I think I messed it up?

Well, I've been playing around with buildsettings.h and internalsettings.h and now I start the game, Vista tells me that "Stormengine2.exe has stopped working" and then it shuts down. Advice?

All this is assuming that the stock game and Build worked fine before you changed the BuildSettings.h and InternalSettings.h files.

1. Replace those files with the backup you made form the originals.
or get someone to post the originals, depending on the build version you are using.

2. Didn't make backups? Re-install the Build

3. Or, in the engine.ini file, set tracefilesoff = 0
Then post the error.log, system.log, and compile.log, so others can help find what went wrong.

where do I find the logs, I'm a little new to using them.

Once you have enabled the process of generating logs as described by Petros, these logs will appear as single files in your main directory which should be:
C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Pirates of the Caribbean.
The files you are looking for are: system, compile and error.

There could be some other usefull things in the pinned topics about reporting bugs, so you might want to see them thru also.

ARGH! You were right Pieter, one was off, so I fixed it, but it still doesn't work. All the ships I have are in ships_init. GRRR! Ill have to figure something out.
