Ok so this morning, I finished the recapture of the santiago questline in the Bartolomeu story. I decided to postpond the new questline, as I wanted to do some ship combat smuggling and so forth. I went to conception, and got a letter of marque, I also upgraded my ship with what money I had available. So that the only upgrades I didnt have was flush ship (the one you can do in pirate ports), and the bronze cannons. I decided to go to the governor and get a mission. So I went to my ship, and sailed to my enemy ship (the one I was supposed to sink for the governor), (by doing sail to).
And heres the bug. My ship wouldnt move a cm. Not an inch, and it was not because of the wind. So I reloaded and still the same. Reloaded and removed all my upgrades except reinforced hull (which cant be removed). And still the same, the ship wouldnt move. I loaded a save before my governor mission, so it had nothing to do with that. When I sailed to the island my ship was fine.
So basically my upgrades have basically ruined my ship, as I cant move it at all. Only "sail to", and map sailing. The ship in question is the santiago from the bartolomeu quest. I had enough money to buy another ship, and swapped ships with my officer so that he sailed the santiago. The new ship I bought sailed perfectly fine. But the santiago, again didnt move an inch, even if not in my hands. I even remember it saying -1 and -2 knots when I tried to sail her after thew upgrades.
Anyway thought you should know. I have a hunch that it may be the copper plating upgrade, but I cant be sure, the reason why I am saying this is because Ive had a ship before that had the other upgrades but not that one, altough it might be a ship specific bug as well, I dont know.
EDIT: (Copy/paste from my post further down the page).
Ok so Ive been testing a bit and come to the following results. After aquiring the ship, i emidiatly went to the pirate port Nevis, and tested each upgrade seperatly. In other words I saved my game in front of the shipyard guy, and upgraded a upgrade went to sea to see if the ship functioned properly.
With the following results:
All these results are for the Santiago caravelle in the Bartolomeu quest. With the 14.1 beta version.
Cotton sails, - works fine no problem (these were attached upon getting the ship)
Bronze Chasers, - Works fine
Bronze Cannons, - works fine
Reinforced Hull, - The ship functions perfectly fine. BUT when sailing, the ship hp meter is completely black. Also when I boarded a vessel, and I got to the menu where you can take control of a ship, take goods and so forth, the Max HP tag showed MAX HP: 0 On my ship. I dont think the ship has less hp than usual. And neither do I know if the ship is unsinkable as a result of the black hp line. Either way its bugged.
Stays, - The ship can sail forwards, but is unable to turn, in other words bugged, atleast for the santiago.
Copper Plating, - Ship is grounded, and can neither turn nor sail forward. I.e, the upgrade is bugged at least for this ship.
Long Top Masts, - Ship is grounded, and can neither turn nor sail forward. I.e, the upgrade is bugged at least for this ship.
Flush Ship, - Upon Upgrading, the game stalls completely, music starts to stutter, and the game crashes in a matter of seconds. It crashes to deskop with the "the following program has stopped working" message ,( I tried this twice and both times with the same result).
Now I dont know how the situation is with other ships, but I am going to get into the game straight away and try a random ship from the shipyard.
EDIT 2: (Copy paste from my post further down).
Ok so I did some further testing.
I bought a Barque Lounge and tried all of the upgrades on this ship, and found some interesting results.
All the upgrades except one functioned properly.
The one that didnt work was the flush ship one. The game didnt crash upon upgrading. However when putting to sea, my ships hp bar was black. In other words the upgrade had the same effect on this ship as the Armoured hull upgrade had on the Santiago.
Since the game didnt crash with flush ship upgrade on the Barque Lounge I tried upgrading flush ship on the Santiago whilst one of my officers had her. And the game didnt crash. I went to sea, and the flush upgrade had the same effect on the santiago as on the Barque Lounge, in other words, the hp line was black.
I reloaded again, and tried again, but this time after upgrading the flush ship upgrade on the santiago (with the same procedure asd above, i.e my officer controlled her). It didnt crash now either, however when trying to upgrade the hull whilst haveing flushed ship upgrade, the game crashed, weird. After this I tried again to upgrade the santiago (whilst me controlling her), with the flush ship upgrade, but
the game crashed.

It seems that the stays upgrade prevents the Santiago from turning, found this out after upgrading the upgrades I knew (or thought it seems), were functional for the santiago.
