Trapped in the Alcove...

[JimM]

I deleted the earlier version of this post.

I am NO longer trapped in the alcove...

Started at an earlier save when I first landed on the Khael Roa Island and after I entered the first room, I waited for them to catch up to me, and both came up to me and started to talk, they decided to split up. (that didn't happen the first trip in) The first time... I just went charging in and never gave them a chance to talk to me, and they followed me into the mazes.

After the statue defeat, I was able to defeat the Black Pearl (That was a long battle), but the game ended with the movie, then the credits, and did not give me a chance to continue with the game. I watched the credits, and then,... GAME OVER! Ah well.... Such is life. I guess I could go back to the shore just before entering the sea battle (saved there). and defeat the BP again, and see what happens... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/poet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hmm" border="0" alt="poet.gif" />

Are you using Build 12.1? If you use the Build, it shouldn't be game over. That was one of the first mods that was modded to the stock game.

Yes, I am using Build 12.1 and I remember that even when I played this before and I was using Build 10.1 that I was able to play after the sinking of the Black Pearl.... I am not sure what happened.

When I finally destroyed the BP I saw the END movie (Which I believe is normal), and then after the movie, it went back to the game for just an instant, and I didn't get a chance to "touch" anything; but then the credits came on, and that was that. I will try to defeat the BP again to see what happens. Maybe it was one of those... Once in a blue moon glitches; <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" /> and it will work the 2nd time.

I DO have to admit; that while playing this game using Windows XP AND Build 12.1 the game NEVER Crashed to Desktop once. NEVER! and that was my BIG Complaint the last time I played this game. I would have CTD SO MANY TIMES, I swore I would never play it again... but I seen that build 12.1 was out, and I now had XP so... I am glad I took the chance.

MY only things that didn't work correctly with this game was (No big deal) The quick save key "*" DID NOT work. The screen would flicker and go black. Also, the quick load key "/" did not work. I tried to re map them, but the game would not allow this. Also, I could not shrink the game to desktop. The screen would go black, and the game would be playing in the background, but I could not "SEE" anything. These things didn't bother me too much, and I was just glad to play the game without CTD.

Very strange. During my play with Build 12.1 I saw end movie, then credits, but after that I came back to the ship, saw sinking Black Pearl and had an option to enter map...

Try defeat Black Pearl again. I believe it <u>must</u> work.

You can try using F5 and F9 as quicksave/quickload. Those used to be the controls, but they were changed to * and /. I just don't know when they were changed.

As for shrinking the game to desktop: You have to run in windowed mode; then it does work. You can change that with Config.exe in your main PotC folder.

I had tried F5 and F9 but they didn't work either. Those things didn't really bother me, as I just hit F1 and then the save button.

I didn't know that about running it in windowed mode. I will try that.

I Fought the BP again, and this time I was able to keep playing after I beat it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Before... during the battle, I went to my "cabin" and Danielle was there, and I had a converstaion with her... and I told her it was over between us. (Or words to that effect)... do you suppose that is why the game ended? This time, I DID NOT talk to Danielle at all. After the sinking of the BP in the movie, The credits started to roll, and I left clicked the mouse, and this stopped the credits, and then it just went back to the game. Now, I can take the old man back home!

I didn't even know you could say that to Danielle in the cabin. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
