    How do I turn off the PM function?

    Every other forum I'm a member of, there's an option usually that says... "Allow Private Messages" Yes/No I can't see it in my Profile, is it somewhere else?

    Are Site owners/Beta testers still in touch with the Dev's?

    If so, is there any word on a patch release? I'm asking with regards to the FSAA/Flickering Intro' Video's with ATi cards, as I know plenty of people who cannot solve this one. I'm not asking for a time scale here, just acknowledgement that a patch is being planned. I feel that this would...

    ATi flickering videos with FSAA, solved on my machine.

    Temporary fix for ATi Radeon users

    I've already posted this in the tech forum, but for people new to the site, I'll repost it here. (Admin, please feel free to move/delete as you wish). <b>Try using Radlinker to lower your Core and Memory speeds. This has stopped the crashing for me. I noticed that everytime there was a...

    What do you think of the alternative music you get with LE?

    I quite like it, the guitar music was a nice change and it's grown on me now. Do you like it or prefer the stock standard music?

    Open Ended games are great

    One of the things I really enjoy in Pirates! are not the various quests, but the fact that I can conquer the Caribbean on behalf of his majesty the King (yes I sail for England). I'm playing on Adventurer and have spent most of my time conquering Florida Keys, La Habana (is that the right name...

    Any official word on the FSAA video bug?

    ...with ATi cards, dunno if it affects Nvidia? It's either play Pirates! with it looking crappy with jaggie shimmering graphics, or good graphic image with FSAA but messed up videos. I've emailed Atari with no reply, scoured the net but cannot find any official word, I did find lots of posts...

    I just bought the Limited Edition from the shop - Wahoo :)

    Seeing as I'm not teaching until this afternoon, I thought I'd go into work late. As I was passing Game Ltd, I suddenly remembered that it's Friday the 3rd, and that means that it's UK Pirates! day <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif"...

    Everytime I draw my Sword, I side-'hop' to the right?

    I can't even remap the draw sword key as it carries the side-'hop' along with it? Btw, the sword never does get activated. Any ideas?

    Build12 installer keeps saying it cannot find a copy of PotC

    Build12 installer keeps saying it cannot find a copy of PotC instslled, please check that it installed and works (or words to that effect). I've checked that it's installed and that it works. Does the installer assume that it's installed in a default location? My PotC path is... "E:Pirates...

    A pinnacle for todays breed of pirate games. re Pirates foru

    In view of the "Can it top POTC?" thread, why does the Pirates forum say "A pinnacle for todays breed of pirate games" when in the "Can it top POTC? thread" many say it's not the pinnacle (well not in those exact words it doesn't say that, more implied that it isn't the pinnacle). Just curious...

    Will I have to restart with Build 11.99 ?

    Or can I carry on with my present game that uses `build-11` and 'upgrade' to Build 11.99 ?

    Side step while sword fighting?

    In one of the reviews it says something about fighting forwards and backwards along the deck... no mention of side stepping. Can side stepping be done or is it more Pirates of the Caribbean fighting with just forward/backward movements? (I hope not).

    Will there be a Wind Patch for Pirates?

    Lol bear with me... I know the game isn't out yet, but reading between the lines on all net based posts regarding wind in Pirates, it appears that wind is there and it has such an effect that it may make a candle flame flicker but that's about it, i.e. it's as useful as an ashtray on a...

    Attacked Greenford Fort last night - pear shaped result

    I forgot to drop Danny off at the lighthouse. Attacked the Fort, then went into Greenford, all was quiet. Dropped Danny off at the Lighthouse and went back to Greenford, a small scrap took place. However Danny is now in the Tavern and just stands there, I think she's supposed to tell me...

    Any ingame music mods out there?

    In particular, any music mods for when you're on land? The stock music, apart from being annoying, is also slightly cheesey. To me it sounds out of place, too modern, not in character with the time period. The sailing music is fine, it's just that bass guitar/flute combo on land muzac that...

    What's your poison - Employment, Trading or Piracy?

    What's your favourite method of making money and why? 1) Employment - Doing jobs for people. 2) Trading - Importing/Exporting. 3) Piracy - Capturing Ships and Cargo. My choice is number 3 for the following reasons: Gameplay is great. Option to increase my squadron size. Money made. I...
