Hello everyone!
First of all, I know that this problem has been discussed before, but there is something that came to my mind while going through the latest pages of COAS Mods threads. Just to be clear - I'm talking about the crashes in the later stage of the game when big ships start to appear on the battlefields.
What I have noticed is that the problem probably doesn't concern everyone. There are threads with people describing different problems (not related to that one), and some of them are probably at much later stage of the game than I am, and somehow they manage to play. My question is, how?
I'm totally newbie if it comes to modding and all that stuff, so maybe I'm wrong, but is there any chance that replacing ship.dll file from someone without that problem could fix it? I know it sounds weird, but I read before about people downloading and installing the game multiple times to get rid of some bugs, so..
Anyway, like I said in the 'Mod release' thread.. the GoF! mod is simpy amazing and I know that all of the modders have put a lot of hard work into it, so it would be such a shame not to be able to play it (I mean, playing without battles would be.. uh..)
PS I'm downloading GoF 1.1 now, can someone tell me if that bug appears there? I also tried PotC New Horizons, but.. either it's very buggy (walking through walls etc.) or I downloaded some broken version (my CD is almost 9 years old and it's 'working' time has gone long ago..)
Cheers!
