    Solved Need help with engine crash on windows 8

    Installing DirectX 9 from Thagarr's link did not fix the problem, so I don't think the problem is with DirectX..

    Solved Need help with engine crash on windows 8

    It's on high performance. I use the control panel to set all my games to use the Nvidia processor, but it's not working only for POTC.

    Solved Need help with engine crash on windows 8

    Well, as I said, I've already done all those :p and I quite know my way around a computer so I am sure that the game is not utilizing the Nvidia processor even after I have set it to do so in the Nvidia control panel..

    Solved Need help with engine crash on windows 8

    No error log. Yes, I have an integrated Intel card and a dedicated Nvidia card. Alright, if it runs with the intel fix, then that is the problem? Edit: The Intel fix did work. Thanks! :) Now I gotta find a better way for the game to use my Nvidia card.. Edit2: How do I uninstall the Intel fix...

    Solved Need help with engine crash on windows 8

    Really? Well I'll try to wait it out then. I don't have error.log, but here are the others. I'm quite sure that it would work using the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit, but the problem is, POTC is now missing in the supported applications of the toolkit. Edit: Waiting it out didn't...

    Solved Need help with engine crash on windows 8

    Sorry for reviving this thread. I've had POTC New Horizons installed since few years back. Now I have a new laptop with windows 8.1 and my game crashes while loading a new game. I've played this for a long time so I know the crash fixes. I have a Nvidia card so I set engine.exe to use the...

    Solved worldmap encounters

    another question. in worldmap ecounters with other fleets, why do i have the option to disengage when others attack me? and sometimes, why can i not choose to disengage? isn't it better if i always have no choice but to engage when others attack me? they were the ones who attacked, so they...

    Solved Ironman with worldmap

    Hey guys. i've always been playing with the ironman mode on, but lately i don't have much time to play so i'd rather do without the long hours of sailing without anything happening. i like all the features of the ironman mode but is there a way to keep the ironman mode activated and have the...

    Mod Release Open Sea Mod and Realism Settings

    hmm, i would like ironman mode to have all the 'cheats' and tricks disabled, like fast travel in towns. that way, it would make it a true hardcore game for the 'ironman', without any exploits and advantages. i really like the disabled spyglass info, that way you'll never now when a ship is...

    Small map/compass

    but there's already an option to start with a better compass (the battle interface) :p

    Small map/compass

    was it a "Cheap Compass"? at first, only "Cheap Compass" is available in stores. then as you progress through the game, better compass become available such as "Normal Compass" and "Enhanced Compass". you should play through the game more, and wait for better compass to show up in stores. better...

    Small map/compass

    the compass is like that until you buy a better compass from the store. i believe if you play in arcade mode, then the compass will start of as normal, otherwise it will start off like that until you buy a better one. or there are compass settings too i think, where you can set the compass...

    Solved Alt-Tabbing

    Disable Abilities

    thanks Pieter. i've tried it and it works for a new game. for existing saves, they still appear in the abilities list but i can't test if they work because i'm out of ability points.
