    Solved I smell mutiny .... (my comrade ships shooting each other)

    Shouldn't that mean that these abilities shouldn't be there to begin with? Since I never play anything but iron man mode.

    Solved I smell mutiny .... (my comrade ships shooting each other)

    Another thing for you to possibly check. I noticed that when I switch back and forth between two screens (like betwen shore and sea or shore and forest), then sometimes time goes back around 3-5 minutes. Like it's 9:11 at shore. I then board my vessel, go directly to sea and it is 9:08.:8q Not...

    Solved I smell mutiny .... (my comrade ships shooting each other)

    Uploaded a save, where you will be in Gouvernor's Harbor. Also uploaded an error.log and a compile.log, which both are just minutes old. I mixed the ability menu up with the skill menu, where there is indeed a context menu via right-click. But still the pre-reloading skill is blank when you...

    Solved I smell mutiny .... (my comrade ships shooting each other)

    Well, since this has become my general bug report thread I might as well go on.^^ 1.) There is a bug with the pre-reloading ability. Once activated it never ceases as long as the current screen on sea is the active screen. Also, if I check it in the abilities overview, there is no info text on...

    Solved I smell mutiny .... (my comrade ships shooting each other)

    For me they appeared to be very buggy, so I didn't even bother to play them very much. Therefore I cannot really say which islands were more or less affected. Often the captains would not spawn, after the destination was reached. Resulting in me having to kill the captain in order to get rid of...

    Solved I smell mutiny .... (my comrade ships shooting each other)

    BTW - it's finally time to get back to topic. 1.) The quest with Vigila Mendez worked this time around. So it appears to be pretty random if it works or not. Odd ..... There was a small error message though, when I finished it. But no visible impact on the mission or on the game so far. 2.)...

    Solved I smell mutiny .... (my comrade ships shooting each other)

    Seems that I am the only one here, who has clearly far more use for it than the troubles it causes. BTW I never experienced problems with it, that I could clearly attribute to it. At least not that I am aware of it. But since it appears to be pretty much a compatibility issue anyway, I may...

    Solved I smell mutiny .... (my comrade ships shooting each other)

    It's tried, it's true .... we have a winner! Seems that my sluggish laptop is heavily dependent on .....let's call it "backwards compatibility".:modding Nice! Thanks a ton, sir. Though art truly a savior.^^ Earlier you wrote that the config.exe resulted in trouble. Any bugs I need to be...

    Solved I smell mutiny .... (my comrade ships shooting each other)

    Do I have to place the .exe in a certain folder? Or will the root folder of the mod do?

    Solved I smell mutiny .... (my comrade ships shooting each other)

    It sure as hell was clearly recognizable when I changed it the last time (to mediocre). Everything, including the menu, looked far less "crisp". But the game did run. Fun Fact: I just completely deleted the "screen_bpp =" column. Nothing happened. Does this thing do anything? I even could start...

    Solved I smell mutiny .... (my comrade ships shooting each other)

    Awww MAN! What a pain in the a**! It's weird, because when I change either resolution, full screen on/off or both it is taking effect as soon as I start the game. No questions asked. But changing the color depth seems to have no effect. If it is a Windows security problem, wouldn't there be a...

    Solved I smell mutiny .... (my comrade ships shooting each other)

    Doesn't work. It appears as if the game doesn't correspond to the changes made in .ini. This is what it currently looks like. modules path = modules\ full_screen = 0 screen_x = 1024 screen_y = 768 ;full_screen = 0 ;screen_x = 1600 ;screen_y = 900 lockable_back_buffer = 0 screen_bpp =...

    Solved I smell mutiny .... (my comrade ships shooting each other)

    Looking in the engine.ini I found that piece of code: screen_bpp = D3DFMT_X8R8G8B8 bpp refers to color depth in graphics. So that could be the piece that I am looking for. But how to tweak it? Maybe changing the 8's to 4's? I could also up 'em to 16 and watch my laptop melt to a steaming...

    Solved I smell mutiny .... (my comrade ships shooting each other)

    I am afraid that will not cut it for me. I already have the ingame resolution in sync with my desktop resolution and windowed mode is active. It's really the color settings. I am quite sure about that because I ran into that very problem when I started playing build 2.3. Me and Hylie Pistof had...

    Solved I smell mutiny .... (my comrade ships shooting each other)

    I updated it to Beta 3 WIP 8. Errr ..... where are the graphical settings? There used to be a little .exe for that. Problem is that I need to change my color settings. Maybe in the engine.ini, if that is managable from there? I always play on mediocre color settings, since anything higher...

    Solved I smell mutiny .... (my comrade ships shooting each other)

    My extrem lack of patience led me to install 2.5 right away. Awesome! I really like the new proportions of the Carribean and the fact that the wind doesn't magically change whenever a new "day" begins. Feels a whole lot more realistic now and it requires more precise navigation to get from A to...

    Solved I smell mutiny .... (my comrade ships shooting each other)

    Hey Mateys, I have encountered a weird problem/bug. My ships start to shoot at each other in the mid of a sea fight. And they mean it. I am not talking about accidental "friendly fire". They really try to sink each other. It doesn't happen all the time. But by now it happened more than once...

    Solved WTF is Gibbs?

    Damn. That's kind off an obstacle. Any other way towards the precious aztec compass or a way to Isla de Muerte? Would suck if I can't get there since that was my aim all along. Do I have to wait now until the guy is born/becomes 45 (or whatever his age his)? Lol - I feel pretty damn stupid...

    Solved WTF is Gibbs?

    Hey Ho! I currently run a freeplay as Johan Elting. I am looking for Gibbs, but he does not show up in the Tortuga Tavern. Why? Is he excluded from the Dutchman's storyline or what? Point is I definetely want that compass. I have a crapload of money to throw around and buying one or two of...

    Praise and criticism

    Allright. I will turn off the ship class option and will perform the ransoming via interface and see how it works. BTW - is there already some footage for this Hearts of Oak thing? I read a little bit about it in the Google doc concept and it definetely sounds most intriguing. Quite a piece of...
