Solved Periodic Crashes

[Duncan Downie]

Hi.
I'm having a problem with Pirates of the Caribbean crashing. I am running the latest version of build 14 on windows 7. Originally I had a problem with crashes at start up but I was able to fix that using SwiftShader and now the game crashes to the desktop when ever I try to get to the port or my ship. I have the error logs here.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide

I will very rarely get a CTD and error like that. Starting over from the last save lets me continue. This happens to you every time? From the info you provided, it sounds like the weak Intel graphics is the culprit.
