Well I have had that with each of the three insatallations I have done. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

I have installed three times before I got it right I think. But it occurs to me that if I am only one having these problems, particularly no graphics with the save game, maybe there is something wrong with the install. What do you think?
 
I noticed that happening to.

No picture is shown for the saved game state. Though taht didnt really bug me since i only had like 3 save states ^^
 
Not sure.

Since the new instalation today i didnt play it yet.

Before that i had some really big crashing issues with some WIP mods ^^
 
Pieter and Hook,

I am finished playing at least today and I want to leave you with a couple of hypothesies. I am in the old main quest but haven't started the actual maine quest yet.

I think there are two areas that are seriouly bugged. The shipyard <b>after swaping ships</b> regardless of where you you do it, at sea or on land after the engagenment. You can go to the shipyard but after you finish reparing and selling the other ship it crashes when you leave.

Going to the map from the sea.

I get crashes every time and every place.

As I said earlier, many things have been fixed from the previous builds and it looks great, but I feels that these bugs are a little different than broken individual quests. These bugs effect overall game play and as such are game killing bugs, particularly the one on the map.

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Usually when I'm getting lag like that it's because the game is writing to the error.log file... constantly. Does this lag still happen if your character isn't moving? Could it be related to the stepping sounds?<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

yep hook, this lag occurs even when my character ain`t movin` at all.
the error log is on just since the day before yesterday.
i even tried pack in rar format the whole music folder, just to see if was something related to .ogg format and the like.
but the lag is there.

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Huh? I didn't even know you COULD buy anyone a drink through the tavern-owner. And kidnap someone in the tavern?

er..no peter, sorry, my tale was misleading <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
i meant: my avatar started a dialog with someone in the tavern, who asked in favor a mug of rum.
after two rounds the fellow countryman accused my character to plan to reduce him to an unconscious state in order to rob him (maybe to kill him, club him or stab him, really don`t know, never had the opportunity).
however the tavernkeeper stops the cries and my avatar stands up.
that`s when the bug shows up.
as said before, my character is teleported far away, all the screen is black, my avatar stands up in the middle of nothing and rotatating the camera shows me the city and the inside of the tavern as should be shown to modders.
only pressing A or D i can slowly move my character back in the game, inside the tavern, where everything is freezed `till my character is back.
then, everything goes on as nothing happened.
as i talk to the same or another person, the bug reproduces itself.
can someone check it?
in my game happens only in Port Royale, at least `till this moment.

sniff... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ib012.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cry" border="0" alt="ib012.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ib012.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cry" border="0" alt="ib012.gif" /> ....buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh.....the screen becomes black as i accept the mission....sniff sniff.
i`ll try later, i have just downloaded the 2nd patch, so new game awaits me.

minor bugs:
COMPILE ERROR - file: Locations\locations_locators.c; line: 120
file not found: dialogs\ENGLISH\John Filbert_dialog.h
COMPILE ERROR - file: Locations\locations_locators.c; line: 120
file not found: dialogs\John Filbert_dialog.c

my locations_locators file have (accordingly to my notepad editor) 118 lines....so....did my error log swallowed a mug of ale?
i checked in storeowner.c file, there was a double space in there,BUT i still can`t have it fixed:
when i talk to Filbert the following message appears "can`t load dialog file"
sgrunt.
suggestions?

i`ve been getting this error quite often lately:

RUNTIME ERROR - file: worldmap\DailyCrewUpdate.c; line: 494
missed attribute: id
RUNTIME ERROR - file: worldmap\DailyCrewUpdate.c; line: 494
no rAP data
someone understands this?

thanks to all.

If you install Patch 2 and the Build Alpha 9 Patch 1 is still installed, you get a problem:

<div align='center'><a href="http://img140.imageshack.us/my.php?image=newf.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/4082/newf.th.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /></a>
</div>

So, a new game must start.
 
I started a new game inkl. Patch 2 "New Horizons".

This happen in the tavern in Grenada , Sao Jorge:

</div>

One of them are afraid!

It must be in dvpt resources because it's only defined once in patch 1 and 2. That variable isn't even used.

Do a search for "softWeatherReset" and see where all it's defined. If it's anywhere but BuildSettings.c and CCCDirectsail.c it's not supposed to be there.

I haven't downloaded dvpt resources.

Those person-specific bugs are REALLY annoying! It seems that things that work fine for one person, don't work for everyone else. WTF???
For example, I haven't EVER had my savegames without pictures. Nor do I get lag when just walking around.
I've never had a crash upon going to the worldmap either, since the fixing of the midnight CTD bug.
The crazy thing is: I installed Alpha 9 as per the installation instructions and compared the result to my own game version and it is the same.
If all the files are the same, shouldn't the results for everyone be the same too? But noooo..... weird things happen all the time anyway! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

DON'T install Patch 2 on top of the Development Resources! The Development Resources are a completely different code base and are not fully compatible with Alpha 9.

John Filbert STILL has two spaces in his dialog file name? Dammit; I thought that was fixed! Better go check that when I get home. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
If you remove the double spaces from the character init file, you do need to start a new game; such changes don't immediately take effect. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

That "drinking with character" thing ought to be checked. I never do that, so it'll be fun to try and see what's supposed to happen. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Have you got any idea why that tavern lady is afraid? Was it anything you did? Or does it appear at random? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

....? I don´t know. I went 3 times in the tavern. First time she´s afraid. In the next she´s afraid and I crashed to Desktop. In the last time everything work nice.... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
 
Loaded Patch 2 on top of Patch 1

Started playing Sparrow. - No problems yet. (and I get pictures with saved games).
 
For me the pics with the saved games comes and goes. After I've rebooted my computer I always get the pics. After a while without a reboot they go away. When I was working on the sound stuff I had them come back without a reboot, so I have no idea. I noticed I've been losing those pics for many versions, so it's nothing new.

Break into a random house, put into chest.

Then again i never did manage to get rid of those in build 13 ^^
 
You're supposed to be unable to get rid of them things. Except for ONE SINGLE WAY!
Now you try to figure out what that way is. Just a hint... it's FUNNY. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rofl" border="0" alt="24.gif" />
