I'm having a problem with build11..

[Koor]

Aye, I know this should be on the tech board, but another posted it there on july 27th, and he wasn't responded to.. this board seems to be much busier.

I just installed build 11 having not had any mod before that, I'm playing the US version with an nVidia 5900xt

Upon loading the game I hear music, but the screen is black, and I cant do anything. I uninstalled everything and reinstalled, but still the same problem. Any suggestions?

Oh, and my vid card drivers are the most recent.

Thanks for your time.

hi koor, welcome <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="^_^" border="0" alt="happy.gif" />

no, it shouldn't be on the tech board, i reckon technically anything to do with the builds should be in here <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="^_^" border="0" alt="happy.gif" />

did your game work before installing build 11? and have you checked that european version is <i>not</i> set in PROGRAMbuildsettings.h? though i don't know why it would be. (i assume yours is the american version <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="^_^" border="0" alt="happy.gif" /> ).

Yup, I had made it really far into the store copy of the game before deciding to put this mod on. Deleted everything in the program file and saves file, as the readme said (after installation it says this, heh) so I had to reinstall the mod having done so. Once I reinstalled the mod, the game still wasnt working.. the screen remains black although I hear the game noises. So I decided to do a complete wipe of the game and reinstall the game and mod.. still doesnt work.

Of the five choices on the mod install I have only been choosing build11

Am I wrong in doing so?

And thanks Kieron for the speedy response <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

lol <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> deleting the existing stuff isn't really necessary, i wouldn't worry.

ok, before running the game, could you open engine.ini (in the potc directory), find the line <b>tracefilesoff = 1</b> and change it to 0. that way three files should be created when you run the game: error.log, compile.log and system.log. then can you post those files here?

 

[Koor]

Ok, here we go:

well it could be a graphics problem alot of people have had problems with geforce cards try usig the omega drivers and see what happens here <a href="http://www.omegadrivers.net/" target="_blank">http://www.omegadrivers.net/</a>

<b>Koor, </b>it's possible that you have a corrupt install - something is not working right in the game itself. Perhaps you should try a completely new install of both game and Build - That should straighten things out. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

 

[Koor]

I've reinstalled the game and the mod twice now, but to no avail.. I'll check out the omega drivers..

 

[Koor]

WOOHOOHOOOHOOO HOO!

The Omega drivers did it. I had had the latest official nVidia drivers, but they didnt work.. these omega ones did however. Thank you all for the help!

Now I can finally sink my teeth into build 11 and see just what everyone's been talking about.

Thanks again guys!

You guys are great!
