Not resolved, IMHO.
Is frequent, and typical of the game, with other bugs.
Reload the last good save and overwrite the bad save, to delete.
 
Yeah. Really, your best option is to just save often and before and after you do... just about anything. CTD have been a problem at the very least in both Age of Pirates games, and to be honest I'm convinced it's a flaw in Storm (the engine that Akella's pirate games are all based on). Happens to me most commonly during or immediately after autosaves (boarding, etc), though it also seems to crash as a direct consequence of looting, or, on occasion, if a non-ambient sound (pistol/cannon fire, ship-ship collision, etc) is played. It's just something you'll learn to live with. I keep a backlog of about 15 saves, and looking at them, they're (on average) 5-7 minutes apart :shrug
 
This has happend to me on occassion too, like previous posts said, best thing to do is save offten and keep a backup or two handy.
 
Yep backuips are very important, when i visit a town i will save as soon as i leave my ship, then i will save before going back out to sea. So i have 2 save files there, if i am going to enter a battle i will save before entering it (thats more of habit from testing though) then if the game crashes before loading the battle i can reload my game and try again if it keeps doing it i know that its something wrong with a ship or ships in that battle so i can then go abouyt fixing them. On average i have about 5 save files and i back them up every night before going to sleep.
 
Yes i startet new game and saving allot now, the issue is overwrite saving i quess!

Reporting bugs to Akella/Playlogic won't achieve anything. There has never been an official patch for CoAS, and there never will be. The good people here do, however, fix whatever they can when they can. With the source code in our hands, it's entirely possible that someday someone will hunt down and fix whatever causes the CTD, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. For now, we just have to be content with saving often and dealing with the occasional critical failure or fatal exception :rolleyes:
 
Up until yesterday I never understood what this thread was talking about. I used to save often because the game would put me in situations I could not fight or flee my way out of. The game rarely crashed.

But yesterday I finally got a new monitor. One of those widescreen LCD types. Previously it was a 17 inch CRT type boat anchor. Since then the game crashes after about 10 to 20 minutes of play. The upside is that the characters are a bit wider. The female characters actually resemble real body types, not the sickly thin, stick women you see in the fashion world. Now if someone could fix the way the female characters run. They appear to have their knees tied together. xD:

Still enjoying the game.
Greg.
