Build 14 Alpha 8

I just continued to play. It cost me 13000 gold to raise the morale from "low" to "poor" ! I am in the beginning of the game and have a schoner even though my capitain rank is lower. 112 crew members - 13500 gold to raise the morale to "poor" ! Incredible ! Of course I had total some 20000 gold and they are almost gone. If I don't pay they mutiny and the game stucks.
 
So, you just have to do as I said in the pévious post. It works fine and take you only one minute!
 
If we have small (read: limited) amounts of code, that we think might be causing bugs, please mention these.
I know a programmer, who mightl have a look at it.
 
The game loads TOO slow - it takes it at least 1 or 2 minutes to load. When I enter some of the menus (eg: inventory or etc) with every change of my position the game crashes for a second. That happens and when I enter actions menu and switch between fast travel and the other options. Build 13 uesed to be like this but when update 3 came everything was fine. Can you fix this here?

btw: For the loading: my PC has 2 gb DDR2 and 2 Cores with 2ghz each <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> So i don't think that the slow loading is up to me <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

btw2: great work <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> when can we expect the release of the final build?
 
btw3: Jack sparrow quest has problem with actions menu - it gives me all the options even there is no ocasion for this. I can't enter town because it don't allow me to open the door - the icon doesn't appear. And when I talk to someone the character image appears on the top of the text and it isn't readable <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
I presume you´re playing Build14Alpha8?

Alpha versions are unstable and only meant for testing purposes. Thats why they´re called "alpha" <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
You were told this, before you dowloaded the build. But alright, then:

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->The game loads TOO slow - it takes it at least 1 or 2 minutes to load.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That is normal. The game compiles the code in all the folders every time you start a new game. That´s how the game is designed.

What do you mean by "the game crashes for a second"? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
If the game <b>crashes</b>, it will crash windows as well, and you´ll have to restart your machine (not happening often, most likely hardware-related)
A <b>CTD</b>(crash to desktop) mean, the game stops working and ctrl-alt-delete is your only option (happens often with B14A8)
A <b>Black Screen</b> means you still can hear sounds and walk, but the screen goes black and you can´t see what you´re doing (not happening often).
<b>Bugs</b> are errors, that doesnt stop the game but will cause you problems playing the game.

End of today´s lesson. The bugs you mention, are already reported by others in this thread, if you cared to read it through.
Build 13 Final includes Build 13 and update 3 and is even more stable than update 3.
 
I'll give another example for "crash" - I mean the game "stops" for a second - it "freezes". I can't give you other explanation. eg: I'm looking at store items and when I switch between them just for take a look the game "freezes" - the switching is slow
 
I am looking forward to a fix for the mutinies. The proposed above correction is unsufficient to prevent them and if they happen anyway they are always bugged. I would rather have them completely out but even a working mutiny will do.
 
oh, you're talking about lag. that's got nothing to do with crashes. try checking if you have the file 'memory.c' in your PotC directory and remove it if you do. i did notice a bit of lag in the menus, but not really anything significant.
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> Freaker, for mémory I can't answer now but I'd like to know if you press "F12" before mutiny, cause in this case that's right the game has a bug.
 
the game skips all ingame movies... eg: the movie after first time I left Oxbay didn't play <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
 
I'm very tired! I forgot to précise the question was to Priatnia! Freaker, for movie I don't think it's very important, is it?
 
yeah, that's the file you should have removed. any lag you'll have now is normal. as for the movies, i've had something like that once. no idea what causes it, but sometimes they do play. it seems kinda random.
 
I guess it will be fixed in future <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> But what's the function of memory.mp anyway?
 
oh, it was a file that akella used to make backup logs of things happening in the game. only good for testing the game and nothing else. it creates loads of lag and is utterly useless to regular users.
 
Philippe I don't press F12 and the mutinies happen after the change that you said as often as before. Here is how I am stuck in ONE with the crew in a mutiny and noone can hurt the other:

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rofl" border="0" alt="24.gif" /> those guys sure got themselves into a pickle this time! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> that's the most awesome glitch EVER. well, maybe not better than my instant manowar cheat.
 
On top of it they don't stop repeating "and now you die,die ,die.." <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
