Can't Run Build 13 or 14

hi folks,

i tried installing build 13 to my stock game. but all i get when i load the game is dodgy looking menus (as in, the menu textures are 8x8 or something! can't read them). anyway, somehow i manage to get a game going, but the screen just stays black. what gives?

i've installed 12.1 is it? that works fine, except for a few tiny bugs.
but then i install, the 13 build, to a seperate folder, and thats where the real problems kick in. i also install the update 3, and tried 14.6, but to no avail.
could this be my graphics card? its not a great one (radeon 9250 128mb). but its only build 13+ where the game doesn't work? also...i run the runme file, which works for most files, but it says it couldn't move some or couldn't find them or something. and i have to move the engine.ini file myself.

i'm from the uk, so i guess i have the eu version. can anyone help. i'd really like to try out build 13+ because it sounds like it has some cool features! like new islands??

oh, and i have a strange bug on 12.1. when i die, the game tends to crash to the desktop, so i have to reload it as quick as possible....or....just not die <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

thanks in advance.
 
try following the instructions if you didn't. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
i doubt it's the graphics card. mine's a whole lot worse and it works. besides, the graphical requirements shouldn't have increased due to the mods. you must have done something wrong, or it was a corrupt download. you did get it from pieter's site or the modDB did you?
 
yep, got it from pieters site. maybe it was a corrupt download eh. but it doesn't bother me that much, im having a jolly good time using build 12.
yarrrrrrr.
 
well, i'd hate to torture you, but i'll do it anyway <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" /> : build 14 alpha 6 contains:

16 islands (which you know)

the ability to sail to another island without using the worldmap (thus in 3D sailing), with all kinds of random encounters along the way, including convoys, goods, mines, and dismasted ships, from a random direction.

more quests.

more ships, including the black pearl of course AND the flying dutchman.

and a whole lot more things which i can't remember cos i haven't played build 12.1 for so long.

oh! here's one: you need to buy navigational instruments to get your navigational info. until then, it would be useful for you to know that the sun is, unrealisticly, always in the east. i must say that it can be quite interesting to try to figure out where you should go while you have to figure out where you are, and where you are heading. for this, i'd recommend getting to know the shores first. it can somtimes be surprisingly difficult to find out where you are by simply using the sun or the moon. the moon is always in the west, but please don't kill me if i'm wrong. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" /> in fact, you'd better check now you still can.

and there's of course the ability to loot.
