Issues unresolved
Frozen ship bug
Sometimes the game will completely freeze, and the ships and timer will also freeze (although it is still possible to interact with the towns.[1]
Talking to the Architect in town and accessing the Build grid seems to unfreeze time, though the bug might still recur.
Missing Building Name In Town
When a player reaches a certain rank, building names over buildings disappear.
Shipyard Bug
When a shipyard has more than 1 ship to offer, it frequently auto-selects the 1st ship. Players could accidentally buy the wrong ship if they are not clicking the buy button fast enough.
Reputation Bug
On version 1.1.2 quests aren't giving any reputation increase.
Issues fixed
Autosave
Reportedly, loading a game will not allow saves to be made automatically.[2]
This can be fixed by starting a new game, and then loading the save game again.[3] [4]
Autosave timer can also be adjusted by going into the Options.cfg
in %APPDATA%\Kalypsomedia\Port Royale 3\
There is a section where one can adjust the number of seconds between autosaves:
[Autosave] Timer = 480
