    Engine Limitation Bad Saves

    Apparently no one pays attention to "nice" I have QC/QA as a professional background ... as long as you are not so thin-skinned as to interpret critiques as personal criticism. Just cut and pasting your guidance... not my comment... so who do you chastise? Unlike some I have a professional...

    Need Help Remove Cursed Coins

    Is anyone able to remove the "cursed coin" that shows up in the booty charms? This is the subroutine that turns everyone into skeletal zombies at night that attack all humans. It is a game ender and the only counter I have is to frequently save game anytime I open a chest. This is irritating...

    Engine Limitation Bad Saves

    I am having frequent blue screen crashes and other crashes related to play stability...maybe this will help: I suggest that anyone involved in fixing bugs play the New Horizons game of POTC to get first hand experience with the many, many frustrating incidents built into the code. You can't...

    I've seen the Hornblower listing. Sid was tricked into fronting the Atari version of the Akella game ( licensed?) and his promotions described a much better game ... closer to NH than resulted. Disney hired Bethesda Softworks to mod the Akella game into their movie connected attempt to...

    The challenge is to find ways to work-around the bogus logic scheme used to frame this trash. I enjoy a good challenge.

    His other games were not sailing ships oriented... perhaps why you liked them better? Ever heard of throwing out the baby with the bathwater? Have been searching without luck... since this is the only game in town I'm stuck with it... Kinda like MicroSoft and Win95? Besides with each update I...

    Malware is the term for any piece of software with malicious intent. Malware includes spyware, worms, viruses, and other malicious programs. Malicious software inserted into a game that destroys the intended enjoyment for no reason other than the malicious intent of the coder fits this...

    Engine Limitation Bad Saves

    Thanks for the information... I kinda thought this was what was going on and have shortened the periods between saves to overcome this limitation. I still even with the most current update to BLD14 (31 August 2017) have had system blue screen crashes and was unable to restart the game due to an...

    I have found the War Pinnace with 34# guns do a good job reducing forts as long as the wind is about 20knts or better so that a moving target is hard to hit. A fast smaller ship such as War Sloop with at least 12#s is a good diversion to keep the guns off the heavies, capture a pirate to...

    Solved Some comments on New Horizons

    You do realise this game (not a simulation, but a game) BTW...all simulations are a game... this is no different. This is no longer a Disney operation based on the juvenile marketing target for monetizing a Disney farce. Just because it was licensed by Disney from Akella and half-assed...

    Pieter, Can you guide me in installing the revised Build14_installer_31082017 I had only a few problems with the original, which resolved when I learned a few tricks to overcome the unspoken tricks. This build does not recognize the .tar file which is located in the same file... I even moved...

    For sure... the meteorology of this game in no way represents the Carib... which is A LOT DIFFERENT THAN THE NORTH ATLANTIC. A little time spent perusing the reams of weather info on the Carib would do wonders for the authenticity of the play conditions. Why, like the Med do sailors love the...

    Solved Some comments on New Horizons

    I downloaded the August update to the build 14 and as suggested cleaned out the old and did a new game install. The installer could not find the .tar file, even though it was in the same folder and was the same file that the original build 14 used to install the game. Is there a newer .tar...

    It's not a matter of "free to not play" it is a matter of this game is not playable. A good simulation written by competent coders and schemed by knowledgeable developers does not use gimmicks (childish gimmicks) since the play is the enjoyment not the Dungeons & Dragons invocation of...

    Solved Fix for Intel Graphics Card problems (Laptop NVidia users)

    I am trying to install and run bld14 on a Lenovo (Thinkpad) T61, Vista Pro OS. The install goes fine, but when I try to play I keep getting error messages about the device is not compatible. At first I was getting a duplicate Radeon 850 error. A search turned up two Radeon sea files. I...

    Mod Release Build 14 GAMMA [Last Update: 31st December 2021]

    Huzzah! for the updated game play. While not many listed fixes seem to apply to New Horizons I need to do a clean install and see how it goes. The previous beta was a bitch to play my blood pressure was elevated too much by the totally absurd BS that was in the program logic. What point to...

    Mod Release Build 14 GAMMA [Last Update: 31st December 2021]

    Has the "cursed coin" childish gimmick been removed? Are ships still firing into the cliff when attacking ports? Do storms suddenly appear without warning? Are storms still hurricanes? Do cohort ships still do stupid maneuvers into each other, cliffs, lower sails in front of forts, etc.?
