First of all, why can't I see more posts in the SMP forums? Are there really this few?
Anyway.. Hi all, I haven't been around in a while.Got distracted by other games and put PotC down for a while. I put it back in the other day and... man! was I lost. Oiy...
Anyway, I finally picked up a copy of Sid's "new" game and have a few questions I hope someone can answer.
My main one is:
How do I get the game to let me find the buried treasure?!?!? I have the map completed for Jack Rackham's treasure. I've found it near Trinidad in a little cove near Knife Shallows and Blood Marsh. There's even a little "buried treasure landmark" in the cove just south of a monestary. But any time I try to get close to it, it asks me if I want to debark and search, I do...and it tells me I find nothing. So I try and try and try and try and try again to get closer to it, but it won't let me. Meanwhile... weeks and months are just flying by! Luckily I have saved the game immediately before i start searching there. I even tried to go out, commandeer a smaller ship, a sloop (it may have been a pinace, can't remember, it was last night), to see if it can get close enough. But no.. I can't.
Again.. this is the Xbox version. Anyone have any ideas on this. Is it a known bug?
Also.. in the Genesis version of this game, When you went ashore.. you actually had a little icon of your shipmates you could move around on the land. Is that not in this? Why does it only give the option to land and say I find nothing? Shouldn't it let me get out and walk to the treasure?
Anyway.. getting a little frustrated with this, because until I can pick this up, I won't get another pirate treasure quest. I mean, I'm already a Spanish Duke and haven't pick up my first treasure chest yet. I'm even #5 pirate already. Some pirate I am.. can't even get the treasure chest. Oiy...
Anyway.. good to be back. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanx in advance!
