I had been using that sep10 update as well, apparantly it is buggy - Pieter recomended to me that i use(i'll list it all in full to be sure):

1.PotC - of course <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
2.Build 12.1(full)
3.Prebuild13(base)
4.and the new Beta3 linked below in Pieters post.

So none of the update files if i understood him well. I'll look around and see if i can find the link to the thread in which you can get Beta3 - hold on a mo <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

his post below links to it. Then just put it ontop of the other Betas - still not sure if it fixes that hanging over the sea problem? Something you should be aware of is Pieter was waiting for the new code that handles nation relations - its not in the beta3 release, so all sides are neutral and difficult/impossible? to make war on!!!!! Still the fantastic new ship skins/models are in it, and also many of the beta(2) bugs have been sorted.

things like Officers not equiping pistols, builings jumping around and dancing like they were posessed by the devil witha bottle o rum, various CTDs - all manner of things. Still if you dont mind a peaceful game - then beta(3) is the best build so far - but still in need of some fixing for sure.

EDIT: much of the beta3 info above is now solved - nation relations is working again in the latest beta3 in Pieter's sig <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

The Beta 2 version indeed contained that bug. It should be solved in Beta 3, which I released earlier today. Get it <a href="http://www.s31clan.com/pietersmods/b13_beta3.zip" target="_blank">here</a>. The file is not yet available from my site, because I had no time to add it yet. At the moment the file finished uploading, I posted it on the forum in the Pre Build 13 thread and I had to leave in a hurry afterwards because I had to catch the train to school. I am still at school, but I will add the file to my site tomorrow. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

The 10 September mod is an old version that was also bugged and should not be used. I will remove it from my site tomorrow.

Above text applies to the temporary Work In Progress version of Beta 3. However, the REAL Beta 3 has been released earlier today. It's now available from the link in my signature and I will add it to my site tomorrow. The nation relation issue has been sorted in there and I reckon Beta 3 should be working pretty well. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

excellent news Pieter, i'm getting it right this second <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

Does this mean you still recomend the install process i listed above(if doing it from scratch), with beta1+2 - or can you just use pre-build13(base)+this new Beta(3) by itself?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Installation process:
1) Build 12.1
2) Pre Build 13 Base
3) Build 13 Beta 3

You don't need to install any updates inbetween, so the installing process is much easier. It doesn't hurt to have previous updates installed though; Beta 3 will overwrite all nescessary files. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
