Yes, it bears repeating. I think MK and I discovered this was essential for his stability (though I didn’t seem to have this problem running the same Win7 he does). We added it to the SetupNotes.txt in the Update.zip, but it can certainly be repeated often for anyone experiencing problems. Set the compatibility to XP. So far, that setting has…[Read more]

Here’s the new logo for GOF ERAS2. What do you think mates?

It still looks great Orazio! Did you intentionally hide your post? Because I think the site might have done that because the tab to “unspam” came up.

I have no experience in actually rigging sails other than changing sails around from other models. Its something on my list to learn this year as we have some nice models that would look better…[Read more]

Thanks for the feedback sch92! Really appreciate it. To show my appreciation as the first guy to provide feedback I guarantee that I will personally send you any links to new updated content that has been bug tested that we are developing privately.

Thanks for the sentiments Dennis. It appears we were correct about that topic over there. It was just a BS trolling tactic. I think its funny how they can troll us – but do it from the safety of their own website. I didn’t realize such a thing could exist LOL! It just went downhill fast and when people tried to bring it back on topic (in a civil…[Read more]

WOW Congratulations! I set the rarity pretty high on that although I have seen it in markets before for an unfathomable sum. I consider it one of the best easter eggs in the game. To find it naturally in a chest would be like winning the lottery. To my knowledge you are the first person to acquire it. I have never got it myself.

I also see that…[Read more]

I don’t think so…if you’re worried, maybe store your current Programs folder aside to check first? Just rename Program folder, copy over the update and check by loading/saving a game. I’m pretty sure there’s no conflict, though.

New update. Fixes the occasional missing sail-to for some shores/towns. Longstanding bug in the game, that the newer compiler accentuated/exacerbated. Was a problem with ‘undefined behavior’ for a certain un-initialized variable.

Well, It just seems inevitable that the PA! people would continue to be unkind. Someone brought up that our new mod was published over there. So I decided I would respond here because then those who read their very one sided view of things can see the rest of the story here. So this is a sort of BUMP really, but I want to say a few things to…[Read more]

#1: Using your same ship, that same tent spot, I see it. Unfortunately, I’m still not sure what the cause is. Right now, it looks to be purely a difference somewhere in DX9 handling, vs. DX8, since my code is identical in all respects save the mandated DirectX version differences, but I am unsure where to start looking. Unsure of the root…[Read more]

Don’t ever make me do this again!

I have a working/compiling copy of the original source given me; it didn’t have this issue. So I made another copy of that, then started applying my changes, module by module, compile after each module update, then launch and check the results…until I got the problem you describe. Bizarre…you know what it…[Read more]
