Download them all: ERAS2.6.7z.001 through ERAS2.6.7z.012.

Make an empty folder for the game (Example C:ERAS2) Right click ERAS2.6.7z.001, choose 7-zip/Open archive and from there, extract to C:ERAS2). You should see in the archive, upon opening with 7-zip, modules folder, Program folder, RESOURCE folder, fmod.dll, start.exe, config.exe…[Read more]

Yes, Vincent is correct. If you use 7zip, and right-click to open archive of the first, #1 file, it actually opens the entire set of files for extraction. You don’t have to do them separately, one at a time.

This sort of change should be doable. I’ll run it by MK and perhaps we can work it into the game where some types of bonus items work while either on-person, or in chest, while others require on-person…depending on their nature (i.e. book vs. ‘charm’…so to speak).

I’ve always thought the requirement to keep bonus items on your person was to force some judiciousness on the player’s part, and if certain bonuses were desired, but weight limit starts to constrain, well, then some sacrifices must be made.

However, I’m not entirely averse to the idea of certain items still empower the bonus from cabin chest. I…[Read more]

I want that booty!

@ Vincent, You might want to consider getting an optimizer utility. I’ve used a bunch of different ones over the years. NVIDIA themselves used to have a great one. The one I use now is embedded in my paid full AVG suite and is called Turbo mode. If its a good one it will allow you to tune and tailor what things/programs/services will be…[Read more]

The game has always been like that, and it’s not real intuitive, but you can enter the cabin. I suppose I can look into changing the behavior. Anyway, here’s what to do:

If you notice, if you loot nobody/nothing, there is an icon in the upper right to indicate the default, fast action is to enter the cabin and space bar activates such. When…[Read more]

You can. But if you just got the recent Update, I believe the start.exe and module/*.dll files in the Update.zip and EngineUpdate.zip are the same at this point, so it may be irrelevant. But it won’t hurt either, since it will simply overwrite the exact same files.

I occasionally update just the executables, and like to keep a smaller file,…[Read more]

Yes, following Maltacus’ advice, after unzipping all the .001-.012 files into an empty/blank directory for the game, then unzip Update.zip and copy/overwrite into those same folders you just unzipped from the multipart-archive. This will apply all the later fixes/changes from that initial base set of files and that should do it.

Update almost complete. One more day until full download goes to Jeffrey. I have to travel north on the 6th so this is my last day to get the last little things in this batch of stuff – ITS HUGE – and I hope people realize how many hundreds of hours have gone into it and the sacrifice of one of my best friends in the process who I would never have…[Read more]

Ran into these while doing some research on Spanish websites. HOT HOT HOT!!!

Alexander,

Thanks! If only there were more like you. Much more would have been completed long ago.

Don’t know how many we’ll do or get, but DeathDaisy said she might do some more, now that hers works; she had to severely deduct the detail to get her model in New Horizons. I asked her to give me the ‘good’ one to see what’s up and now that it works, we can have that one. I was then informed of the already existing masked guy and of course that…[Read more]

Not really an update that affects much in the game presently, but since the dawn of this game’s time, large polygon character models used to crash POTC/COAS…no longer.

Typical characters in the game, have roughly 1,500 to 2,000 Verts. This masked character has 10,000+, Ciri, a new model from DeathDaisy at PA!, has just under 15,000. They both…[Read more]

Its funny because Jeffrey and I had already discussed this very thing in just the recent past. Part of what our legal team has done is quantify what is public domain and what is our owned content. This is why future packaging of our gaming offerings will be in two part downloads. The new MAELSTROM game engine itself and all of the exclusive self…[Read more]

It sounds like a mismatch of .exe/.dll/program files, but I’m not sure.

I did try making a new, empty game directory for myself, then loaded the base, Update.zip, then the EngineUpdate.zip (in that order), just to be sure the actual downloads are OK (and that I didn’t mix them up), and that worked for me just fine. But, my machine is Win7.

I…[Read more]

I put a start.ini at:

How am I not surprised to learn Win10. It is the bane of my existence. Since I don’t have it, I can only offer some guesses for solution:

Set compatibility to WinXP.
Set to ‘Run as administrator’

Log files are compile.log, error.log (sometimes doesn’t exist) and system.log and are found the same place as the start.exe. You may have to enable…[Read more]

The only time I’ve ever seen the .dll modules not load, is if they happen to be the old, original COAS ones because they are incompatible.

First, if using the download parcels for the entire base, make sure to apply the Update.zip over it.

If that does not cure, then try applying EngineUpdate.zip over. However, the Update.zip and…[Read more]
