hi,
new to forums: reading about next patch got excited, however, i did not find any reference to the problems i am experiencing with this build, so, maybe, these are just related to me......
had some crash and freezes, accordingly to the system.log the game tried to load a bunch of texture from the wrong folder:
1) the game is looking in the texture\ammo folder for tga or bmp files which are located in the main texture folder.
i know, i should be more specific, but guess what: i copied the files from one folder to the other and kept playing, erasing this way the system.log.....sorry.
some files cannot be found anywhere, they just do not exist.
2) had a crash in Charleston cave, game was trying to load a sound file named HORROR, no such file exist in my installation.
3) when you start a new game, if you do not choose a Nation (vanilla ones) you are stuck with "merchant" profession, all other options are greyed out.
4) if i choose Britain as nation (`till now i have only chosen this, Hawk storyline), while playing in game, when noticing someone stealing money from you, if i`m given the option to keep extra jewels or other "shining" loot, no penalty is applied......if i play selecting any nation but my personal flag at the beginning, i get a -5 penalty in my relations with NPCs doing this.
5) bought a pinnace of war, 3th class, if you fast travel from main gun deck to cargo hold, you end up in the middle of the....ocean: i mean there`s only water around me. Fast-traveling from main deck or just walking directly there have no consequence.
6) when exploring the dungeon in Oxbay, i ended up in a cursed temple where monks are hiding...some bad secrets: i started to purge this place and noticed that if you do not move your main character well inside the structure...the monks keep respawning endlessly.
i tried, lurking in the shadows, to lure them away from each other, one by one, but they kept spawning, so after 30 kills i finally chased them all over the place putting an end to this madness.
7) oiseau quest bugged: got a letter of marque from governor in port royale and playing with direct sail: when leaving martinique, after the first sail ho, the french ship fires at will, but on my radar it`s still neutral, so i manually sink her (pressing spacebar have no effect), loosing my LoM.
as workaround i do the following: sail off martinique, at least `till the fort cannons do not reach me anymore, raise english flag, sink manually the french ship (which is still green at this point).
questbook updates, Letter Of Marque stays.
