Runtime Error ENGINE.exe

isa0005 · Dec 14, 2010

Hiya guys, i'm new to this mod and from i have seen it looks amazing, however I have as of yet been unable to play it due to an error i receive when trying to start up the game.

I have searched through this whole forum and it seems that there are only things that are similar to the problem i am having but nothing exact

Basically

When i start up the mod, the loading "box" you could call it pops up, it says that various paths to certain things cannot be found and then BAMthis error pops up saying

program: F:\Bethesda Softworks\Pirates of the Caribbean\ENGINE.exe

abnormal program termination

Now as you may have noticed I have the game installed on the "F" drive, which is my gaming drive with all my games on it, it is separate from my "C" drive which has all your standard PC stuff on it, I am also running Windows 7 32-bit and i'm running directX 11

My basic system specs are as follows
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Quad CPU @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs). ~2.4GHz
Memory:2048MBRAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS

Could you please help me, I would so love to play this mod as it seems to make what was once a bland and slightly repetitive game into something so much more
'
Thank you for you time and please respond only whenever is most convenient for yourself

I hate it when that happens. :j3

More information is needed. What install is it? Is it Build 14 beta 1? Did you run runme.bat? Did you install any patches, like patch 4? Did you run rename.bat?

There are other possible culprits, like ffdshow, and possibly needing to make an exception in DEP. I didn't know I had ffdshow installed until it caused problems.

isa0005 · Dec 15, 2010

I have installed all patches, i have clicked the rename.bat and that did noting. I have build 14

isa0005 · Dec 15, 2010

I have just recently uninstalled it all and i am also away from my own computer as well but i shall reinstall it all tomorow

Does the game work before installing the modpack?

yes it does

Hylie Pistof · Dec 16, 2010

Do you have Nero on your computer?

Also, there are some ideas in this thread. http://forum.piratesahoy.net/topic/16802-my-game-has-died/page__view__findpost__p__382094__hl__%2Bdata+%2Bexecution+%2Bprevention__fromsearch__1

Please "Enable Error Logging":
- Open "engine.ini" in your main game folder.
- Find the "debuginfo = 0" line and change it to "debuginfo = 1".
- Find the "runtimelog = 0" line and change it to "runtimelog = 1".
- Find the "tracefilesoff = 1" line and change it to "tracefilesoff = 0".
- Start the game and wait until the error occurs.
- Now find compile.log, system.log and the possible error.log in your main game folder.
- Post their contents here
It should look like this:

Code:

tracefilesoff = 0
[script]
debuginfo = 1
codefiles = 0
runtimelog = 1

im new here. but have you edited any of the program files. if you does something wrong with the program files the engine.exe wont work.....
if not: mabye install a lower verison of direct x. i had the same problem on another game... if that dont work: download build mod from another place... hope i helped :onya

Peter Blood · Mar 3, 2011

Bah! I used to get the same thing as you, and what was strange was the game was in Russian too (then I just installed it on a different pc)

I also get the same runtime when nearing cozomul on Assassin Quest and Hornblower quest when I start sailing on the indifagitable.

There was no such file. but there was a "run Me" file.
Wich I ran!

Hylie Pistof · Mar 17, 2011

Ah, you have not installed any patches yet.

3 Is it running now?

Beta 1 full is a bit buggy with no patches, so it is recommended to install patch 5 from here. http://forum.piratesahoy.net/index.php/topic/15382-build-14-beta-1/

Then there is the Christmas Ship Pack which can be found here. http://forum.piratesahoy.net/index.php/topic/17187-ship-pack-updates/

Captnine · Apr 17, 2011

Hello!

First time Build user in years (well, I played with the early version back in the days, but I think that doesn't count). Installed Beta 1 Full and Patch 5. I get this error:

I dont really get what is it miss.
Installed PotC to G:\Games\Pirates of the Caribbean, ran the config.exe, started the game, works fine.
Installed Build 14 Beta 1 with SwiftShader ran the bat file, I got this error message.
Realised that I do not want SwiftShader, reinstall, this time with ENB, but have the same error.
Installed Patch 5, ran its bat file as well, no change.
Added Christmas Ship Pack, same as ever.
Added exclusion to DEP, but did not helped. Nor the XP SP3 compatibility mode.
UAC Disabled.

Is there any else information that could help you to solve my problem?
Thanks.
