I solved the issue. It was indeed an outdated Maelstrom. Now there are no more crashes.

Hello Everyone.

So i still have the crush. Do i need to re-install Maelstrom or what?

Hi all,

started a new playthrough and atm it WAD:s. Older playthroughs did not rectify themselves though. Your passengers will, however, complain abt. late arrival(thus you will know their destination) so it`s not game-destroying but annoying as you know what…

I have an issue in the new update. The game crash after a while. Anyone having this issue or knows how to fix it?

Passenger destination.

As of now only one passenger is shown with his destination in the logbook. Other passengers present onboard lack this info and do not show in the logbook at all.

Dear devs,

upgraded ERAS yesterday and would like to know if there are new and/or reskinned ships added. I see some I do not recognize and they look gorgeous!

THX awfully for your hard work and dedication!

I really liked the French shanties. Sadly there’s too few… I found on Youtube over 15 French shanties. I think its a very good idea if you guys would add it for the French.

Is there any way to change Blackbeard’s Hair? I really want to play him with Black hair. Not a wig…

Workaround: strip your operational cannons to hold, buy missing and install. My zabra now has 2-6-6-4 layout. None in the hold.

Cannon Control.

Bought 2 culverins to replace lost ones on my zabra. When I try to install them they stay in the hold and cannon layout changes to 6 per broadside and 4 stern.

Well, that might(?) explain things. I “changed” flag to English which the French thought fishy. I could tell the guards that I flew English flag though… Anyway when under Spanish flag which I “flew” on being washed ashore I was friendly to Spanish patrols but not city guards.
I did not think abt. entering a French settlement…[Read more]

That did it, many thanks Jeffrey.

Find the following lines and comment out the if( and the closing brace } lines like this:

//#20190113-03
//if(!CheckAttribute(arItm, "skipPerkCheck")) {
chref.model = GetSubStringByNum(chref.HeroModel, sti(arItm.model));
//#20180103-02 Hero animation extension
if (CheckAttribute(chref, "HeroAnim"))…[Read more]

The shore chosen is not fully random. I actually give the player a better chance, as it would suck to wind up an English character, stuck on Saint Martin, with only the enemy Dutch town of Marigot. So how it works:

It will only choose shores on islands with colony nations that match whatever Flag perks your character can fly. However, the game…[Read more]

Nation relations.

Sailing for England as Mary Harvey I survived a sinking. My Nation relations are neutral with all. Still I was attacked as an enemy agent by the French upon entering a French city. Spaniards are friendly though…
Had no ship by that time so I could not fly a flag.

I got a crash on starting when I tried changing the characterutilite.c. Could you show exactly how it is supposed to look?

The change is in charactersCharacterUtilite.c, function void SetEquipedItemToCharacter(ref chref, string groupID, string itemID).

Find the line: if(!CheckAttribute(arItm, “skipPerkCheck”)) {

The gloves, girdle and boots have the skipPerkCheck attribute, so they fail the ‘if’ test. If you want them to be considered, remove the if {} block…[Read more]

Confirmed this is a mistake for the ship init. Will be fixed in next upload update for ERAS.

The common brigantine (SHIP_BRIGANTINE), beautiful and nimble little vessel, has 16 cannons and 7 cannons on the side when you look at it but is incorrectly coded to have only 14 and 6 on the side in ships_init.c.
