Three problems with build 14

Hi guys,

ive just managed to get the latest build up and running and have started a new game on the jack sparrow quest. but it seems now no matter what i do i keep crashing to the desktop when trying to go to sea with my ship. it seems 9/10 times i try i crash to my desktop and its making what seems a fantastic mod unplayable for me :\

i have a ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M SERIES graphics card

i also have 2 minor bugs which i have found

that brin woman who you have to take to see her sister has two characters in the characters screen lol (although im sure this has been mentioned before). also the first ship jack sparrow has, when on deck, fills with water when the waves come up, eve though its not sinking.

them two bugs dont really affect my game at all i just thought you might want to know, but the constant crashing is really annoying me because i really want to play this new quest

thankyou for any help in advance

With "latest Build", do you mean Build 14 Alpha 9.5 Patch 2?
Were you able to go to sea before installing it? Are you sure you followed the <a href="http://wiki.piratesahoy.net/index.php/Instalations#Build_14_Installation_Instructions" target="_blank">installation instructions</a>?
The waves coming over the ship's deck is because of the level of the model; that's not something we can easily do something about. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
I don't recall any two-character Brin reports before, so that's rather weird! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
 
yeah im sure i have the latest, i used that page to install it about a week ago. so unless the page has been updated in the last week i think i have the latest downloads.

it crashes constantly, ive tried twice since posting my first post, i crash both times, when trying to get on my ship from spreightstown.

and yeah there are definately 2 brins but it doesnt really bother me lol :p
and the water makes it look as if i am sinking lol :p but again not really a problem
 
A week ago is not the most recent patch <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

There was a patch released yesterday (I think it was) and this is the most up to date <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

So try downloading and installing this patch and see if it fixes it <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
 
lol ive just put patch 2 over my game and opened runme.bat and now im getting abmormal program termination, so i have to uninstall and re install again.

im beginning to wonder wether all this is worth it and maybe i should stay with build 13 full
 
It IS possible to get the Build 14 Alpha 9.5 Patch 2 installed properly. Is it worth it?
I would say yes for sure, considering the incredible new content, as well as the fact that it's really quite playable, stability-wise.
However, it IS still an alpha WIP version and not quite as finished as Build 13 was.

But I'd certainly recommend trying a reinstall as per <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?s=&showtopic=12809&view=findpost&p=307383" target="_blank">these instructions</a> and see what you get.
If it then still doesn't work, we can also try <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?showtopic=9234" target="_blank">error logging</a> so we can figure out what goes wrong.
 
i re installed everything and i have patch 2 up and running.

but im still stuck with the same problem of crashing. it took me 6 attempts to get to spreightstown near the start of the jack sparrow quest.

is there anything that can be done to reduce the amount of times my game crashes to the desktop? because this quest sounds awesome and i really want to play it <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
If only we knew WHY it was crashing in the first place. Is it random or consistent? Are you using the experimental mods?
What about that error logging I suggested above?

Did you deleted program and modules folders before installing the builds?
and about that 2 characters problem.
I had quite the same problem with davy jones ...but whenever it happend to me(2 times) there were 2 jack's too <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mellow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":|" border="0" alt="mellow.gif" />
 
Delete the modules folder? Don't do that! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
In fact, if you install Build 14 Alpha 9.5, all removals are done automatically, so no need to bother with that anymore.
As you might have noticed, the folder removal is no longer in the installation instructions either. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":no" border="0" alt="no.gif" />
 
oh ok ,my bad <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

Malk <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":drunk" border="0" alt="buds.gif" />
 
ive crashed again, not that i am suprised anymore. i changed the settings so that i will now compile error logs. the document called 'system' in the main directory seems to be the one which has the error logs wrote down, so i have uploaded the file.

i am only guessing that this is the file you need because there isnt an 'error log' file. if it is the wrong one does anyone know which file i need to show you guys lol,

if it is the right one i really hope someone can find why i keep crashing all the time :/

thanks again

There's no reasons for crashing in that one. What about compile.log?
Error.log is only generated if the game has an error to report.
Believe it or not, but for some crashes, the game won't actually generate an error. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
Do you have any information on when the crash occurs? What do you do at the time of the crash?
Is it consistent or random? Any information might help to figure out where the problem might lie.
 
the crashes always happen when either leaving the world map to go to sea, or vice versa.
either that or when i go from my ship deck (after leaving port) to sea, or vice versa.

in essence the crashes are always ship related. i rarely rarely crash without a ship involved.

and when it does crash, there isnt anything i can do, it just goes to the desktop and its as if i never even turned the game on.

thing is the game used to crash on vanilla and with build 13, but it was much rarer, wheras now it took me about 8 attempts to get to Spreightstown from Grand Cayman without the game crashing.

and yeah i have a compile document i will upload it.

if you still dont know the problem i will just use build 13, it still has a lot of cool features. although it will be a shame because this new one looks awesome <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

So ARE you or ARENT you using Experiemental mods???

There is a warning on that download page of Experiemental mods that says it can cause crashes and that would explain it.

Your compile.log does not however support this <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />. Did you load the compile.log straight after the crash happened?

As for the double Jack/Davy problem that is well and truly fixed as my fixes (plus a better fix) are included in patch 2
 
Unfortunately the compile.log doesn't indicate any good reason for crashing either.
I wished I could help you, but I just haven't got a clue what is the problem. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
 
ive been using the build 14 alpha 9 mod with patch 2 top with no extra mods included.

oh well, never mind, i will just use build 13 for now then. it is still a very good build.

thanks for your help anyway <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
