    Different topics need individual attention, a quality of professional writers that is necessary and not appreciated. If i need to add info or make changes due to updates I will edit the message as long as it's relevant. A change of subject requires a change in context... basic English Comp...

    Any Geek do an American language translation for this MS Gobbledygook? Why MS doesn't use the native language to tell the customer what the problem is shows just how arrogant MS is! That's the problem with dealing with monopolies... which are supposed to be illegal?( Maybe Der Fuhrer Trump...

    GR... how about a set of installation instructions? Been a long while since I did and while I have the individual modules I still need refresh on the step process to a good install. Directions to find that info would be appreciated. As is, I'm only running 18-2 (Dec 2019) at this time since...

    Interested in trying the update but it's been a while since I did an install and since there are several steps and a Zip file to unzip I'd appreciate a set of instructions or a reference to the instructions to refresh. Still having problems with the bizarre start crash after playing for several...

    https://www.tweaking.com/ GR suggestion: try it, know it, understand it... use it or not, your choice Another topic: ghosting Bloatware creates cross linking. I've experienced ghost visits by shipwrights and merchants during play of unassociated scenarios in which dialogue takes place and...

    The dialog fault was a C file corruption I resolved by dropping in a working copy from 14v18-2. The problem with cargo assignment delivery is a fault of the coder (genius?) who made delivery 2-part i.e. location (Port Royal) and name: told to deliver to Bannerman when arrived found O'Reilly was...

    Same here... I found the tavern wench problem was a corrupted dialogue C file which corrected with an 18-2 version copy. Some of the image problems may have been due to outdated C++ visual files which I have corrected... play has resumed but I still get scene transition crashes that frustrate...

    Yep... did all that when the GR link changed from DB to BG and installed the game ... bugs, freezes, transition crashes, etc. still going on. Now the serving wench dialog at St. John's tavern is not showing the dialog in spite of copy and paste from 3 different working older games... SO WHAT...

    Hmmm... interesting... somehow when I clicked your link it cited DB which is what I downloaded and attempted to 7Z unzip. After opening in the DB page I actually canceled out and repeated the link from your post. Whoever had changed it to DB, not you, had changed it back the next day as it had...

    Mod Release Build 14 Gamma Version [Last update: 31st January 2025]

    So...why wasn't the now obsolete (over-written) InternalSettings.h deleted? Actually the Hornblower series of novels is written by an historian specializing in that period: Many know of Horatio Hornblower's exploits during the Napoleonic Wars through the novels of C.S. Forester, but how many...

    Nope never unpack a tar file... I'm an analytical chemist and very competent in following instructions, a hallmark of this profession. The problem described was the DB link for the update zip file download which was defective and attempt to 7Z unzip resulted in the complaint as documented. I...

    Mod Release Build 14 Gamma Version [Last update: 31st January 2025]

    I don't see any improvement in any of the scenarios... in fact regressed to masts falling like pins in a bowling alley, freeze when ship is sunk by my or companion cannon fire, transitions crash game... etc. Is somebody overwriting the Initial Settings? I set all mast damage to ZERO (O) yet...

    Any ideas why this results during game start when trying to go ashore at Spiegtstown? Tweaking is a diagnostic and junk remover like CCleaner not active unless selected and runs in Safe Mode so nothing is altered in OS. My comment was that I saw a window during cleaning of "infections" that...

    Like me I hope the motivation is the challenge to improve the experience and remove the faults. I play for the problem solving challenge but this buggy freezing situation is soooo irritating. I also have that unique(?) failure to boot due to some intermittent fault that make this unplayable on...
