Hi,
I've been playing POTC for a long time and have had a go at all the mods, the latest is Version August 16.
Since installing above Version I have a bid of a problem: Runtime Error... engine.exe..abnormal prog.
termination! The Error.log says: compile error-file: Battle_Interface\Battleinterface.c;Line 8 can't
loadfile: Battle_Interface\Prog.GetSail Texture Data.c
The System.log entry:c:\project\drive_v2\Engine\sources\core.cpp line 526 fail to create program
Looking forward to responds so I can play again and don't stop the modding!!! cheers

Does that always happen? When does that error occur?

Are you sure you installed everything correctly?

Hi Pieter,
Good to hear from you!
I uninstalled the game and deleted the Folder , started from the beginning.
installed the Base from Disk, made sure it worked.
Than went on with version 12 , made sure it worked, next 13, made sure it worked.
Next installed up to July 19 and the music, officer and ship updates...and all is well!!
I will not go near the August updates!
Now I have to play and find out.
One thing about the config file: I had to run the game first (Base) before I got that one going!
I 'll let you know how it works in the near future!
Sorry for the time delay, we Australians are a little bit in front (with the clock anyhow)

I'm getting that same error runtime error with Engine.exe when starting the game. I've searched the forums, but I can't find installation instructions for the new build, except on your page, Pieter, to extract the full build overtop of POTC, then the latest update, then run "english.bat."

I've uninstalled, defragged me hard drive, reinstalled the game, started a game to make sure it worked, then extracted pre_B13_base.zip then extracted b13_beta.zip then ran english.bat, rebooted, ran config.exe then POTC -- runtime error with engine.exe.

I'm sure I'm just doing something stupid on the installation, or missing some obvious step, but since I'd rather be playing than messing about with downloads and reinstalls, I thought'd be quickest just to ask. I've an AMD Athlon 2800, 1 gig of memory, and an Nvidia 6800 video card.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

You need to install Build 12.1 (also on Pieters page) first, then Build 13 over that.

Build 12 works on stock POTC, but Build 13, in it's present form, requires Build12 to work.

Petros is right. It sounds to me as if you forgot to first install Build 12. That IS requried, otherwise you're missing several crucial files. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Thank you guys so much for getting right back. I'm downloading Build 12 right now. I knew it'd be something silly I'd missed.

With any luck I'll soon be gathering a new crew together and saving Oxbay in a game where the oceans won't look like oil slicks and my officers won't disappear when I hire more. Once again, thanks to y'all.
