Fixed Crashes after creating character

[niels]

My game crashed for the second time after I finished creating my character.
1st time Malcolm talked to me, after his second line the game crashed, 2th time finisht creating character immediately a crash.
Note: No error log for the second crash though.

Update: third time no crashes seems like there's no pattern in it.

Did you erase the file named "options" from your main game folder and clear out your SAVE menu?

RUNTIME ERROR - file: sound\alias.c; line: 32
Invalid function call
RUNTIME ERROR - file: sound\alias.c; line: 32
function 'Alias_Init' stack error

^ I've seen that error before. It happens when you change any sound settings before starting a new game.
Doesn't actually seem to do any harm though.

I DLed this version and started a new game. I did not delete the options file but in the game I did delete the old profile. The game has worked fine with no bad saves so far out of 3 saves. I can not really tell any difference between this version and the 18 Oct version outside of no floating characters and the stock POTC grass.

@Pieter Boelen Everytime a new update comes I delete the old save games, delete the options file, and then start a new game. So yeah i guess.

Which storyline are you starting? Standard one? I just tried that myself and I can't replicate it on my end.
Also checked the Installer EXE and it results in a game version equal to my own, so that shouldn't be the problem either.

There are two things you can try:
1. Make a clean install of the game and modpack to ensure there aren't any left-overs from troublesome previous versions
2. ZIP up your PROGRAM and RESOURCE\INI folders and post them here so I can check if they ARE indeed identical to my own.
You may have to split the PROGRAM one into several parts; putting the Storyline folder in another ZIP should work.

@Pieter Boelen Freeplay as usually, but it already works no crashes now when creating a character.. glad it works for now, time to hunt some pirates!
