    Surrender problem.

    Hi all, playing GOF ERAS 2.1.5.7. Enemy surrenders, I board(Grapple icon), loot and can`t leave in any way. No matter what possible button I press, no option to swap ship nor leave it. Tried killing the enemy captain, still the same. Dismissed an officer before boarding, can`t take ship. Have...

    Solved Escort Merchant quest.

    Hi all, what is needed to successfully finish the "escort to and back again" generic quests? I escorted "to" and talked to the merchant on his ship. He only said that he has no time to talk because he will sail soon. So we went "back" and... nothing. He`s not on his ship and can`t be found...

    Solved Can`t scroll in dialogues.

    Hi all, well it is as it says. From the start with Malcolm I can`t scroll down for lower dialogue options. Only the top one is lit and works. Meaning the game is unplayable... I tested vanilla before installing Build on top and there scrolling worked by arrows. Win XP SP3, AMD Phenom II X2...

    Solved Can`t walk, again

    Hi all, installed vanilla PoTC from Ubisoft discs. Said NO to: install DirectX and install Windows Media Player as they should already be present. WinXP Home SP3. Game starts OK but when in the tutorial I can`t walk. Tried Win 98 compatibility, no luck. Rgds, Oldtimer

    Authorization mismatch.

    Hi, after playing both CoAS and BUILD 14.9,5.1 alpha I wrote a comparison and when sending it got info that it could not be sent because of "authorization mismatch". And that the data have been saved. Now, where are they saved? I put not a little time into this and would hate if it all was in...

    TWEAKING SHIP STATS

    Hi all, I would like to tweak my ships stats in a savegame, how can I do that? And on a general note: - from what I know, tartanas shuld be faster than they are and clearly the best upwind of all ships in game. Regards, Oldtimer

    Divide plunder calculation

    Hi all, just started on 14.9,5 and signed articles as I usually do. When dividing plunder of abt 40.000 the 11 crewmen were supposed to get 85/each, the ship abt 3500 and myself also around 3000. These are not exact nos but I tested it once again with another total to divide and it did not add...

    Some suggestions

    Hi all, Re Build 14/9/1 I have the following suggestions and remarks: - still too easy to make money, even on hardest settings and articles I become stinking rich in a few voyages because of very well paid freight missions. And do not tell me to divide plunder, donate to church and so on...

    Navigating by waypoints in sailing view.

    Hi all, excuse the dumb title. Also this may have been suggested before but still: - is it possible to make a function to navigate by first setting a waypoint on world map as in Sea Dogs AFAIR and then - switch to sailing view but have your ship follow the course set on the world map? Yes...

    Nat Hawke can`t walk.

    Hi all, I`ve had this problem for some time. My build 12 runs OK on 3 computers. 2 with ATI Radeon cards, one with Nvidia. I managed once to get with much effort and reinstallations the post build 12 to work on an Radeon machine. Something happened(MOB related hung up on start up of system)...

    Enhancing the game

    Hi all, even taking into account that there are newer pirate games than POTC with even more coming, I think that POTC still has a large potential for development. Not the least because there are enthusiasts here with experience of succesfull modding of this game. So forgive me if I ramble on a...

    You survived this cowardly attack...

    Hi all, after being drawn into tavern brawls and surviving by killing off the opposition I observed some people will not talk to me anymore. Irrespectively of how long time has passed after the brawl and what rep I have. Most annoying is smugglers taking offence, because after a while your...

    Grenades.

    Hi all, can throwing distance of grenades be influenced by the player? And other similar weapons? They are swell, but a few times I got myself almost killed. I`m talking abt something like hold-down time of the pistol button. In some FPS games throw distance is determined by such means...

    Against all odds...

    Hi all, it would be interesting, IMO, to have accounts of engagements between grossly mismatched opponents. I`m a small ship man and would love to hear how small vessels by appropriate tactics beat up or gallantly lost against superior opponents. Myself I managed to take a galleon and 2 class 3...

    Small screen.

    Hi all, I have tried 3 installations on different computers of the stock POTC game, buid12 and post build12 and in all cases the game screen(window?) is much smaller then the monitor size!? Any solutions? 2 installations were XP Pro, one XP Home. Regards, Oldtimer

    Officers rep and maybe loyalty.

    Hi all, officers you hire have a rep. What effect does it have on the player? I e you have a swindler aboard, can he make trouble for you? And I have not seen their rep to change. IMO, if you make noble deeds in their presence there should be a chance for them to recognize the errors of their...
