    Notice Fixing 'Black screen' issues with the in game videos.

    ah yeah, well i'm staying away from windows 10. Windows 7 is my last Windows, as i've started the move to Linux Mint (i'm posting this on my laptop that has been running Mint fine for about 8 months now), and will keep Windows just for gaming (currently i'm running the Build Mod on my old XP...

    WIP Black Barts Playtesting thread for Build 14 Beta 4 WIP (ver:18 Jan 2016)

    And just to say on the old Engine.exe i have not been able to reproduce the sitting sideways NPC's bug (been in and out of that tavern about 80 times so far!!), so maybe for testing purposes i will go back to the latest exe. Any pure oddities (like the ship icons not showing) we can put down to...

    WIP Black Barts Playtesting thread for Build 14 Beta 4 WIP (ver:18 Jan 2016)

    And just a little update, that new (well old!) engine.exe file sorted out the missing ship icons graphics glitch i was getting Pieter, so thank you for that idea :D

    WIP Black Barts Playtesting thread for Build 14 Beta 4 WIP (ver:18 Jan 2016)

    I'll give that exe a go and see if it resolves the missing ship icons for me (i also noticed a bunch of them missing when visiting the shipwright and looking at new ships in stock), this is a new issue for me with the Build mod (not present in my other game version) and as i'm on a really old OS...

    WIP Black Barts Playtesting thread for Build 14 Beta 4 WIP (ver:18 Jan 2016)

    The ship icon does come and go for me, i got it back on that same save about 20 mins later, and looking in the system.log file i gave you you can see it has an out of memmory error for that graphic. Now that same log file has no mention of it and the graphic displays. Maybe this is an issue due...

    WIP Black Barts Playtesting thread for Build 14 Beta 4 WIP (ver:18 Jan 2016)

    -=Player=- Barbados. Speightstown tavern April 16th, 1750 2.zip See if that link works for you? I included both .log files along with the save game. Upstairs is a british soldier sitting 'sideways' at that top table where the officers for hire are usually. I think this guy will just tell you to...

    Solved Avaible on steam?

    Well they did get Sea Dogs a while back: Sea Dogs on GOG.com So i was quietly hopeful that PotC might turn up one day?

    WIP Black Barts Playtesting thread for Build 14 Beta 4 WIP (ver:18 Jan 2016)

    So i think i did something like this in previous testings, and the main purpose is to get that view from the outside (i've not been involved in the Build Mod for a long while, but know it pretty well (as in where and why it started etc)), and have a place for me to throw down things i'm noticing...

    Notice Fixing 'Black screen' issues with the in game videos.

    I started to have this problem many years back while working on an older version of Build 14, and it meant that all those game loading video's (disney, akella, bethesda) would just display as a black screen while the music for them played fine. It also meant all the in-game videos would just...

    Solved Problems with installing latest WIP version

    Ahhhh, that old chestnut ;) It's all Greek to me, but at least you now have an idea of why it was doing this, which can help with any longer term fix maybe :) For now it all seems to be running fine (i've had a corrupt save issue in the Speightstown tavern, but i seem to remember this could...

    Solved Problems with installing latest WIP version

    Well just on a 'what's the harm to try' whim, i set the Engine.exe to run in compatibility mode for Windows 98/Me, and that load from ship to Speightstown worked! This is on an XP machine, which is just plain weird, especially as i was getting the CTD 100% of the time either inside or outside of...

    Solved Problems with installing latest WIP version

    hmmm. I didn't get any errors with that second .cab file i downloaded, and i separately extracted it to see that 7zip did not report any errors, so that file seems to be fine. I got the crashes on my initial install which was in a \Program Files\ path, but this is XP (admin account) and the...

    Solved Problems with installing latest WIP version

    Ok here are fresh new versions of the log files (i got both this time!) after that CTD on leaving the starting ship. If nothing obvious is in them maybe i could give the other option a try and download the older version (as mentioned in the first post) and then update to see if i avoid these...

    Solved Problems with installing latest WIP version

    I just have the system.log file (it's been a while since i looked into the Build mod, so there might be other stuff i need to do?):

    Solved Problems with installing latest WIP version

    So where do we post details of our testing? If here, i just popped in to say that as of yesterday's downloads as outlined in the first post (so the exe and cab file), i'm getting reproducible CTD's when trying to enter Speightstown for the first time (in the tutorial section with Malcolm), i...

    Solved Problems with installing latest WIP version

    Thanks for the kind welcome matey's, and i'm a few mins away from re-downloading that .cab file. I did extract the first one (via 7zip) and it did indeed report about 20-30 corrupted files, so hopefully this second download will fair better, and if not do we have any other links to it (like on...

    Solved Problems with installing latest WIP version

    Long time at sea for me matey's, but i stumbled back here and am in the process of trying to get this new testing thing set up :) I've tried twice so far and as soon as i run the b14_beta4_installer.exe, it sort of doesn't do much for about 30 seconds (as in the blue progress bar does not...
