Tortuga Gravyard Crashing?

[Eric Dreadgrin]

I'm not sure if I'm the only one to be experiencing this, but EVERY time I try to enter, the game freezes and then I crash.
Is there anyway to fix this?

[Dr. Zeppers]

You may need to uninstall/reinstall the game.
Sounds to me like a corrupt file somewhere.

Your pirates are stored at potco, you will not lose anything but the time spent.

[Eric Dreadgrin]

Ok, thank you very much!
Could you direct me to the download page for the tester server?
If you don't have it, I could possibly find it.

Not sure about that one. I assumed you were talking about regular open server play. If this is not something typical, it might be a bug you should be reporting (on test).

[Eric Dreadgrin]

Ok, well I uninstalled it and found it again, so I reinstalled it, so I'm going to get on it now.
If it does it again, I'll report it.

My friend has a sailing problem, when he goes sailing he crashes. (Not on test server)

Have friend make sure video drivers are as up to date as possible.


Check out this thread for a configuration change to the "game_options.txt" file that many find helpful.

Ok, well I keep crashing when I enter other parts of an island now.
Like when I try to go into a cave of some sort, I crash..


Would following the instructions in that link above help me also?

[Dr. Zeppers]

Maybe Eric, im not familiar with "test" process. Have you tried contacting support?

[Eric Dreadgrin]

I haven't tried contacting support, yet. I'll save that for when I'm desperate.
I did follow the instructions in that one thread, it did reduce lag for me.. but I still crashed..
Do you have some other suggestions?

[Dr. Zeppers]

if using Vista, try "pandadx10" instead of "pandadx9" (if thats what you tried)

[Andrew]

sounds like your CP cant handle the game, does it usually lag bad?

[Eric Dreadgrin]

I RARELY get lag, it only happens if I'm usually on an Instant Messaging thing and I get a new IM, such as AIM or MSN at the same time.

And I didn't do it that way, Zeppers, I just lowered the hardware acceleration.
Should I try the one bellow the first post?

[Andrew]

turn everything on low, like special effects and everything. And I lag all the time, so much, im actually used to it LOL.

[Eric Dreadgrin]

I'll do that right now, I'll edit this post to tell the results.

IT WORKED!
THANK YOU SOO MUCH!
