build 14A7 - crashing from world map to 3rd sailing

runtimelog = 1
^ I set engine.ini to this..but no there's no error.log ..is it incorrect?

The issue wasn't with black pearl it seems, this time around it happened when traveling from oxbay to falaise de fleur and going from World map into 3rd person sail mode. In previous plays the black pearl showed up several times, right before the crash, that's all.. even if it doesnt, It consistently crashes in this area..

thanks for any help <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
hey, the first sign of the publicity campaign actually working! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> well, if it would be a crash on the worldmap itself or a crash going from on island to another, i would be able to help, but i haven't seen this happen before. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> but on the other hand, i'm not very familiar with coding.
 
If there is no error.log, the game doesn't understand what the problem is. The crash proves there IS a problem though. Perhaps this is one of those random 3D sailing mode crashes that we have, so far, been unable to pinpoint. I hate those kind of bugs. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
cheer up, you guys found it last time as well! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
ah well..thanks for taking a look anyway. A shame because I was really REALLY becoming obsessive about this game. Maybe a future build will fix it miraculously <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" />!

Keep up the good modding! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":drunk" border="0" alt="buds.gif" />
 
well, i've started playing the stock PotC again, and one thing i immediatly noticed was the complete absence of crashes. three hours of gameplay without a single crash!

maybe i'll download the mods later, but i'm kinda enjoying this crashless play.
 
I think as far as stable mods are concerned, Build 12.1 is still the very best. I think that version is just as stable crashwise as the original game and much more better. Definitly recommended. Then Build 13 is still pretty solid and the Build 14 Alpha versions vary rather greatly. Hopefully the final Build 14 will be as awesome as it deserves to be though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
You can find it both on <a href="http://www.s31clan.com/privateftps/pietersmods" target="_blank">my site</a> (bottom of the Build 13 Downloads page) and on the <a href="http://mods.moddb.com/9269/potc-build-mod" target="_blank">ModDB Profile</a>.
 
I got a such crash to, with 3D sailing and from the same starting point also via world map.
Easy solution was to enter first another island.
 
i'll download build 12.1 soon then. as for my observations from playing the stock game, i've learnt something important:

what struck me is how incredibly difficult boarding was. in the build, you can board any ship you like, WITH any ship you like. in the stock game, it's absolutely suicidal to board a corvette with a sloop. this is mainly because there are way fewer boarders, which means there isn't an entire meat-shield called crew to protect you from all those nasty sharp things. having a massive battle on the ship's deck, is fun, but it makes the game for more unbalanced. in the stock game, the only really safe boarding fight was fighting a ship but one rank higher than you (without using grapeshot, of course).

another thing is a matter already discussed earlier: the money. i've got a corvette now, but my funds never rose that much above 80000, and it can drop down to 15000 as quickly as that. you're never really bulking with cash.
 
What happens in the Build when you increase the difficulty level? Doesn't the game become more similar to what you describe from the stock game? It is true I remember the stock game to be harder than the Build on lowest difficulty mode as well. I only ever played on the lowest difficulty though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
i'll give a shot at a higher difficulty. i haven't really tried it that often though, as i like having an easy time. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" /> meanwhile, i'm downloading build 12.1 right now. although i will probably finish the stock game once before trying it out.
