still crashing a lot for me.


Strange, I haven't had a single crash in the Trader campaign since patching - used to get them quite frequently.

Patch seems to fix crashing.. introduces infinite loading loop. So it's basically the same on my desktop, awesome.

This is a known issue that affects certain dual core CPUs only and will be fixed shortly.

UPDATE: It is already fixed in the 1.1.0.24502 version released on Steam today.

Infinite loading is some problem with dual cores.. fixed in a patch skidrow is unlikely to release until 1.2 Sad

Hmm I have the same problem as this guy posts on the Piratebay:

Reagent9 på 2012-05-05 02:53 CET:
When i install i get this... any solutions? "The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."

So I do a search for the problem and finds this on the devs site:

Heyy, when i try to install the 1.1 patch... I get this error, wtf?
"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."
Bump.. omg someone help :/

This happens when the initial game installation is faulty. Where did you purchase the game from? There's always the chance of faulty downloads or a download portal modifying the version of the game provided by us which leads to the aforementioned problem with applying updates.

Already tried a couple of things including that. Seems wise to wait for a patch or two more, so ill just wait and see. Read on the forums that Pirates are so rare that people thought they where not in free mode :/

if you set affinity just on single core in task manager there is no infinite loop, and no performance drop

Amusingly this seems to work fine. Port Royale uses around 13% of my x2 550; have to wonder why they bothered multithreading it in the first place Laughing
Good find.

edit: Well.. mostly works. Crashed about 30 minutes in rather than 3 minutes.

For me this game crashes all over the place and even more further ingame.

@Mafste
Did you use that keygen that is included with the 1.1 patch or you used the cracked exe?

It seems whenever i block this game with windows firewall it isnt blocked correct because its still connecting to their servers, when i disconnect the internet it works with the key from the keygen. And i think its crash free this way.

Edit: Found this program to block, works on w7

Boy those pre-set trade route "types" are broken as fuck. I've been wrangling with it for close to an hour trying to get it to go to 3 towns efficiently to restock my rum brewery in Port Royal.

Either he'll go and buy pitiful amounts of supplies (like 5 sugar, 5 wood), or it'll sail to a town, sit there doing fuck all, and turn the trade route off by itself. Rage!

On my i7 the game doesn't crash at all, not once over 12 hours. I didn't block anything.

I think the game just has 'issues' with certain configurations.

No tricks, no crashes. 1.1 patch though.

Anyway, doesn't this just seem like a rather cheap Patrician-wannabe? Worse in all measurable ways? Only played for an hour or so, but the feature set is almost identical, but inferior, to that of the two latest Patrician games.

Seems like they are trying to make easy money by doing this, they certainly haven't made much improvement to either series.. very sloppy.
That said, some prefer Port Royale to Patrician, I myself have never played Patrician but I guess I don't need to now?

Is there something specific that makes Patrician a better game than Port Royale 3? I find Port Royal extremely simple but also addictive. I'd be happy to switch over to Patrician 4 if it has a bit more substance though.

Yeah, who the fuck cares about this shit. I read somewhere on the forums that steam users couldnt even start the game and they are all using the NOCD executable lol

I fucking hate how every game isnt ready when it gets released lately...
