I don't remember anyone coming up with a proper solution yet to force the game to run from the non-Intel card.
 
Hey all!

I just wanted to say how happy I am to come back after a long absence and see this community as active as ever. I got the bug to check in on this project after watching the Hornblower miniseries again. I do love the age of sail, and I'm looking forward to playing the latest release.

Cheers!
 
Presumably you'll be playing the "Hornblower" storyline, then. :napoleon If so, make sure you also install the fix archive. There's a bug in the base 7th January installation which will cause the game to hang at a particular scene - someone else already got caught out by that one recently. That bug is one of many which are fixed by the archive.
 
Cheers Gents,

a short question.

I am puzzled about what the difference is between my Build 14 Beta 4.1 from september 23rd 2016, and the Beta 4.1 in the first post of this thread.

I understand, some of the not so well working features have been switched off?

In the build I play, there was a modification about the wind blowing more steadily from roughly eastern directions, is this still active?

Great thanks,
Skyworm
 
A lot of things in the 23rd September version didn't work well, even after attempted patches throughout October. The current version is therefore based on the 28th July version with numerous bug-fixes and without all the mods of the 23rd September version.

The mod to have the wind blowing from the east is not included.
 
When I try to install the build, I get an error message:
'Main files archive file not present. Place b14_beta4_final.tar in this folder to continue '
But the .tar file is already in the folder.
Possible causes?

There are only two possible causes: Either the file isn't in the same folder as the Installer EXE or the filename does not match exactly.
 
Just curios, are there any plans for another update?
@Grey Roger keeps updating the ZIP archive around once a month or so.
He's currently finishing up his Ardent storyline, so you can expect a new one fairly soon.

As for proper official EXE and/or ModDB updates, that's a different story.
I've been swamped with pretty much everything at the same time and I don't see that really quieting down any time soon.
What I'd need is some serious time for PotC (at least a full weekend), but I try to avoid being at home during the weekends because of excessive noise here.
Additionally, I barely use my computer anymore because it just refuses to behave itself.

I'd like to make a proper new update some time and I reckon it would be a very good thing to get a replacement for Beta 4.0 onto ModDB.
But I don't see that happening for the time being... :(
 
Hello Guys! I can't bring my officers to boarding, even if I put them in to the passengers. It is an issue since last year October. Can you fix it somehow? Now I used the newest update, and fix.
 
That sounds as though you have the now obsolete version which was in circulation last October. That version had several problems, indeed including the failure of officers to join you in boarding.

If I understand the last part of your post correctly, you have now installed the newest version. This was created by starting from a version of Build 14 before all the problems began, then adding a collection of bug-fixes and safe updates, so none of the problems of the October version should be present in the current install.
 
Yeah, it looks like I've confused myself. Two more thing: Is there any way to buy a Woods Rogers costume? Can I change in the free play game the costume of my personal army/crew? (you know that discount D’Artagnan costume)? Sorry for bother you with my petty problems. I'm also waiting for the new release! And thanks Roger!
 
I think @Jack Rackham didn't set up the Woodes Rogers model to be available.
But through console, you can still get it.

There is some boarder model customisation code (see PROGRAM\InternalSettings.h), but it is super messy, needs to be rewritten but there is nobody around to actually clean it up.
Still, it exists and you can make use of it.

For shore crew members, just talk to them.
