    Favorite pirate movies/TV shows?

    But there's a very clear goal and end story to all this. Assuming it's going to be somewhat canon, what eventually happens to Flint & Long John Silver is detailed 20 years later in the events of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic. It all goes back to the problem of a regular tv series with...

    Framerates locked a 64 FPS and no DirectX 9?

    I discovered that windowed mode disables vsync in these games, which I like to enable since I have a 120Hz monitor. Enabling vsync frequently keeps things from going wonky in older (and sometimes newer) games. I remember the infamous Skyrim bug where if you didn't lock your framerates at 60 or...

    Favorite pirate movies/TV shows?

    I took a look at Crossbones. Wow, what a great steaming turd of a pirate-themed television series, going by that dreadful pilot episode! Black & white heroes and villains, bad costume (melo)drama and the otherwise interesting John Malkovich's hideously mannered performance as the titular...

    Framerates locked a 64 FPS and no DirectX 9?

    As you can see, my system specs are fairly high (but not the highest) so maybe that's the reason? I can't get a constant 120 FPS with PotC but it does get there a lot, less so on open water. Do you have an Nvidia card? I make certain power management in the Nvidia control panel is set to...

    Favorite pirate movies/TV shows?

    What got me into playing New Horizons was a combination of playing the PC game Starpoint Gemini 2 and watching the excellent new television series Black Sails. I discovered the most fun parts of Starpoint Gemini 2 for me was boarding and taking over ships, to either sell, loot, destroy or...

    Solved How do I heal crew & companions on land?

    I was thinking that maybe just collecting the readme & documentation included in the original individual mods and compiling & editing them into a comprehensive FAQ/manual might work but I don't how detailed the original txt files were or even if there were help files included with the mods. Or...

    Framerates locked a 64 FPS and no DirectX 9?

    On my 120Hz Samsung LED monitor, with gaming at least, I can tell the difference between 60 FPS and 120 FPS but not anything beyond that. I think most people can easily detect a difference between 30 FPS and 60 FPS in games. POTC does run noticeably smoother than CoAS on my system at 120 FPS...

    Framerates locked a 64 FPS and no DirectX 9?

    Took a look at this game recently and discovered that on my i5 3.8 GHz, GTX 660 Ti-based system, the framerate is locked at 64 FPS whereas POTC runs at frequently over 200 FPS (!) with vsync off. Is this normal? Even in the unmodded vanilla game it does this. Also, according to my MSI...

    Solved How do I heal crew & companions on land?

    Heh, until recently, I didn't know my aft from my el-bow so fat chance I'd be able to help write a manual at this point in time :p I didn't even know how to do the most basic things or how to use the all-important radar in POTC but I did find this old thread somewhat invaluable...

    Solved How do I heal crew & companions on land?

    Thanks. This mod deserves a nice, thick manual to help newbies with all the undocumented features. Sometimes I feel a bit lost playing it, but with the help of this forum, I will persevere.

    Solved How do I heal crew & companions on land?

    Newbie problem here. I was in the jungle with two captains when we encountered skeletor monkeys. My captain/surgeon got bitten and was poisoned and all I could do was stand by helplessly and watch him turn green and then experience a quick slow death. How do I heal people in my party? Is it...

    Solved Xbox 360 Controller Support

    Yes, this might work for all you gentlemen of leisure & human couch cushions that want to play PotC: New Horizons on your big screen TV with your fancyboy wireless 360 controllers but I personally found it very slow and awkward using that second analog stick to maneuver through menus and...

    Included in Build Disable "Sidestep Disabled" message

    No problem, matey. Of course what would be ideal is if someone could figure out how to get true analog movement implemented since this method I'm using with Xpadder is basically just a remapping of the standard WASD movement keys with no analog function.

    Solved Xbox 360 Controller Support

    Certainly. I use Xpadder in conjunction with an Xbox 360 controller. My control scheme is as follows: left hand using the 360 controlling movement, activation, health, cursor up, down, left & right, Quick load, Quick save, etc. Right hand uses a 5 button mouse for all combat functions and...

    Included in Build Disable "Sidestep Disabled" message

    Heh, this is my first time playing the game and I like what I see. The reason why I needed to find a way to disable the Sidestep Message was because I'm using the analog stick on an Xbox 360 controller for movement and I kept bumping the Sidestep on it causing the msg to pop up. Of course what...

    Included in Build Disable "Sidestep Disabled" message

    I don't want sidestep enabled because I find myself frequently falling through floors but I hate the eyesore of seeing the message in the upper left corner of my screen constantly when I'd prefer to just concentrate on other more relevant info. How do I disable the message and still have...
