High Seas Problem

[Johnny Bull]

I had to back down to the 8.432 ATI display drivers. The 2 newest ATI drivers wouldn't let me sail either. Im running an ATI X1950 Pro video card and XP. You can get these drivers on ATI's website. These drivers will only work on ATI video cards! Check the drivers release notes for your cards compatibility with the 8.432 drivers.

Good Luck,
Johnny

yea like 90% of crashes are due to vid cards sadly

I think its more of a driver issue. It may help if you give at least this info:

1. Operating System (ex. Vista, XP, Mac...)
2. CPU Speed and Type (ex. 2.4 Ghz Intel Dual Core...)
3. Memory (ex. 1.0 Ghz or 512 Mhz...)
4. Video Graphics Type/Driver (ex. Radeon ATI X1950XT/8.432, Nvidia 7900GT/174.16...)
5. Sound Card (ex. Soundblaster Audigy 2...)
6. Computer Model (ex. Dell, HP, Custom Built...)

This may help us make sure we are comparing apples to apples, pardon the pun. This can be then be passed on to POTCO, ATI, Nvidia... for a fix.

I have Ati card too and same problem. On windows you can try change 'api' paramter from 'default' to 'pandadx9' in game_options.txt in POTCO game directory. I think OpenGL support of Ati cards to buggy, but on my computer directx woking well. See instructions here : http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/f...20202#poststop

That's okay. It happens to me all the time. But my dad's laptop is really fast, so when I play pirates on his, it never crashes. If you have DELL then I don't know why, because I have DELL. But it's a laptop.
