirate ship just magically turns into your old ship probably bringing its lack of requirements with it <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
I have had a great run with Build 11. I had played several of its earlier versions, and the improvements you have made to the original game are amazing. I wonder if you ever step back and consider how little of the original game remains untouched? I particularly like the addition of coastal ship encounters.

I encountered a few bugs, mainly that CTD problem with the Animists quest (before you fixed it) and the lack of any need for rations and rum after the storm. The other thing I noticed has to do with the fame system. The rankings (starting with Unknown Freebooter, as I recall) seem to have ended for me with "Mister". I am not sure if this is a bug or not, but it seemed a little anticlimactic after "Scourge (or was it Terror?) of the Archipelago".
 
except the ctd i have sometime (mainly due to the cocktail amd+nvidia+Direct 9+XP) i not many problems except one anoying bug, dunno if anyone has ever experienced this but after you have finish the main quest, when you go to the lighthouse and try to go to Oxbay canyon, well its locked same as oxbay mine its locked too.

But you can go from oxbay cannyon to the lighthouse without probs, this is kinda anoying because if you arent careful, when u come from greenford and choose the oxbay cannyon exit and pass the cannyon well you are basically stuck there, the only way is to reload a previous saved game....

Oh yea there is 2 quest give a problem too the final main quest which never end (even after u bring back Silard to Brin, nice reward btw ahr arh) and the nigel/artoy quest, for nigel after the 2 deals well he does nothing more and the quest stay unfinish, and for artoy same as everyone nothing happens after IM (if you didnt use the hard way <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p:" border="0" alt="pirate2.gif" /> ).

Well thats all i can think about it
 
Random spelling errors in dialogue and game e.g. in the relations titles for example, "Unkown Pirate" should be Unknown ( I know I know not a big issue, but still gets on my nerves)

Also, I get random hangs when doing 2 things, first selling all cargo on a ship in a store will hang for about 6 seconds before calculating money and continuing purchase, also when talking to shipyard owner and you go to repair screen the screen hangs for about `6-8` seconds before allowing you to repair your vessel.

Also when you ALT+TAB to switch apps and then ALT+TAB back the screen is completely black, you can still hear the music an dialogue, but when you hit the F1 button the game completely crashes to desktop, not fun if you haven't saved in a while and get an IM all of a sudden. This particular bug did not happen in the original version, just with the build 11.

Thank you all so much for this build, it really is great, I am really enjoying it. I don't mean to be critical with these bugs, but I am assuming these will be taken into consideration when releasing the next build. Thanks again!
 
Hello there. Just to let you know that Alt tabing is not allowed in PotC or any game really... For the other things, I too suffer from them. Someone can help ya.

Mate, I'm not sure if you've been living at the bottom of the sea for the last few years, but I use ALT+Tab and ALT+Enter all the time to minimize and switch apps between games and other programs running in the background. Some games take longer to reinitialize when you do that or rerender most likely, but most games can...PotC could before I added Build 11, now it just crashes when you try to return to the game.
 
Sumptin' tew check , matey! In de Configuration utility fer PotC, found thru yer Start Menu, UNcheck Fullscrene Mode an' make sure de Resolution matches dat fer yer Desktop. Doing dis essentially put de game in "Windowed Mode" but using de full screne. Ye SHOULD be able tew do `Alt-Tab` now, at least Fred Bob can! <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" />
 
Ease up pal... I was merely restating what alot of games that I have played have said concerning `Alt-tab`... All the ones I played discrouged the user from doing so. If you can do it, great for you. PotC has always been unresponsive after doing so for me...even without the build. Yes the game does allow `Alt-Tab` to be used, but ina very limited way. Thing is, think twice before you go and rip into someone for just trying to help.... Anyways, hope you get a solution.
 
Arr! Let's be a mellowin' out thar, mateys! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> Really no need thar tew insult nor tew git riled up in response either! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> `Alt-Tab` does be werkin' some if'n set as Fred Bob be describin' above, but stock out o' de box defaults will prolly be a crashin' yer game! <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" /> At least PotC kin be doin' it fairly predictably, however Fred Bob hai't figgered out how tew git werkin' well fer BF42! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh" border="0" alt="huh.gif" />
 
Indeed. BF1942 does not support it, as indicated in the readme. I was always under the impression that generally its not a good thing to be closing a program without going through the interdace... We learn new things everyday. lol. Sorry if I sounded irritated.

Found a really BIG bug

i'm not SURE if this is build 11, but it seems likely with all the new quests with governors:

you can go to any governor to claim a reward! (i.e. i ask english gov. for work, kill some pirate, go to isla Muelle gov., he says good job! -and i'm sure i NEVER got a job from isla muelle gov.)
 
Jedi Academy's graphics engine will not even let you `alt-tab`. It brings up the menu bar, but you see the game running in place of your desktop, covering any folders you have open.

there is a recurent CTD when on the map as soon as you see Oxbay island, well the greenford part <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

edit:

Actually this recurent CTD has nothing to do with Oxbay, in fact its because of the repair skill, let me explain this clearly, as soon as someone has more then one mast "broken" (more likely blown off)on their ship, go to the ship status and then clic on the sails, there you will see something rather strange, the thing says nothing about reparing it (at least for me), it just shows speed decreased at x %. and then when you go to the nav map, the game will crash since it tries to repair something that doesnt show the need to be repaired...

I hope i was clear enough ...
 
About the ALT+TAB thing, sorry for sounding abrupt, I was just stating the truth as I have experienced it for going on 10 years now of online play. However I do have one more bug to report in the build. When I speak to a diplomat in attempts to restore my relationship with a certain country, I can go through the dialogue up until the point where I select which country I wish to repair relations with. As soon as I select the country, say England for example, the game crashes to desktop. Also after destroying Greenford and Isla Muelle forts, when I attempt to return to Conciergo i travel to it on the map screen and then hit space to return to live play, once again crash to desktop. I returned to a save game before the fort captures and repeated the same thing to test, once again it crashed. Wierd bug I never had a problem visiting Conciergo until after the forts were destroyed.
 
Alt+Tab <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> This game is notoriously sensitive to that kind of thing - and combined with a graphics card or system that can't handle it tends to exacerbate matters. <shrug> Everybody's system is different.

Hummm. <b>Darkmuncan, </b>are you getting an error.log file generated?

If so, please post what it says here - perhaps someone can trace out why you're having this problem.

You also might like to try using the "I" key to renitialize before you go to sea, perhaps that will help.
 
ok, I started the Clair Larrouse quest, and he told me to go to oxbay. However, when he sailed with me he got killed and his ship sank. Now everytime I go to oxbay it automatically makes me go to the mines, but ALL the doors are locked. I can't get into oxbay or greenford or the beach or the mines. I just get stuck, and can't do anything with oxbay. Any way to cancel this quest?
