Hi guys,
I badly need your help. My game crashes the whole time. I replaced all files with backups but it still doesnt work. But I better tell the whole story:
It started when I played the standard Story Line and I was at the point when you must sink the frigate with the idol on board (after you killed all the guards in bridgetown). I boarded the frigate and was successfull. Than, before I could enter the Transfer-Menu, the game showed the Storm-Video and I was on Bonaire (the story was correct so far). But then it began: when I turned around, I saw, that the sea was gone and only a black field was there (a bit like the scene with davy Jones in Hoist the Colors). The man spoke with me and when I wanted to enter the bonaire jungle it happened nothing. And I could read something really weird: The Game said, that "Error Error" has reached level 2.
I thought, ok, better shut the game down and reload (that wasnt bad because I save everytime before enter my ship, because I still have the error that my shipdeck crashes sometimes). But when I wanted to load the file (the game worked) it crashed. I tried it twice. Then I was really pissed off, because I managed to get a Soleil Royal and so on and now my savegame was for the trash. Ok, doesn't help. But I didn't want to start from the beginning so I replaced the starting Ship with the Soleil Royal and cheated my gold an my levels. Everything worked fine. I captured Port-au-Prince and Tortuga/La Tortue to get my Commander-Status back and then I saved, because it was late
.
So.. I wanted to start the game, ok, wanted to load -> CRASH!
Then I said ok, replace the files, so I made a backup of changed files (internalsettings, cannons and ships, which ALL was working) and replaced RESOURCE, PROGRAM and MODULES with the backup files from another build mod install (same version of course). As it was finished, the game worked, but savegame still crashed. Deleted Savegame, shut game down to change the starting ship again to soleil royal, wanted to start and now the whole game crashed after the video (in the loading scene with the HMS Bellona).
At the moment I try to install the game with the setup new, I hope it will work now.
But it cannot be a simple accident that the savegame of a certain storyline crashes two times?
EDIT: New-Installing helped, game started, I started the storyline, everything is fine now, at the moment, the savegame is still load-able
One more question: I had several time problems with the game, cause it said the whole time "You can't save now" with Quicksave and with normal save it did just nothing?

If you board that frigate and try to capture it the game WILL fail. You MUST sink it. 
after I installed a new game and deleted all profiles from the old install.. yesterday all wokred fine, I captured 100s of ships, when they surrendered, the captain were always there and today I hoisted the flag after several trade-missions.. shooted a couple of times at the indiaman, they surrendered and when I boarded the ship there was no captain again -.- tried it several times, also i tried to delete the options file but it changed nothing. The Error is still only in Tales of a Sea Hawk, in all other storylines captains are always there. And if I board a ship and they don't surrender, I can see the captain fighting.
