    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...

    B14 troubles

    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...

    B14 troubles

    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 Some of the image problems may have been due to outdated C++ visual files which I have corrected...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: 19th September 2024]

    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: 19th September 2024]

    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...

    B14 troubles

    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...

    B14 troubles

    I've used Tweaking for years with no issues for this or any other graphics game. This issue only affects this v22/24 game and only the rendering issue as stated in the diagnostic which causes the failure and the statement that this machine is not capable of running this program. Previous game...

    B14 troubles

    Update to the virus/malware that stops the program from running due to a bogus rendering fault: While continuing to play the B14v24British program I suddenly was blocked by the familiar fault that this program was not compatible with the computer due to rendering fault. Those who are continuing...

    Another game fault issues has repeated ... check it out... Phantom ships reappeared... is the game deteriorating as it's being played or is this another reason the developers ran away? Anyone interested in solving this fascinating riddle of the "Phantom Ships"? Which module do I need to...

    GR- Got another game issue I need your knowledge to restore. My captives are not showing in the location they are supposed to be. I've about 9 captures that have disappeared instead of being where they are supposed to be... sounds like yet another game glitch. What module do I need to copy...

    B14 troubles

    FYI: World History Encyclopedia In the poorly ventilated, cramped, and not always clean ships of the period, a sailor was far more likely to die from disease than a Spanish cannon shot. Indeed, casualties were often so high that a ship had to be abandoned for want of sufficient crew to sail it...

    A letter of marque was a commission authorizing privately owned ships (known as privateers) to capture enemy ships. A letter of marque was issued by the High Court of Admiralty. Any captured vessels were then brought before admiralty courts for condemnation and sale. Privateers were viewed as...

    Ahoy GR! OK, now tell me how much is "too much"? This is entirely arbitrary and makes no sense at all... at that time I had just begun and had only 1.9M GC... not large enough to instigate a mutiny in any past versions I've played. There are no banks to park the money... costs of repair and...

    B14 troubles

    Still having problems with the June update game. Ship images are not showing in the game after battle during the assimilation processing. I may have to delete and reinstall this game if code was dropped during installation. Mutiny is very overdone in this version happens far too much for no...

    B14 troubles

    I need to remind all that the version I'm discussing is the British version Baste kindly modded to limit the game to only the Free Play and Tales of a Sea Hawk... further modded due to my Lenovo T61 having only the Intel965 chip set and no NVIDIA capability. Two zip downloads were provided one...

    B14 troubles

    I downloaded and installed the latest update from scratch using all the parts currently available onto my T61 C drive, I then copied the British PROGRAM module from Baste's provided British games, and have been playing for two days as of today without the "DX8Render.dll" crash. This on a T61...
