I haven't encountered it yet. Have you tried setting the interface theme to the other one in options? So far nobody has reported this I think, so its worth trying. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

That was the first thing I tried! But it did't worked! In addition there are some more buttons with no effect. For example the "Additional" button in the Interface options! Do you have this too?
 
a lot of people seem to be having bugs that nobody else has. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> i'm beginning to have a suspicion that the engine limits have been exceeded.

Maybe we can talk about my problem again <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whippa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":whipa" border="0" alt="whippa.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />

If I press "F2" and I want to change to another submenu like "Ship" or "Inventory", nothing happens except a yellow blinking button... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />

VERY weird problem. Beats me why that happens. Please enable <a href="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=9234" target="_blank">error logging</a> and post the compile.log, system.log and possibly error.log that are generated in the main PotC directory after the problem occurs. This might give a clue about what the problem is.
 
I have created a system.log. The only thing that looks suspicious to me is: <b>LocLoadShips: Can't find Location.locators.ships in location: Tutorial_Deck</b>!

But look yourself:

Is there an error.log that is generated after the problem occurs? I see nothing of note in system.log; I have those "Can't find Location.locators.ships" error messages as well, but they cause no trouble at all.

No, there is no "error.log" in my POTC directory <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
Not even after the problem occurs? And the game does remain working after the problem occurs, the interface just doesn't appear? I wonder if there is something wrong with your RESOURCE\INI\INTERFACES files. Please put the files in attached ZIP file in RESOURCE\INI and see if that solves anything. I don't dare hope for it, but it might work. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
I testet it right now, but it doesn't work. I wonder why it worked as I didn't installed Build 12.1 first. And now the other bugs are solved but I have new ones^^
 
So you didn't have these interface bugs when installing just Build 13 without installing Build 12.1 first? That is CRAZY! If you try installing Build 13 without putting in Build 12.1 first, are the interface problems solved again?

I really want to help, but I just can't figure out what could possibly be wrong. But apparently something IS wrong. Please don't give up: We'll keep trying to figure it out. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

I play a German version to and everthing works fine. I can set the controls to my liking ..completely free. My game misses only a loading screen. I can live with that.;)

But maybe there ia a trick to activate them?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Yes, it might be... this problem seems to be coming from the runme.bat . Try this : go in your PotC folders, then in RESOURCE\Textures\Loading , make shure there are six .tx files here, rename the 'ENGLISH' folder to something else, copy the 'GERMAN' folder, and rename the copy to 'ENGLISH'. Now load a game and see if you have the loading screens.
