    Solved Interface Texture Changes

    Long time no see indeed! :keith Although to be fair I've been lurking for a few weeks already trying to get my finger back on the pulse. I've been well, thank you very much, the days of scratching my belly in the sun and playing video games without end are over but progress is never a bad...

    Solved Interface Texture Changes

    A semi-related question: would it be possible to have a separate set of interface images for when the game is running in widescreen for example? I've recently discovered how beautiful the game looks in full HD, but the stretched UI kinda bugs me. So would a simple...

    Solved I can not launch the game!!!

    As far as I can tell, the only difference between the originals and your translated files is that you put the ships' names between double quotes ("...") instead of singles ('...'). The problem with using the doubles in this context is that it confuses the code - the double quotes are used to...

    Solved I can not launch the game!!!

    This is an obvious one: the syntax is wrong (missing a "}") on line 38 of those 3 files. Could you upload the files in question?

    Solved 30/3/2013 CTD #2

    Noted! However I think this wasn't the case here, I had been running the game for probably only 30-40 minutes when this popped.

    Black screen at start of game

    I'm just reaching here, so hush me up if I'm wrong, but maybe one of the various compatibility settings (in case of Vista/7/8) could help? I seem to recall having issues such as this with other games (maybe even PotC, but my memory fails me on that) which were fixed when I found the right...

    Solved 30/3/2013 CTD #2

    Hello again lads & lasses. This is my second CTD from yesterday's late night session. I only had half an eye open by the time this happened so unfortunately I can't recall what I was doing IG when it happened. I hope the logs will help! :doff Apologies if I should've put this in the thread I...

    Solved CTD: Potion selection during boarding

    Hi all. I crashed to desktop when I tried to use a potion during boarding, more specifically when I pressed enter to get to the potion selection menu. I have attached the logs. I'm a bit confused as to why it occurred now, I've used potions before without the CTD. :unsure

    New Location-specific Loading Screens

    Anyone currently working on improving the loading screens? Can't help but to notice that they are really bad quality images of the game running on low-res. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would very much be willing to take new ones and append them with the loading screen decor...

    “Age of Empires” for a New Era

    Aside from the fact that it was not online, that was essentially what they did with AoE III, which IMO was their first screwup in this series and directly led to this massively multiplayer mess we see in this trailer. Sad.

    Game refusing to start.

    Problem solved, or at least I've got in once. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> I think the problem was that I was trying to force it to use V-Sync through Ati Tray Tools.

    Game refusing to start.

    Thanks, although that was the same version I think. No luck still. I have to go out now but will continue bashing my forehead against the screen when I get back - will keep you posted with results. <b>edit:</b> my system.log: <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div...

    Game refusing to start.

    Tried installing dx8.1, still the same. Drivers are the newest for my card (Catalyst 8.12). Could you (or anyone) try uploading your dx8render.dll from your /MODULES folder if the size is different than 274 432 bytes? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cheers.gif"...

    Game refusing to start.

    I installed the November '08 Redistributable (<i>directx_nov2008.exe</i>), which is 9.0c I think. Tried installing the DX on the PotC disc beforehand but it told me I already had a newer version, predictably.

    Yep, did just that, and the error persists. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/diomed.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dio" border="0" alt="diomed.gif" />

    Game refusing to start.

    Thanks, trying that at the moment. Would it being an Ubisoft version instead of the Bethsoft one matter?

    Game refusing to start.

    Hi guys, long time no see I guess. I've recently picked PotC up again (or would like to). My problem is that the Engine refuses to start, giving me the error I've attached a screenshot of. If anyone could offer a solution or upload his/her dx8render.dll I would be most grateful. <img...
