game crashing

[bloomstomb]

HI guys. I just installed build 14, I cant get it to work.

I followed all the installation instructions.

I selected end improved graphics and switshader 2.0.

I have windows vista 64 bit system. Its a pretty beefy system.

My system specs are, q9650, 780i triple sli (not using tri sli). 3x gtx 280 graphic cards , 8 gigs ocz gaming ram .


The game loads up fine, but when I go to start a new game , I selected captain hawk, new horizons , it starts loading it, then it crashes.. I get option to close program or search for a solution online.

Anyone have any idea off the top of their head what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance.





EDIT:
I was able to start one of the scenarios (forget the name), but its extremely choppy. So Im reinstalling the mod without any of the other options.

Hopefully that was the problem.

Installing without any of the other options is a very good idea.
The descriptions for SwiftShader and ENB were swapped by accident which can cause serious confusion.
Especially considering you really DON'T want to install SwiftShader unless you have to,
eg. have an Intel Onboard Graphics Card and the game won't run without using SwiftShader's software rendering.

You can try to install ENB, but I recommend you use the seperate download of it from our ModDB Profile:
http://www.moddb.com/mods/new-horizons/downloads/enb-improved-graphics
That one has been redone to contain a deinstaller batch file, which will help if you find the framerate too low.

Allright thanks.

I got it working , reinstalled everything from scratch. Running just fine now.

Cant wait to sail the open seas!!!

With that rig you should be able to run this game with all graphics settings maxed.

Hint: In your nvidia control panel, manage 3d settings, program settings PotC is listed as Cossacks II. Dunno why, but it works. :j2
