Just another engine.exe crash

[Fieris]

Hey guys,
Just installed cleanly for the first time on old laptop, everything worked on better pc.
first the original game then the newest mod. I start the engine.exe and theres the instant microsoft c+ termination error. I post log files.

Appreciate your help.

With or without modpack? At what point does it crash? What is your graphics card?

From "error.log":

COMPILE ERROR - file: sea_ai\sea.c; line: 146
function LanguageCloseFile(args:0) doesnt accept 1 arguments

From "system.log":

User Rised Exception
C:\PROJECTS\DRIVE_V2\ENGINE\SOURCES\Core.cpp line 526
fail to create program

Which game have you installed, and which modpack, if any? Where did you get the original game?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

I've seen that error before. It happens when the modpack isn't correctly installed.
If I recall, there are some files missing from the Main Archive that are included in the EXE Installer instead.
Which would means that you can trigger this problem by manually extracting the acrhive instead of letting the installer do it for you.

Are you sure you are following the instructions?

1. Install the stock PotC and make sure it runs OK
2. Create a folder anywhere, such as in "Downloads"
3. Download Part 1 and Part 2 and put them in that folder
4. In that folder, click on the EXE
5. Browse to your PotC install. Point the installer there
6. Choose the options you want when asked
7. Play!

Just did once more from the start, its the same on old laptop.
it uses Intel Mobile chip 4 family, and i installed the intel fix, did not help.
I used original Corsairs Russian cds which worked with 13 mod ( they are in russian sounds and language).
Now downloading pirated english version, and will try agian.
Also trying on a better pc with nvidia graphics.
The both games english and russian works fine without mod.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

It should work for the Russian version too, I think. As there is a clear error in error.log and the game works without the mod, this is not a hardware issue.
It has to be an installation error. So I ask this question again:

Are you sure you are following the instructions?

1. Install the stock PotC and make sure it runs OK
2. Create a folder anywhere, such as in "Downloads"
3. Download Part 1 and Part 2 and put them in that folder
4. In that folder, click on the EXE
5. Browse to your PotC install. Point the installer there
6. Choose the options you want when asked
7. Play!

DO NOT touch the .7z file yourself! Let the installer EXE take care of that.

So i managed to run everything on better computer,
I will try it on the older one to download everything again.
I wonder if this could be a Microsoft c++ error on old one cause the error is instant.
and can I transfer the installed game via usb flashdrive?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

and can I transfer the installed game via usb flashdrive?

Yes, you can. Both with and without the modpack.

Hi
I just found your Mod of PotC, I loved this game in that era!
So I found the CDs and installed it, it ran fine. But patch has the same problem as the above users!!

What I've done:
1. Installed to C:\Games\Pirates of Caribbean
2. Downloaded both parts and installed with intel and ENB checked. (I have Intel Corei7 and Intel HD3000 Graphics)
3. After installation, when I run the game, I get Visual C++ runtime error.
4. Completely Removed the game and installed the patch with only default features (Main+Update). Same errors.
5. Removed Completely, Installed game and patch in Windows XP, Same errors again.

Game runs fine without patch so hardware shouldn't be the problem


Please help

Can you please upload the files in your PROGRAM folder? A fair amount of people have been getting that error and it really shouldn't happen.
I wonder if it is due to a different version of the unmodded game. So if you post your files, I'll be able to check it properly and hopefully come up with a fix that always works.
