Issues And Fixes
Crash To Desktop
Reportedly this game crashes to desktop.[1]
This can be fixed by overwriting the .exe file with a non-Steam version.
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 the folder:
- Windows 7:
AppData\Kalypsomedia\Port Royale 3\
There is a section where one can adjust the number of seconds between autosaves:
[Autosave] Timer = 480
Unresolved Issues
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.[5]
Missing building name in town
When player reach certain rank, building names over buildings disappears.
Shipyard Bug
When a shipyard has more than 1 ship to offer, it frequently auto select the 1st ship. Players could accidentally bought the wrong ship if they are not clicking the buy button fast enough. LoL
