the thing is, that maybe I messed the exe.
But I don't know if it Makes sense, because I don't know anything about programming and or debugging.
Let me explain:
-I use itch.io app to download the engine and the mod, so this way I keep up to date always.
-Of course, I used "C:\Maelstrom" for the engine and "C:\Maelstrom\Game" for the mod.
-I noticed that inside the engine folder there is various exes, so, until today I was using the maelstrom era 2 exe and the maelstrom config example exe.
-Today, was messing around with the new characters and profiles a lot, trying to decide which character to choose, and starting new games, then without exiting the game, creating another new game etc (by the way I noticed that doing that, the first script when you appears in your ship and somebody comes as soon as you move to start the tutorial, didn't work, thus ending in a soft lock in which you cannot travel fast and the guy never comes.) So, maybe, I screwed up starting a few times new games.
-in an attempt to "Fix" it , I searched those exes and realised that uses dx9 32bits so, I changed to dx9 64bits.
So, I tried to reproduce that ctd without messing too much (starting a new game, and if wanted to change character or start another new game, first I exited the game.) Aaaand no ctds, I can sail in world map without ctds.
Sorry if I'm vaguely helping you debugging. And thanks a lot for your fast response.
