    BNH B15 Issues

    Thanks for the clarification and your taking time to investigate. My concern was that changing the Internal Settings, as I've done before should not have stopped a previously booting code unless some fault was in effect, Question remains why it did? Since the "nightly" version was not intended...

    B14 troubles

    Hmmm.... interesting. I've played on two OS, Win7 and 10 Pro... on three different Lenovo machines T61, T510, T540P. My experience with ship sink freeze began with 14v17... and has continued since. the only change was the code version. As described when I installed on the USB the game did...

    B14 troubles

    'ello Mate, top o' the mornin'. Tried the BNH B15 and found it won't work on a USB since the support files are only on the OS drive and the code doesn't look for them. Also, when I installed on the drive the game loaded but with no Config giving Full Screen play it's in a tiny frame on my...

    BNH B15 Issues

    I'm attempting to play Free Play since I prefer an unstructured game. This attempt is a disaster. I'm having to return to the relatively stable B14v24 British game I was given by the Wizard of C mentor... much more enjoyable recreation. B15 BNH is so corrupted that each time I attempt, after...

    BNH B15 Issues

    It's still the same process as B14 which I've done since v16... the items needed to start the game are not showing and the gold frame is empty...does this sound reasonable? 'Course not, why? Is this zip corrupted like the former B14v22 was? Has anyone checked the checksum for this download? I...

    B14 troubles

    Well, spoke too soon. The MS activation needed malware has showed its ugly fangs and is blocking my attempts to continue use. Seems MonopolySoft has a new price-gouging program called "license" seems by installing auto-updates all MS users must now have a license for a particular computer use...

    BNH B15 Issues

    Well... started out enthusiastic about new engine new build solving all the problems of B14 that Akella engine caused... boy, was I not surprised... even more problems than with the more playable B14. Am I the only one experiencing these? First unzipped the file and started the game.... NO...

    B14 troubles

    Finally solved the problem with MiniTool Partition Wizard v9.1. It was something in the program! I've cloned the working W10pro from the T510 and am now using. I appreciate your help in getting this system restored and I agree that MS is too intrusive and manipulative, both signs of a...

    B14 troubles

    Hmmm... actually my key issue is that somehow my T540P was configure for WAN/LAN not Public internet... as my T510 W10Pro is using. I have no clue as to how to change that choice to Public and cannot find info online that explains howto. I have a W10Pro CD install but without internet can't...

    B14 troubles

    Off subject, but I'm desperately in need of advice. While attempting to clone my W10Pro to another drive for the bogus Win10 T540P I've tried Haselo, which I used before to clone W7 drives, but the new version shows the long arm of "MasterSoft" in that they now do not allow USB cloning (how am...

    B14 troubles

    Ahhhhah! Thought the reason might be in the original coding logic, never that it was written into the engine, not a good idea. Oh well, Coder may not have considered how screen transition instability would affect play. Thanks for the revisions, downloading now, will be interesting to compare...

    B14 troubles

    I was able to install and play your British version, very delightful, but for some reason cannot find it now. Would you do me the favor of reestablishing the link to : https://piratesahoy.bowengames.com/potc/Baste/CoastGuard71.zip I've tried to recover that game but the link seems to not work...

    B14 troubles

    Great info! Thanks for the tech details... no where else can I find such excellent advice, you are a treasure! I confirm the NVIDIA presence in the Win10pro OS on the T510 and will clone onto the SSD of the T540P. I've been playing on the 510 since it is similar to the T61 I've used for the...

    B14 troubles

    Thanks for the information, appreciate your taking the time to provide such guidance. When Grey Roger affirmed the install was corrupted and posted the correct code on a new platform I downloaded and installed it on the W10Pro T510 with satisfactory results. Play was remarkably better with the...

    B14 troubles

    Hi Mate, I'm discussing with you since you seem to be the only person with the tech knowledge and skills to provide help. Finally got working W10Pro and running B14v22 on a USB with fantastic detail and color in graphics... W10 uses Dx12, much better than the Dx8 originally in the game code...

    B14 troubles

    Hi, thanks for the hints... of course I know everyone, including myself, are here for the fun and solving programming issues for the pleasure of solving problems to make a good gaming concept work. Problem is the code is too big to not prevent crosstalk and all the attempts to alter code has...

    B14 troubles

    Is the "B15 Beyond" a different situation due to the different "engine"? Has anyone information about its compatibility with Intel 965? I'm reluctant to waste more time chasing after something that won't work... like this. While installing and modding the variable values within to my liking I...

    B14 troubles

    Sorry to report that your elegant and much simplified installation, though very easy to do, has not improved the quality of play. The issues previously reported have not been as severe, however the instability and frequent crashes during play have gotten worse. v16/17 by comparison are far...

    B14 troubles

    Wow! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! You are truly the Wizard of C! Wish I had your knowledge and skills, life would be so much easier. My Lenovo T61 Intel 965 never was a problem before so I can't understand why this v22 build is such a problem. I've reverted to v16/17 and was playing last night for...

    B14 troubles

    Yep...same here... as I've said many times NOT INSTALLATION... NOT SHOUTING... although many devotees like to say so... it's apparent to me that a lot of people have trouble being able to read small print so to accommodate their deficiency I'm courteously using larger print... now do you...
