​ERAS 2 is now fully translated to Portuguese! Many thanks to BinaryKommando! He single-handedly performed the entire translation and helped both introduce new game features, and debug many unrelated problems along the way.

Simple…go to Options, uncheck “Show Information about ships at sea” Now, you will no longer see your white bars decrease so rapidly and the enemy white bars stay strong…LOL

OK, serious answer…

Playing on Admiral, your enemies are going to be a bit more savvy. As such, they probably have a few of the ship perks that you will want to…[Read more]

There are not yet any Portuguese colonies. For now, there are just ship encounters/convoys.

I loaded every save from City of Abandoned Ships location (your files dated 4/13/2020) and I am able to fast travel to all locations: store, tavern, money lender, residence. I did not crash in 32 bit or 64 bit. If you load those same saves and try to fast travel, do you still crash?

If you do crash, maybe there was another bug that I have…[Read more]

You can send them to my email: [email protected]

The priority changes the CPU priority of the process and you can see this if you launch the Windows Task Manager to display the processes running on your computer. It simply means that the CPU will devote more of its computing resources to the game if it is set higher.

I have tried the fast travel in some cities, but did not crash. Maybe it is only certain locations, so if you get a crash in a certain place using fast travel, can you send me a save file for me to try?

The various options should not affect or prevent crashes, but can change the visual experience and some people might find them…[Read more]

I am pretty sure that the only thing realistic ships effects is what ships are available for purchase at the shipyards. I will ask Jeffrey to make certain but I am 95 percent certain I am right.

I wonder however, if we could develop another mod option toggle called single encounters that would cause the randomizer that chooses ships for…[Read more]

I’m unclear what you mean by “some uploads” crash? I do know there was a recent mistake, with some crashes in Maelstrom a couple weeks ago, but that was fixed. If you are still having crashes, can you describe when or how? Is it a particular save game? If so, can you send me the save file and describe how to reproduce the crash?

It is a feature of some of the Gunner bonus items; if you or your gunner have one of these items, the reticle changes to indicate that different shape and now you aim it directly at the ship that you want to fire, instead of needing to aim the upward trajectory to account for gravity. Now, you aim straight at the target and the guns will…[Read more]

Through some experimentation, I was finally able to replicate the stuttering ship on the world map; the only way I could cause that was by using fullscreen and VSynch at the same time. I do not yet know what to do about that. All other configurations (e.g. windowed + VSynch, without VSynch, etc.) seem to not produce that problem.

Falling masts…[Read more]

If it did “nothing” I suspect that you may have modified the wrong music_alias.ini. Check the start.ini for this setting:

aliasDirectory = Shanty

That value is the name of the folder for the music_alias.ini it will use.

RESOURCEINIShantymusic_alias.ini

Verify the folder indicated in start.ini is the same place for the edited file.

Not sure about that random guy showing up in the cabin…is there any way you have a save where this happened I could look at?

Also, even though MK and you found a workaround for the quest problem because of the “too fast” looting, I still consider that a bug and will see if I can either disable/delay the dialog and/or looting in the proper…[Read more]

Its in your ship GUI command tab that allows you to give commands to all of the ships in your squadron. So you can quick repair other ships than your own if your captain on that ship has the perk. There is light repair and quick repair. If you have them they will appear as a visual option left to right with others in the tab. For light repair it…[Read more]

That particular English Royal Navy blue squadron colors with the very small cross of Saint George canton appears in many paintings of actions between the English and Dutch in the 1660s through 70s. Here’s an example from the Battle of the Texel.

This has happened to me occasionally as well. It only happens when you kill the enemy captain with a fast combination and his body unintentionally opens for loot. (like one too many clicks that negate the walking to talk to the bride/groom). If you play through the battle again making sure not to click your mouse for any reason after the final…[Read more]

I just tried a couple of the Captive Groom quests and they worked out fine. Can you supply a compile.log and/or error.log when the dialog does not work and possibly even a save game where you’ve encountered the quest ship, but not yet boarded; a boarding save would be ideal?

OK, understood. Seems a relation problem. I will see if I can reproduce for myself.

That English sail is correct and is supposed to contain a small cross in the corner; by design and accurate.

You can change flags when you grant yourself the perk to do so. Then on the “Ships” screen, you can click a flag icon to display all available flags and choose an option.

As for the chaser guns cutting holes in the front sails, the…[Read more]

When you say you are “accosted” in pirate havens, do you mean they attack you? Or do they simply stop you periodically to tell you to “watch yourself?” If they attack, there is some error somewhere in your relations that might need attention/fixing. If they just stop to tell you stuff all the time, that is normal and has always been that way…[Read more]
