Fred Bob Quest Problem

[Blind_Pew]

Hi all

I bought POTC a few months back, found this forum (which is great by the way, and the mods really make this game), and installed build 11. Since then I have been busy finishing the main quests, etc. I have recently installed the Fred Bob quest but keep running into problems.

When I go to FDF to see Orable (can't remember last name) the game crashes when he starts to tell me about Fred Bob. Clicking on the conversation choices does not move me onto the next conversation item and I am sort of stuck in limbo since you can't exit a conversation half way through.

Has anyone had this problem before or know what is causing it? BTW I am at war with France so have to land at Octopus bay and travel cross country to FDF port - could this be part of the problem?

Incidentally, I am trying to play as Jack Aubrey in his ship the Sophie. I guess the brig is the closest ship to this, although the books describe her as a 'brig rigged sloop'. Did I get this wrong - would it be more appropriate to choose the sloop?

Thanks for your help.

Did you start a new game after installing the Fred Bob quest? If you didn't, that's your problem--the FBQ requires a restart (ie. new game) in order to work properly.

i think someone should definitely solve that before build 12, though, since we know how now. what? oh, it's <i>me</i> that said i'd do that? well, ehhhh, of course i'm working on it! *dash*

Yes, starting a new game is required after you install the FBQ, unless you have the fix Kieron is working on! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whippa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="whippa.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
