 Won't load June 11, 2008
Kyle McGrath (MI, USA)
Tried loading it, froze up. Downloaded patches- won't run. Think it needs a better computer than I have.
It works on Vista May 19, 2008

I could not get the game to function on Vista all night. After some research I messed with the several things. Here is what I did to get the game to work on Win Vista:
Install SP1 for Vista
Updateded Nvidia Drivers
Set game exe. file to compatability mode for Win 2000
After all that the game worked great. Don't forget to update your game to latest patch.

I was happy to find this game for cheap, but disappointed that it doesn't seem to run in Vista. I've tried running it in compatibility mode to no effect. Upon execution the screen goes black and hangs. The more I read about the game the more this disappoints me. In all fairness, the package doesn't say anything about being compatible with Vista.
 great sailing game November 17, 2007

AGE OF SAIL II PRIVATEER'S BOUNTY is a great fun upgrade from AGE OF SAIL. I had AGE OF SAIL II and was disappointed with the game operating flaws. PRIVATEER'S BOUNTY seems to have cleared most of the operating flaws up. I have had only one experience of the scenario messing up and I am not sure it just wasn't my computer. The controls are easy to learn. The game is set in real time or can be speeded up which makes it good for easy going adults and gameboy speed kids. My 11yr old loves the game. I like to be able to teach him tactics. We have 2 copies and the plan is soon to play against each other.

Right-click on the desktop item, select "Properties", select the "Compatibility" tab, choose "Win 98" in the drop down menu. Then the game will run fine under XP
