I'm at the point where I'm going to pay Governor Silehard a visit with Danielle. When we reach Redmond we go on land and Danielle tells me we have to get inside the residence before dawn and I answer we have to find another way in, through a window maybe. After that the game starts loading the bedroom, but during the loading my game crashes (engine.exe encountered a problem and needs to be shut down (roughly translated from dutch error message)).

Using Build 13 update 3
 
B 13 Full + v2 + v3 + micro patch
Note -> no B 12 base as it gave me interface problems.

Just did the section today.

No problems.
 
well, did you install build 12.1 first bruce? if you didn't, the it's likely another one of those faulty installs.
 
No, I did a clean install and then B13 -> update 3 -> micropatch. So I didn't install update 2 like rupert did. But I shouldn't need update 2, right? Since it's already included in update 3?
I started a new game, this time with B14A6. In case someone wants me to test something to fix the problem with B13, I still have that one installed too. But if I'm the only one with this problem then there's no need to look further into it.
 
no, i don't think that you need to install update 2 first. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> methinks. (EDIT: see next post!) i'm starting to loose track of all these mods. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> build 14a5 is more stable, but you can't get it anymore at the moment.
 
like I said previously in a similar thread.

it seems that update 3 is quite cranky

when you don't include update 2 first.
 
OK, but Update 2 isn't available at <a href="http://www.s31clan.com/pietersmods" target="_blank">http://www.s31clan.com/pietersmods</a> where I got the other files. Which reminds me: The installer for build 13 on that site is or was corrupted. I downloaded it twice and both times I tried to install it, it gave me an error message about a corrupted installer, both times when processing the same file. I searched a bit and found the installer on filefront and that one worked.
 
update 2 is on the second post of the "Pieter's page" thread somewhere in the POTC mods forum.

UH? I seem to have left out some files from Update 3 that WERE in Update 2. I thought I had made sure I DID do it properly. Sorry for that. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

To Rupertlittlebear: Could you please extract Update 2 somewhere, then extract Update 3 on top, then zip it all up again and upload the new files to my webspace, replacing the current Update 3? That should make sure that you don't need Update 2 anymore.
While you're at it, could you also add the fixed LAi_fightparams.c?
