This game is about to get the deep six...
After another .dll error (the game still ran), I got a crash and when rebooting, go this error-

No 'module path' key in engine.ini

well, guess what, nothing in the engine.ini folder!

So, if anyone can post the content so I can copy and paste in the folder, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Yours, Very MadMike

<b>stephandebuf, </b>CapitainDams is right, use the spacebar to change screens.

<b>MadMike, </b>are you in the USA/do you have a US version of this game?

I have a modded game so this might be different for you, but I don't know for sure:

If you are not running PotC with any mods, you may want to get Build 11.0 - it will make your game run better - there was a European patch for the Euro version of PotC, but it didn't get released for the US - our modders have remedied that, plus added a lot more useability and fun to the game (you can play past the "end" of the main quest, now). <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
euh i got european version
what exactly is a mod ? it isnt a patch ?
can i have the problem because i dont play with my cd ?
 
<b>stephandebuf, </b>the 11.0 Build is a collection of modifications made to the game by fans which also includes patches to fix the buggy game - in the case of the US/UK version of the game, no patch was ever made to counteract the extreme bugginess of PotC, however the Euro/Russian version had an "official" patch from Akella.

If you would like to play the game past the conclusion of the main quest you should try out Build 11.0 - there are many many many features added that make the game SO much more interesting and fun - and after playing the unmodded game, playing with the Build will seem like you are playing a whole new game.

US/UK versions of PotC will be improved by Build 11.0 because the fan modders here have adapted the Euro patch for the Build - when you download the Build you will ALSO have a choice of getting the Euro patch as well as the Build - it's all set up very carefully with installers so you won't have to worry whether you're getting everything in the correct directories &tc... Very nicely done.

Here is the url for downloading the Build:

<a href="http://mods.piratesahoy.net/index.php?action=view&view=entry&entryid=73" target="_blank">http://mods.piratesahoy.net/index.php?acti...ntry&entryid=73</a>

This is a link to the main level of PotC mods so that you can see what else is available:

<a href="http://mods.piratesahoy.net/index.php?action=view&view=category&catid=24&catflag=1&sublevel=2" target="_blank">http://mods.piratesahoy.net/index.php?acti...ag=1&sublevel=2</a>

Note that some of the other modifications aside from Build 11.0 may not work with the build because they are older and use different code - you should get the Build first, then test with the other mods to find out if they work.

OR ask in the forums here, we try to help where we can. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
