@Jeffrey, Megaprime

Gentlemen,

THX for you help. I will be travelling for abt. 10 days from now without comp and net access. So I will come back to the issue when I am home again.

Mr. Jeffrey,

the Maelstrom ERAS shortcut has Place: DirectX9_32bit so your Target and Start in will not work there as they are 64-bit.

My working desktop shortcuts are from the 64-bit folder and look like this for Maelstrom:

– Target:…[Read more]

No, the problem is that I do not know how to edit the thing. Reading instructions is one thing, understanding them another completely. And I installed ERAS module by itch.

Rgds, Oldtimer

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]

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?

Rgds, Oldtimer

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

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?

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?

Rgds, Oldtimer

RE.: MUSKET VOLLEY

Hi all,

this perk is badly designed. You or your Bosun must have God of Death perk before they can take Musket Volley. Thing is that the Chief Gunner also must have GoD to get some other perks. So some skill points get wasted, one way or another.
I suggest that Musket Volley perk is reassigned to Chief Gunner.

Mr. Jeffrey,

THX for your attn.

Mr Jeffrey,

I am trying to manually dl ERAS but it fails constantly. Do not know if the problem is on itch`s side but I thought i might as well let you know here.

Rgds, Oldtimer

Hi all,

Cornish lugger is it the pink in Ships.init?

Hi Filipe,

what does that mean? Is it connected to “Pirates Proposition” or something else?

Rgds, Oldtimer

Mr. Jeffrey,

there are some things I do not understand:

– I see no multi-board perk though there is a multi-board engine mod,

– I cannot duel any insulter in tavern or a cheeky trader. What do duel/insult changes do? BTW, it would be nice to duel hero chars saying I am no match for some “head-slashers”. And killing them, for real…(i e removed…[Read more]

SHIP Crashing

Looks like companion ships crash again while in harbour. They do for me anyway and receive significant dam to rigging.
