How many inhabitants does the hanseatic league have at the moment in your current game?

46,960

I have had Expeditions where nothing was traded, even with 5 stars in the Mediterranean town. I tried bringing less with me (like 400 of the two resources), and still nothing got traded.

Hello,

I have version 1.2.2 in Spanish, I registered and I update the launcher, but I updated the game to version 1.3?
Can you help me and say I have to do or where I can download the update patch 1.3 in Spanish.

I await your comments and thank you very much and since

Hi!
The Spanish version is released as version 1.3!?
A re-installation might help you.

Regards, Daan

It should state the version at the bottom righthand corner of the game.

Dear Gabriel74sj,

ensure your PC has an internet connection and the game will update automaticly when starting the launcher. There is no 'special' patch for a spanish version and there are no 'stand-alone' patches. So, you will not be able to download any patch by yourself.

Kind regards,
Daan

Isn't PIV (ESP-Version) released as 1.3? Did you mixed up the version no. of the launcher and the game? Did you used any illegal files?

Hi!
That is definitely not correct.

Definitely IS correct.

If you are refering to the Patrician IV version without the add-on(!) you are right, but with the expansion (RoaD) it will work 100% correctly!
You are able to mod your game if you have a version including RoaD.
Besides, this is not a bug. European players without the expansion aren't able to mod too.

Furthermore, modding is a special service provided by us (GMinds) additional to your product. So, I think it is kind of unfair blame Kalypso or us if you're not able to mod your game.

I wrote to you in the 'Modding'-thread:

In addition, I think I've seen a RoaD-Version available in the U.S. on the internet...

Kind regards, Daan

I apologize. After your explanation, I see that not being able to modify the base game is not really a bug. But admit it: we both didn't know that this was the case until further testing proved it.

I do, however, fully disagree with the point of view that modding is a "bonus" to the game. My expectation for modability had me thinking that there was a bug when I couldn't modify the game, but I now see that this is really just a philosophical difference. (Map editors used to be standard offerings with games belonging to this genre, such as with Patrician III, for example. It looks like times are changing, and consumers like me need to do more research now.)

In my ignorance, I thought there was something wrong with the program. In my education on the matter, I now see that there is something wrong with the philosophy behind enabling people to modify their games only with further expenditures. So that is now for a different thread and not this one.

Be well, Daan, and thanks for clearing this up.


Snootch

there is nothing to apologize for...i would also expect, that modding/editing would inlcude both versions.
But in this case there are deep changes in the program code between basic game and addon (town maps, ...). So the developers hds to decide, for which version modding will be enabled. with this background i would say it was the right decision, to make the addon moddable...

In Lubect architect shows that 20 wood is missing (for building a salter) and shipyard shows that 60 wood missing (for building a ship). So I bring 100 wood to Lubeck, sell it manually. A day passes - the sold wood disappers from the market but nothing changes - still 20 wood needed by the architect and 60 wood by the shipyard.

Yes it is a very annoying situation, that I am currently struggeling with too. And why can't they take it from my own warehouse storage? I have build up a huge stock of wood, brick and many other basic building materials, but whenever the market in the city is empty, they stop building!

Is there someway you can tell them to take from your own stock?

extra personal info:
I have lost 40.000 gold, because two production facilities wasn't finished at the assignment date, due to building stop. Twice! It is very frustrating, whne you have plenty in your own storehouse. I have tried to fix the situation, by selling both small and large quantities to the market, but nothing seems to solve the situation. Finally, after many ingame-days, they took up building again, but the market was still starving from building materials! I wonder how it was triggered?!

The dev's have decided that taking goods from your own warehouse is "unnatural", so that option isn't available. Which leads to the problem that the markett hall is empty when you need to build something.

Best thing to do is to make sure you have enough goods in stock, then sell them to the city (and sell more, because the AI uses the goods too) until your "projects" are done.

So it's not a bug, it's a feature. It's just bugging a lot of players though.


Thorin

its not that hard
look what the normal demand for wood/bricks per 10 days and add the demand of the building materials that should be inthe markethall
dont sell A LOT to the market hall at once!
1. you loose money if you sell 3000 wood at once
2. the AI buys the cheap stuff and you have to deliver more
=> have enough in the counting house and use the administrator to always sell wood/bricks to normal prices
(yes i know you support the AI that way .. i can live with that because the AI supports me in towns where you dont deliver (enough) wood/bricks )

@Thorin
Thank you for your help on this problem (yes I will continue to see it as a problem).

How do you ensure, that you can buy your own goods from the market then, before the computer? It seems as if the AI will always have priority as "first buyer".

(grunt grunt :-( Its weird to sell to your enemy, just for a chance to buy your own good back again at market price. Yes it is too weird for me grasp the dev's policies on this. weird weird weird...)


@Falko
Yes i thought the same. It would be the most logical solution. Except it didn't work in my situation. I have the suspicion, that foreign ships and merchants bought the market dry of anything flowing into it (wood, bricks, etc.). It seems as if the AI has first priority in anything. It makes it unfair competition and not very realistic.

I have many bad experiences with the administrators. Sometimes they don't buy or sell what they should (and it is not of lacking possibilities on their behalf). I must get better acquainted with them, but right now I don,t dare leaving much to their discretion.

NEW BUG (TRADEROUTE BUG)
I find it a bug, that when designing traderoutes, it is very difficult to rearrange the order of travel, so to speak.

detail:
When you use the graphical map you have to retrace everything, whenever you makes a mistake or wants a different bend of the route in the middle of a larger route. And the destinations you rearrange got ripped of their tradeinfo. Very frustrating.

I might have come up whit a possible solution, but I cant make sense of it at the moment. Here goes: In the tradeinfo screen (opposed to the graphical map editor), you can rearrange the destinations as you wish and without losing any info that you programmed. But still after rearragning, I am not entirely sure how the game interprets the city-order, when the convoy embarks on the traderoute. It works a bit weird.

the resorting of the destinations in the tradeinfo screen is somewhat problematic
if you move the mouse while clicking on a destination P4 seems to think you want to sort that destination but since you only "moved" 1-2 pixel P4 puts the destination on the start

Hi to everyone, just joined because I've found a serious game play bug!
When battling pirates in manuel mode, the ships display Red: for Health,
Blue: for Men, and White: for Sail. Now, if you use grape shot, and wipe the men out, the pirates still fire at you!!!!! Also, if you take out their sails, they only go a little bit slower!! Will this be rectified in a future patch?

This is not a "bug" - it may be an "undesigned game feature" - but it is how sea battles are - unrealistic maybe? Check out this thread for the pros and cons

Um, what is a dxdiag log? Sorry, but I'm not really familiar with these things.

Click on START
Select RUN (This opens the RUN dialogue box)
TYPE - "dxdiag" - Click OK

This opens the DirectX diagnostic tool
Click on "Save All Information" - when the SAVE box opens save to a name.txt file

I successfully patched the game sometime in December 2011 up to 1.3. Problem is: I just saw that the picture on both the disc and the package is totally different from the one showing on this forum's main web page of the game. Runs fine though.

Second problem: How come, when you get to play onto the free play's customizable game play that, the normal setting acts up like as if your at Patrician level already? I mean that my AI competitors are already at Grand Merchant and one already elected Mayor of my starting City. Plus, that there are no means to build a Sawmill for the very main resource needed for building houses, ships and, businesses of all kinds. Masons and masonry should have their bricks making factory also, right?

Third problem: Can not make any trade routes at all at the very start of the game and, the new Captain can not supply himself with his own crewmen(sailors). Why is that? Plus, even though I already have my starting Counting House, the upper right window tells me that I do not have one(0). It feels like everybody else has a huge start advantage on me and, by seeing the trading ships coming in and going without selling our City any goods what-so-ever. My first ever assignment was to gather a huge amount of refugees of about 300+ to send anywhere else than this one. The City had a mere 25% happiness. I did not have this kind of Gold for buying a Cog for such a trip.

Fourth problem: My machine might be too advanced for such aging game. Triple Core with video and sound drivers in Early Winter 2011-12 and, using Windows 7 x64 Service Pack 1 + way more updates and upgrades. Do you think the expansion would fix all of these compatibility issues? BTW: I never bothered to play the Campaign before playing the squirmish map mode, sorry.

Hi guys,

I have a terrible crash everytime when an event pops-up; events like: becoming a mayor, getting married, plague, pirates getting stronger etc.
I have the latest patch 1.3 and a retail version; i updated my graphic drivers, my direct x, everything i updated for this crash to go away but still i cannot get rid of it! My system is also on 64 bits, 6 GB Ram, 2 GB Ram for Graphic card, I5 processor, windows 7 ultimate. The error i get is something like this:

Can anyone help me? Please.

@nemeiah

DO you have 3D enable on your graphics driver? - it should be set off or let application decide. The game does not support 3D and the issue happens when a pop up is being displayed.
Then you could try running the game in compatibility mode.

If that fails the post your DXDIAG here in '#' so that it scrolls and send it Kalyspo support.

Yes I do, I did manage those settings and I can see an improvement. But still it crashes some time. Maybe it's just my laptop too advanced for this game....anyway I still love it.

Thanks for your quick reply.

First if you go through the standard stuff:-

Run Windows Update - and apply all the "High Priority" fixes
Run Windows Update - and apply any Optional Hardware fixes
Ensure your graphics drivers are up to date - Check your manufacturer’s web site
Ensure your sound card drivers are up to date - Check your manufacturer’s web site
Check your PC manufacturer’s web site for firmware updates

If you are still getting problems or crashes - then post your DXDIAG here - in tags #/# with any error message AND send it with a brief description to KALYPSO support. Then you have 2 chances to get help.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++​++
To Run DXDIAG
Click on START
Select RUN (This opens the RUN dialogue box)
TYPE - "dxdiag" - Click OK

This opens the DirectX diagnostic tool
Click on "Save All Information" - when the SAVE box opens save to a name.txt file

When you post the file use the Preview Post option and select "#" symbol - cut and paste the name.txt file after the "#"

You have a STEAM version so try to VERIFY LOCAL FILES in STEAM

and if possible ..........
Did you get an error message or Debugger pop up? Post the screen shot.
Did it just Crash to Desktop (CTD)? With WIN 7 message "Patrician IV has stopped working"?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++​++++

Couple of other things to try:-
1. I see you have your STEAM Applications on a different partition from C: - which I assume is the system drive. I think I read somewhere that the game has problems if installed on a different partition from the system drive.
You could try reinstalling the game on to the system partition - check this link about installing STEAM games on a different drive -
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_arti...-tdlc-0426

The other thing is to run a hard check on your RAM - the c0000005 error translates has a memory error - BUT it usually gets output if no other problem can be identified - but there's always that possibility.

Hi,

When I try to create a route, the next day the route it is auto cancelled, I don't know why but it is imposible to create a route and that this can be enabled in order to trade with other cities. I start a new campaign and the same situation it is been done.

A message appears in alerts with a picture of a scales with a red slash.

- do you play on higher difficult level and the harbour of the town is frozen?
- does the captain got orders he could fulfill in the town?

Lebe jeden Tag, als wäre es Dein Letzter! / Live each day as it would be your last!

No,

I can only play if I give automatic orders to the captain in order to buy and sell.

Having a problem with trade route set up, I want to drop of product to storehouse but not sell to city. Every time I change the value in UNLOAD CITY side the same value appears in UNLOAD STOREHOUSE and vice verse
