Pirates of the Caribbean: New Horizons - Build 14 Beta 1 Full

Description

The Build goes BETA at last! This file is to be installed on top of the original game - no previous modpack editions necessary. It contains all the latest fixes and updates.

Being a Beta, there will still be issues. Please help us find and solve them by posting them on the PiratesAhoy! bug tracker. And make sure to save often! If you encounter any random problems or crashes, usually reloading your savegame will get you through properly.

Installation order:
1 - Install Build 14 Beta 1 Full, following the instructions in the installer and allow it to run RunMe.bat
2 - OPTIONAL: Tweak the controls and the game's settings to your liking in the Options menu
3 - Start a new game, select a storyline and ENJOY!

Tips:
- If you have Windows Vista, DON'T install the game to Program Files; security measures tend to prevent the modpack from installing correctly
- !!!SAVE OFTEN!!!
- Check out the controls in Documentation\Default Key Assignments.txt
- The game tends not to work if:
. You have an Intel Onboard Graphics Card - workaround with SwiftShader, included in install
. You use ffdshow and don't have the game added to your "exception list"

Please note that the installer gives you two choices of alternative renderers but the descriptions appear to be reversed. These are experimental (Swiftshader to fix Intel graphics card issues and ENB a more advanced renderer) so for best results, stick to the standard mode (no graphics options checked) unless you're in a beta test mood.
