I'm playing Build 14 Beta 2.1 full & Beta 2.2 light. After some hours I noticed that there would have been something called "Main Quest"
. I missed it and wanted to know why. I read somewhere one has to do exactly what Malcolm says, in that order. Well, I had made the decision not to buy a new spyglass at the point he told me but later, but got a "done" in my questbook anyway. So was the order the problem (which would have been a funny joke indeed)? Wanted to know that, so I took my very first save before walking around with Malcolm (I save them somewhere else just for cases like this), and did EXACTELY what he told me, twice, but never ever saw the "video" that shows the French attack at Speightstown, this attack never happened. So?
I have no idea why that quest didn't work at all for me, but I think it would be a good idea to give a new player a hint in the quest book anyway: Walking around with Malcolm is not just a how-to-do-things but already part of a quest, the Main Quest. A new player should not be forced to read a walkthrough even before playing a FEW MINUTES.
The worst bug I saw until now is a promotion officer bug. Both with the english and the portuguese I had that one.
At some point of promotion (don't know what rank anymore) you get an ship and an officer as reward. I read one has to leave a slot open for the new ship, otherwise it causes trouble. Indeed it does, but that's not all. The worst are the officers themselves: They are bugged fuckers. The english one once I wanted to escort me in the jungle, later I noticed he was still captain of one of my ships, so he remained in the passengers list though he was no passenger anymore. Later he appeared in my passengers list TWICE. And once you have taken up that bug, it's GAME OVER, crashes crashes crashes. tried different things, but had to delete all saves and go back to a point where everything was fine, experimented a bit and finally got rid of him. With my portuguese "reward officer" it's different, but evil as well. When I do something with him, game messes up immediately. Can't get rid of that guy at all, if I put him in one of my escort slots, he does simply not appear as an escort at all
, nice officer, so he can't be shot either, he just remains in my passengers list and I will never ever touch him again.
By the way, one of the promotion ships I got seemed to be bugged as well (though it could be a ship berthing problem in Eleuthera as well): Relaunched the ship, but it was not an Escort ship anymore but an English Galleon.. So got rid of that piece of junk as well.
I think the whole promotion ships and officers stuff is severly bugged and probably should be deleted for the next version of the game.
