Flags!

They are bungled up, John Julian flies now French colours, de Sotomayor English and so on.

AI ships fly correct colours and the game recognizes my true allegiance in spite of the colours I fly.

Attempt to change flag results in black screen and game not responding so the only remedy is using the task Manager to go back to desktop.

Leveling

As you know I`m all for unleveled game worlds. I have now played with leveled and unleveled items and my conclusion is, as you might have guessed, that there are pros and cons for both approaches.

1. Leveled would be OK with some releveling of pistols. I would have blunderbuss, Cookson snubnose and Alsatian pistolette available at…[Read more]

Your solutions work, THX.

Another thing, I had problems with a magic foam ball in the water in front of ships, mine and AI. Sometimes it followed me on land… Souls ruined by me?
Anyway it seems I nailed it down. If anti-aliasing is unticked in config screen, the balls disappear, 32 and 64 vers. Permanently I hope.
Now,…[Read more]

Movement Control

So, I reinstalled 32 bit and what happens is:

– game works normally until I quit to desktop. Starting after quitting from a save I can only run straight forward. Using keyboard or mouse does not matter. I can jump forward by pressing “s” letter on keyboard. Never seen that before.

Game is unplayable for me as of now.…[Read more]

Re loss of movement control.

Installed 64 ver on Win7 64 and movement works.

BUT I cant start config.exe because its “side by side configuration is faulty”. What now?

Loss of movement control.

Hi all,

after installing latest Loyalty update and VC Runtimes for 32 bit I can no longer control my chars direction. Only movement is straight forward.

I run GoF 32 bit on Win7 64 bit.

Mr. Jeffrey,

THX for your attn.

Abt. pirates being able to go anywhere because of assumed very high stealth, is that too difficult to change to realistic lvl?
Meaning that yes, sometimes he can risk it and go anywhere but can be caught.
A task for player could be turning in the bstd to the authorities if he can disclose his true identity. After…[Read more]

Hi all,

checked out for more inconsistencies re relations as per 2. above and:

– what is de Huidobro doing in an english tavern while Spain is at war with England? Checked with F10 and he was in spanish service.

– how come that Mlle. Delahaye is bound for Santiago while a pirate? Also checked with F10.

Merchants/passengers from hostile nations…[Read more]

Hi all,

dear devs, let`s face it, take a break from new features. Improve on what is already being worked on or is already in game but inactive.
As an immersionist I `m very much concerned with consistency and logics. If I repeat myself here I apologize in advance. Righty:

1. Enable choices already present in dialogues, like passers-by wishing…[Read more]

Mr. Jeffrey,

THX for your attn.

If one factor in determining pistol choice is reload speed even if no reload is possible(not without sheathing your blade while in combat) perhaps it could/should be discarded?

Or would it be simpler to have an override so that NPC:s always give up any of their stuff to the player when requested to do…[Read more]

Hi all,

perhaps wrong thread but anyway:

– how can I force officers to change items according to my idea abt. their loadout?

Why do I want this? NPC:s seem to choose their weapons according to DPS, not price. Good? Yes, as long as you play with autoreload where reload speed greatly affects firearms DPS. Not good at all if you play without…[Read more]

Mr Jeffrey,

I got a crash but cannot create a dumpfile. The message is “Access denied”.

Rgds, Oldtimer

I run AMD also and do encounter anomalies.

Rgds, Oldtimer

Mr. Jeffrey,

been away from home a few days. Back now and played just a little with no crashes.

Hope I`ll have something for you “soon”.

Rgds, Oldtimer

I`ve seen that too. Also a vertical border dividing the monitor at the horizon.

Rgds, Oldtimer

Mr. Jeffrey,

I see no link to your latest Loyalty update above. I looked at Loyal members but saw nothing. Sry to be such a bother.

Rgds, Oldtimer

STABILITY

For every update the game becomes more unstable for me, little by little. As of now I get CTD:s abt. once/hr. Mostly when trying to save.
It ran very stably when I started playing some months ago. Practically no crashes at all.

Anyone else seen that?

Rgds, Oldtimer

Hi all,

how to take screenshots and where will the game store them?

Rgds, Oldtimer

Hi all,

after I installed the latest updates I noticed something strange with foam generated by a ship on the move. It is visible as a small ghostly ball when still and after hoisting sail it changes to, well, some kind of moustaches wandering to and fro across the deck.

Anyone else seen that?

Rgds, Oldtimer

Hi all,

after installing latest updates I noticed that a fully loaded ship with low nav skill is so slow in 3D-mode that fighting becomes almost impossible. World map speed seems to be unaffected.
When I chucked the cargo overboard the speed increased significantly and it was possible to fight.

In ships interface these different speeds showed…[Read more]
