The installer runs smoothly, with no apparent problems.
The Sony (SOE) launcher starts and runs. The license text was missing the first time I ran it, and then was visible but not formatted properly after that. Logging in seems to go without a hitch, and then the file scan / patching seems to work fine as well. After patching, however, when you click 'play,' a dialog comes up that says the game is starting, but then it exits.
The following are the errors I got when I attempted to start it from the command line:
Started with command:
".cxoffice/Unsupported-games/desktopdata/cxmenu/Desktop.c^5E3A^5Fwindows^5Fprofiles^5FAll^2BUsers^5FDesktop/Pirates+of+the+Burning+Sea"
All of the errors appeared while the launcher was running, before clicking 'play.'
