Hullo all,
I've just come back to PotC after rediscovering it on the shelf and put New Horizons on at the same time - fantastic work! I'm amazed at how different the game is. Recently though I've been having some problems with the traders, in that I can't get any missions from them to take cargo somewhere as the option doesn't appear in their dialogue.
I've previously done some milk runs for 500,000 so was a little miffed when this avenue of gain was closed to me. However reading other threads on here it seems there's much that can be reset from the console. Is there a way of telling the traders I'm actually available for a mission? I think I failed one because though I'm friendly with the Dutch, when I went to Philipsburg I was always blown out of the water by the fort, no matter what flag I chose and if I tried to get across from Marigot then the mysterious gun emplacements always snuffed me out.
I've also been told by one of the monks that I need to find one of his brethren on Saint Pierre, but having looked all around I can't find him anywhere and I'm stuck with a cross that doesn't seem to do anything. Actually two crosses as while trying to give one back I was given another! I found a thread about removing it from the inventory - is that the best solution?
In the last couple of tries I haven't been able to board successfully as my chap just stands there and no keys except sidestep work and the fast travel only has a red cross. There are no enemy crewmen and the Captain is inaccessible at the far end of the ship. I've tried adding a few lines to the console as mentioned in another thread and executing it with F12, but it makes no difference.
Many thanks for any replies and overall what excellent fun this updated PotC is!

mate!
The boarding battles are still bugged. IMO that happens mostly with large ships. Boarding battles often CTD too. Not looting corpses seems to help with CTDs, but when one is just plain stuck the only thing left to do is start over from the last save.
