Game crashes leaving Oxbay with Deniel

Avast! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> I'm new and I've just recently started playing POTC. I'm having game crashes at a certain place that's making it impossible to continue. I don't know if this is caused by the Build because I haven't played POTC without it, but just in case.... It happens just when I've met Deniel for the second time by the lighthouse on Oxbay Island, and when I set out to Douwensen in arcade mode my game crashes to desktop. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> I've tried going back to earlier saves and playing up to that same part and it happens anyway. Can someone help me out? Thanks.
 
Could you please show an <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net/index.php?showtopic=5424" target="_blank">error.log</a> file generated after the crash? Maybe that will explain what's wrong.

I made the changes to the engine.ini, but after playing and crashing again I didn't find anything called "error.log" in my POTC directory. I did find a file called "compile.log". Here it is:

In that case, things get a bit weird. There seems to be no obvious reason for this crash. Are you sure you turned on error logging properly? Try this: Start tools\PotCModHelper.exe, then turn error logging on with that program. Then go and cause this crash again and if there is an error.log file now. If there isn't, I don't know what else to do. It's almost impossible to fix a bug if you don't know the cause... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Okay, I just ran it with Potcmodhelper. It already had the Debug Mode checked--I assume that's what you meant. I still can't find anything called "error.log". But there's something under the "Report" tab of Potcmodhelper. Here's the report:

I also have a new file called PotcModHelper.log in my tools directory. I hope the right information is in there somewhere:
