After having installed Build 13 did you rémove files as it should have done? Pieter says:

Installation order:
1 - Install Build 13 Final (if you haven't done so already)
2 - Remove the PROGRAM, RESOURCE\INI and RESOURCE\MODELS\Locations\decks folders
3 - Extract the Build 14 Alpha 8 Full file on top of your game
4 - Allow it to overwrite all files it wants to
5 - After completion, run RunMe.bat
6 - Start the game and reset the controls to default in the Options menu
7 - Tweak the controls and the game's settings to your liking in the Options menu
8 - Start a new game, select a storyline and ENJOY!

It's just a suggestion, otherwise you are a modder, is better that you keep out from Build14A8, this CTD for quite every action you do in the game (you talk with a quest NPG...CTD, you go to a certain island...CTD, it's raining...CTD) and if you didn't get a CTD, you remain stuck in some situation (see boarding).
It's my opinion, but this version should be play only by modder that can try to fix all these bug, for me is no time for betatester (this is an alpha not a beta version).

It's only a suggestion for avoid frustration to all of them that love this game and the great Build. But, if you are not a modder, let be you a favour: keep out from Build14A8; play with Build13 or if you can find it Build14A6.

When I board a ship and kill everybody on the first deck,the character icon remains red "in danger" and the remaining members of my crew keep their swords for fight. I can't continue and after I pass over a certain place on the deck message about some demons from hell appears and I die from an invisible enemy ?! Is there smth I can do ?
 
No.
Dont board ships below level 4, except if they surrender to you first. They all have this problem. The enemies are invisible and stuck in the mast.
 
Also, add russian accent to this message in order to achieve the cold tone of my voice, making your own stupidity run down your back like an unpleasent chill...

"The key can be found on the buttom of the ocean. You can jump overboard, open your eyes when you are in the options section and look for it. When you find it, come back and tell me where it is, it is really hard to find..."
 
are you sure that that key is in the controls list? it's C, anyway. you need basic ship defence to use it.
 
For your info, monsieurs, there's no description or smth of the kind to read about dealing with fires. Unlike in the previous versions which I didn't play. And the ammount of buttons added to the controls a new is big,noone can expect it be there.

By the way the game is enjoyable now.

p.s. I am bulgarian. And don't insult the russians. it happens to be their game that we are playing.
 
Alright. I wont insult the Russians anymore <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

And nice to see you sorted it out, mate <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Just for clarity's sake, a CTD is when you are playing the game and suddenly you're look at your desktop.
The game has then completely closed itself without warning.
Usually there's a Windows error message that accompanies it.
Bugs are anything that is not correct. A CTD is one of the worst kinds of bugs, because it postively kills play.
I've never had the game crash the whole computer; I'd always manage to get back into Windows.

The C-key for putting out fires should be listed in the controls list in the buildinfo subfolder.
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> Mates,

I would just ask what is the situation of Build14A8:
The original version was just unplayble for me (CTD, black screan, boarding stuck, ecc).
I just wonder if someone have fix most of these problem, and now there is available a playable version.

bye, bye,
giuliotto
 
I heard a rumour that Pirate_KK uploaded some new stuff, that contains more features, but apparently is less stable still.
Maximus said he had some fixes many months ago, but never did put them online.
In other words, we're in a bit of a tight spot here. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
Sorry guys i have a big problem!! I've followed all your steps to install build 14 alpha 8 but as soon as i get redmond (at the beginning of the standard storyline)instead of leave me anchoring the screen becomes black and back to desktop with an error message with nothing specify on it!! I can't understand what could be!! I reinstalled it twice but nothing the problem still comes out!! Any help please??
 
Hey! (I'm new to the forums <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />)

Well i've been lurking for a while and haven't really thought about signing up... Just to say: What an improvement over the original POTC! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I do just want to ask one question, When you set the auto skill system to off, I remeber in B13 and in the original you get this kind of set up...

(Sorry if it seems vague)

>> 1 1

Obv' the arrow's representing to increase the skill in the character screen,

However now i get this: 1 - 1
and there is no arrows?

Please tell me if this has been disabled or something worse is at hand!

(I am using Build 14, Alpha 8.)

Thanks,
Matt.
 
In the auto skill system, you cannot actually increase your skills with points anymore.
You need to gain experience in that specific area by doing it.

The fix should be somewhere around.
If you can't find it, PM a simple virtual sailor.
He found the fix. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
Uh, when you find that Redmond fix, could you post a link here? Thanks much.

I know what causes the actual crash. The Redmond fort commander has no index attribute, and the game crashes in UpdateRelations. I made a kludge to add the index in the console, but it would be very nice to find the original problem and fix it.

I found it again. See <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?s=&showtopic=12209&view=findpost&p=282241" target="_blank">here</a>. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
