Problem in “Capture Greenford Colony” Main Quest

[Warrior]

Hi guys,

I am facing another problem again. I start the “Capture Greenford Colony” Main Quest with two Man’O War ships, I manage quit well with the Ford’s cannons and I am capturing the Ford, I find then myself at the Greenford’s port without any crewmember and I fight the guards. Then I am entering the town (still `no-body` of my crewmembers follow me) and I am heading to the town center. There I see some of my crewmembers fighting another group of guards, I see them all die, and I kill all the guards and …. AND THEN I CAN NOT MOVE ANY MORE. No Danielle, no guards, nothing. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":c" border="0" alt="mad.gif" />

I have installed B12, alan_smithee’s Blacksmith mod, New Residences, New Weapons. The report generated by PotCModHelper is the follwing:

Did you try to use the charachter menu (F2).Sometime, after that, it work again.

 

[alan_smithee]

hum... I keep getting the "bad rope data" error when my game crashes upon trying to enter map mode or `sailint-to` from sea around an island... but only when I load a game and not on one I've started.

Warrior, you can try to hit the "i" key after finishing those soldiers in port before entering Greenford town.
That did work for me.

[alan_smithee]

And now here's my problem... sometimes the reinit key helps, and sometimes not. 80% of the time when I load a saved game, I get a crash either entering sea map mode or sailing to somewhere. On some old saves in overhead map mode I have no problem... it almost always happens with saves on land... and it seems to have something to do with those silly ropes, like in the above error report. Other than that I can't narrow down the cause.

 

[CatalinaThePirate]

Those rope errors occur so frequently that I doubt it's THAT which is making the game CTD... Try using the "I" AND the "T" keys... The "T" key helps settle down some game troubles, sometimes. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

 

[alan_smithee]

Yep, I've been doing both. I just start a new game when I get too much trouble. I haven't actually beaten this muther for over a year.

Got pretty far last night/this morning... till I accepted the quest to save the admiral's son (and this is a real game killer here), but I apparently didn't get to the kidnappers in FDF in time. I never knew there was a time limit. What it did was, I got into the tavern and the dialog automatically came up for "showing them the sign," but when I choose either dialog option, nothing happens. Actually what happens is the door locks on me and I can't even fasttravel my way out. All I can do is sleep upstairs, and then that door is locked too. Oh, and the save function is disabled.

 

[CatalinaThePirate]

Gawd. I never have any troubles at all with this game unless I am testing a new mod (no, that's not a swipe at you, Alan, it happens with my own as well, LOL!). <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Have any of you who have this trouble tried the Omega drivers for their video cards? <a href="http://www.omegadrivers.net/" target="_blank">http://www.omegadrivers.net/</a>

Also, if your video card is a Radeon, you should try these steps:

1.) change the AGP speed to x4 and turn fast writing off ( through the smart gear tab in advanced display properties in windows )

2.) From Radeon9700: For all you Radeon owners if the game crashes here is a 80% sure way that the crashes will be much little or maybe even removed:

a.Download drivers for your video card at the Omega link above.

b.Install the drivers and reinstall PotC just to be sure that there aren't any left bug with the other drivers(the old ones)

After that the game should run better and the crashes will probably be history.

HTH! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

 

[bumpkin]

<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_eek.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="icon_eek.gif" /> Two MOWs!! I have MOW and a Frigate. I have to be carefull about when I fire a broadside, lest the whole sytem resets. If I am not fighting in real time the I get about three broadsides before everything goes in the bag. Out of the 20 or so attempts of attacking the fort I have been able to subdue the fort only twice. Once I then died on the pier. The other time a British schooner came into the harbor and started pestering me so I gave a broadside and the compter reset.

I have a Asus `P4-800E` motherboard with an ATI Radeon 9800SE video card. I fear my problem is with the sound driver for the onboard Audio.

Still I love this game.
Greg.

 

[CatalinaThePirate]

Bumpkin, you might want to try the Omega Drivers for your Radeon 9800SE video card, and follow the suggestion above on installing. I'm guessing that the ATI cards simply seem to have trouble with PotC... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

 

[N.1.K / Raven Claw]

Your all sad i have 4 manowars. Its not that hard just go bust up some french. dont wait for them to come for you, board the bums.

 

[CatalinaThePirate]

Helps too if you make sure your crew tells you about ALL sightings instead of just the ones they "think" you might be able to handle. I've never been shy to board a ship larger than my own. After all, that's mainly what pirates DID, y'know. <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" />
