Solved Bad save (Both vanilla and New Horizons mod)

piratesjunkie.... How can I thank you!!!! It worked it worked!!!!!!!! :D Now I'll install the mod and enjoy the game :aar :ship:bird:

I will need to defrag the HD this night though... All the Pirate game's mods and installs and unnistalls made my disk go from 1% to 20% fragmentation xD
 
You managed to get PotC working at long last? YESSSSS!!!!!
:ship

Which step exactly is it that worked? We're going to need that to our FAQ!
 
Well, I had to look up what AVG was and wasn't sure if I found the right thing.

So I added this to the FAQ:
The game tends not to work if:
- You use the AVG Free Antivirus software [solution: fix its settings!]
Click to expand...
Is that fair enough? Anything more to add?
 
I wouldn't say (fix its settings), sounds complicated and doesn't focuses on the point... Say to just disable AVG protection, or add a way of enabling the game through the Anti-virus.
 
Have you found a way to enable the game through AVG? Or did you have to disable it altogether?
 
I tried to find a way but...All the tutorials show that it uses the AVG's firewall, yet, I have the basic protection, which doesn't includes firewall... :shrug

So my guess is, disable AVG for the game to save properly.
 
But... I use AVG (latest free version) on Windows 8 and nine times out of ten, I can save the game just fine. o_O
 
BU**SH**!! :rumgone


I have been using AVG free for years with no problems. I have never touched anything and I have NO problems.
 
@ Pieter
i was only joking, of course people are creating their own problems sometimes but not ONLY. I just meant that without computers the problems in life might not be enough and we might have to create some more ourselfes. Anyway ;)

@ Oneironz
i´m using McAfee AntiVirus Plus since many years and it didn´t disturb my games and my performance at all. It is an AIO Product with Antivirus, Antispyware and Firewall included. If you like you could try that one out. I always order it every year from AMAZON for a cheap price:

Just a friendly recommendation from a Pirate :pflag
 
I use McAfee too and it likes to drive me nuts. Installs updates without me telling it to, then reboots in the middle of a movie I'm watching.
Then when it goes on its periodic virus scan, my computer becomes dead slow. :facepalm
 
@HyliePistoff
It isn't bullshit, my Avg runs on stock settings but somehow it messed up with this particular game for no aparent reason.

@piratesjunkie
Thanks for the tip, I'll stick with the free Avg though, I just need to disable temporarly, no big deal :)
 
@ Pieter
This is all just a matter of correct Configuration. If you want my support in this, i could send you screenshots of mine as an eMail attachment zipped with WINRAR or any other way you would like. Just let me know :doff
 
And loool Pieter :p just disable any scheduled tests and run an anti-virus/malware scan during the night, it should have an option to shut the pc down after the check.

Or talk with piratesjunkie, he's the master on McAfee :-D
