Alright I think I got the updates working, I had to Install the historical eras module through Itch not just the engine

Sorry for the stupid question

You can edit the toml files via the windows notepad if that is the problem

Well,

I saw that the client has put the latest Maelstrom update in the right folder as a whole so there were 2 of them. It says that the path is wrong or missing IIRC.

I deleted the old one and edited the paths so I can start the game from desktop but not the client. Or rather I can start it but not play anyway. What I think is that I need to…[Read more]

And dont forget to edit the shortcuts “start in” path so that it points to the gentlemen of fortune module folder(the main game files)

Its all in the pdf im just parroting what it says

There should be a Maelstromsetup.pdf in your maelstrom engine directory which explains it very well
You should stick with the folder names found in the pdf pictures for simplicity
In short there are multiple shortcuts in the engine directory (these are the ones the Itch app uses)
Find the ERAS shortcut and eras config example and edit it to point…[Read more]

Hi,

I cannot start via the app. When I try it shows a table to config a lot of games but I cannot do it. So what has gone wrong?

Hi,

The itch app does not seem to update the main game files even when i choose which version to install
Do i need to do a specific thing for it to work? I can launch the game through the app

Mr Knight,

those are nice muscle cars indeed. BTW, the ships are OK…

And now for something different, after last updates the annoying presence of NPC heroes at taverns their country is at war with has increased. AFAIU it should not be too hard to code it so that they do not unless they have a trading license in their inventory or extreme…[Read more]

Mr. Jeffrey,

it seems to be a different freeze problem, yes. The game freezes after going from world map to 3D-sailing when at harbour fairway, shore anchorage and/or when in battle. No of ships involved does not seem to have much influence.

I never experienced freezes connected to spyglass use.

THX for your attn.,

Oldtimer

I wonder if you are talking about a different symptom? The “freeze” I fixed with FMOD was fairly rare, usually involved use of the spyglass, or travel from/to worldmap. The game would hang, permanently, unresponsive.

Is that what you experience, where the game is permanently stuck? I was able to reproduce this eventually, but usually took me…[Read more]

Mr. Jeffrey,

my game freezes still, now and then. How can I check if my Maelstrom update was successful?

Rgds, Oldtimer

Mr. Jeffrey,

I clicked on update for Maelstrom in my itch.io library. After a while dling down left on Maelstrom it says updated. Is this the correct way to update?

Rgds, Oldtimer

Thank you

Maelstrom Update

Add character patch file name for log output during teleport failure

Crash fix for location

Game freeze due to FMOD fix

Yes, that problem was recently brought up and was fixed April 1. It is in this update: https://chezjfrey.itch.io/gentlemen-of-fortune-historical-eras-module-2/devlog/77022/eras-ii-update

I loaded your save, traveled to Ruin and the soldiers are there now.

Get the update and you should be fine.

Hi,

I fired up the game again after a long time and ran into a buggy quest

This is a pirate propositon quest: Gold from portugal,the one when you have to fight on the beach. The location is Bermuda, Ruin shore
When I land on the shore, there is no fight I think the enemies are not spawning in and my character is simply locked in the beach
I can…[Read more]

When landing on the beach between Campeche and Caracas on the Spanish Main, and travelling on foot, I can enter the next cell from the beach, but I cannot go further inland since the two exits from that cell do not work.

Also, while travelling on foot inland, it seems Fighters do not follow into certain cells. It happened to me outside…[Read more]

I don’t know why I bother putting these up anymore. Anyway – here are some of the additions in the upcoming huge patch. Yo HO Ho/Reese on PA! gave us his beautiful Peregrine Galley. There is a military RN variant with more guns rated as a small frigate and another with only a few guns that is a small English merchantman. Also the black Snow/Snauw…[Read more]

RE: SKILL ITEMS

Hi all,

many skill items give same benefits while differing in price and/or feeling of exclusivity.

I would like to re-scale their skill points values to say something like 5; 10; 15 and so on. Where and how can I do that?

BTW, do companions benefit from leadership items or any items at all?
