Still CTD with large shipdecks

[KillPhil]

Heyho..
i posted this a year ago and had some other bugs too, and so i didnt played for quite a year.. so i started the game again and the two main bugs i had are there again.. hope you can help this time

so my not-so-bad problem is that there is no captain in the main storyline when a ship surrenered. All other storylines work correctly, i jst have sometimes problems with ransoming (maybe im just too silly for that )

my actual problem is a CTD when entering the large ship-decks (as used at the Victory), I think its called "Shipdeck3" in the ships.ini ... The CTD is not always and i get the feeling that it happens more often when I'm in a port, but it happens at sea, too. Windows tells me that the error is an application crash and a DirectX8 rendering error or sth like that... I dont think that the file is corrupted, because it crashes not all the time..
Is it possible to change the deck-file with another deck? E.g. copy the deck of ships like Wicked Wench and rename it as a new deck for the large ships? I tried it but i cant find the file.

Thanks for reading & helping

Hmmm. I had a surrendered Captain not appear once as far as I can remember. Your problem is most unusual.

The ship decks can cause a CTD. The best time to go there is straight from the dock. Take care of all your business and then set sail. Going onto the ship deck while sailing has never caused a CTD for me, but as often as not there is no crew. So it is not as stable as one could hope for.

so you mean that when i travel from dock to ship should be less dangerous for a ctd then from e.g. the store?
Can't i just replace the file with another as I asked above? Because all other shipdecks dont make any troubles. Also kind of weird is, that boarding never crashes.

Well the no-captain bug is only in standard and I think it began when I made a mistake in the story.. I didnt sink this frigate and captured it instead.. The game crashed and I had to delete the profile and so on.. And I think since then there is no captain in standard-storyline.
