Your experiences from playing Build 13 full.

I hear what you say about power supply probs, been there b4 <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> but this is a newish system and it only happens with build 13 POTC <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> cos i then went back to build 12.1 from the start and did another 24 hours of gameplay, had to have my fix lmao. By the way i then re-installed build13 with the latest patch early this morning, played for an hour only on Oxbay, set sail and captured the French Battleship with no probs, i then used that to board the next french ship and hey presto the whole computer crashed again, yet another disc check b4 windows fired up again. This time i had no other ships, very little gear no companions and no other quests completed apart from the tutorial ones.... All mods on and set for realism, coast raiders set to few requiring talking to citizens first, building mods on. I kept my building-h settings and the save game this time <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> but fear going back to try again given the terminal nature of the crashes, gives me a heart attack every time !!!!!

Hi, Nosie. No freezing? You have buildings set off, I have them set in, maybe it could be some clue for some problems with freezing ? And what about boarding and taking ships with patch 1? Everything works well for you here? No problems? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> Rad,
NO FREEZING anywhere, not on the new islands or anywhere else!
Since I'm playing Arcade and Buildingset off, I'm thinking of having
a go at the real sailingstuff and BS on next time round!
I'm still playing savegames at the moment. Installed the latest
update pressed F11 and it works well, no need to start a new game!

Nosie, what about boarding and capturing ships in update 1? Alright? And what about this Amsterdam? Is it here? And please, could you go to Redmond tavern and sleep there and try open the chest in room upstairs? Does it work well for you? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> there, long time no see.

I just want to pay my respect to all involved in the current Build Mod.
I once was "more active" here a long time ago and can say without a doubt: This is the BEST incarnation of the game EVER. OK it can be tweaked and optimised here and there like always but it was such a HUGE Task you all undertook to make the community happy. I could not belive what you have accomplished and after the dissapointing AoS i finally found my home again. New islands, ships, skins (By God even my old navy Uniforms are still in <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" /> ), textures, trade and economy, just unbelivable.

Well and besides that I found no bug or freeze since my first time with this Mod. (Just for information, I play without the building Mod off and with arcade style, shame on me) But I only played till the end of the oxbay occupation till now. Again many thanks from me, for creating my personal carribean treasure home. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" /> cheers

welcome back to PotC - i agree that this version is the best yet, and i agree that it also needs some 'tweaking' to finish it of properly <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
I'm trawling through all the games text files currently, as these have got a little mashed in places(and actualy some of the stock text was poor or confusing). Anyway glad your enjoying it and hope you stick around and want to get involved again <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
that's great hook! thx a lot. i was wondering for ages what it was. i'll buy it myself, cos i can, and cos i don't think that my father would.

Boarding/capture same as before, have not noticed any difference. No Amsterdam as yet, as I still
play a Savegame and I have to check the box next time I get there and will let you know <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Further to my above reply, I checked the chest in Redmond Tavern and did not find any problems.
I started a new game with Buildingset enabled and had no crashes so far. Where do I find the
'AMSTERDAM'? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
We don´t talk about crashing the game but rather about freezing for about 30 -60 second mostly and Amsterdam is new ship. Pieter talked she is in update 1 if I understood it well. I don´t know where is she. Maybe somewhere on the sea or in Dowseen shipyard... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
 
The "Amsterdam" is in the Build 13 update 1. It is called Spielretourship or something along those lines as "Amsterdam" is not a type of ship. If you have gm_viewer, you can look at the model and texture. If you play long enough, you should run into it. I can't remember if it is set to Dutch only or not. I did not set it that way when I sent the file, but Pieter may have changed it to make it more historically accurate. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Hi, Doober. What type of ship Amsterdam is in the game? How many cannons, what caliber, and max speed? It is probably rather merchant ship than war ship, isn´t it? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> Rad,

I am at work right now so I don't have all the specs on it. You can look at them in the ship_init.c file. It is a merchant ship with pretty substantial firepower. I believe is around 44 12lb guns. I have modded all my cannons in my game to fit more historically, so mine is set to 9lb cannons, but I think default is 12lb. The stats are very similar to the Indiaman that Capt Hawk put into the game, so if you've ever sailed or fought that ship, you should have a good idea of what to expect. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Thanks for information. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" />

Found the Amsterdam! I put her in the Start menu by replacing her for one of
the ships in InternalSettings.h. So next time I play, I will use her as my Startship!
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> nearly forgot: You have to use the name Amsterdam! She resides under that
name in ships_init.c <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
Damn...I had to start over becuse I couldnt land any place near Cuba...or get in a storm or fight...without the gamme crashing....I never thought to change me ship to a tour brage ! Dammit...I already been to cuba...I aint risking another start.

I added the Amsterdam into Update 1. You should encounter her occasionally. The ingame shipname is "Spiegelretourschip". I set her as my starting ship and that worked just fine.
 
As I am proceeding further with playing my game crashes very often now and blue screen appears. I can use older or newer version of my game and I can play without update 1 or with it, it seems to me all the time the same lately. But my computer practically never crashes if I play something different or do some work on it. It´s strange. For that reason I ordered another third version of the game, this time it will be US version dirrectly from USA. I will have it to disposition in the course of about 14 day. I hope it will be working better for me that my original English version that were issued in my country. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
 
That is very odd, Rad. I have only had one crash and that was when I attempted to land at Santiago in Cuba, which is an already known bug. I have put it quite a bit of time recently. I wonder if you are having some sort of hardware problem. I haven't seen anyone else experiencing the problems you are having. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Hi, Doober. As you could read I have no problems with my computer or hardware or anything. Just now I almost played out Gothic 3 to the end, one of the most demanding game that exists this time and without any problems. I have played it hundreds and hundreds hours. So, yes it is strange, very strange for me. What version of game do you use English European or US version ? As I could find out various games have various antipirate protections in itself. I am from Czech republic and our country is infamous lately with its severe and harmful protection of games. As I wrote already here I have two original English versions of the game that were issued in our country and even these ones differ what about arrangement of files on CDs concerns. So, maybe original English versions issued in US, Englad or in some other western Europe countries differ from my version of the game what about antipirate protection concerns, I really don´t know. For that reason I ordered a new version direrctly from US this time. Or maybe there is still something wrong in this Build 13 and some people have problems and some people doesn´t have problems, again, I don´t know. But I know the most people don´t have any problems with it. I always played older Builds with my current games and I didn´t have any substantial problems with them what about crashing concerns. I think if something would be wrong with my computer, Gothic 3 or Neverwinter Nights 2 would crash almost immediatelly, or some crashing would appear in the course of any work on it. But nothing similar happens with my computer. Anyway I am very confused about all of that lately and I am quite sad when I have to restart my computer every 15 minutes approximately while playing PoTC. But anyway I can still proceed somehow even in these unpleasant conditions. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
