Sid Meier's Pirates! Forum

I have purchased this game with STEAM but after installing it I was not able to get it starting. Is there somebody who has succeed with it? I would be thankful for any suggestions.

Then dont use steam and follow my instructions on the main forum and install it in an xp bottle. I will mail ya some more details.

Hi,

I have the same problem - I own the game on Steam but can't get it to start. I want to try using the C4P file but obviously only have the game on steam and can't work out a way to then install it in a separate bottle or use a separate installer as a result. Any tips/ideas? If you could help that'd be amazing as I love this game...

Cheers,

Guy

Yeah....hard one where i cant help because i dont have the steam version. Were working a solution for the multiple versions issue, because we run into more versions like: Gold edition, collectors edition, GOG.com version, steam version, stardock version, etc.

Hi,

The C4P profile would do you no good here anyhow -- the Steam installation includes
all the same dependencies required...the problem with the Steam version of this title is
likely to be associated with the Steam UI overlay or something like that -- as for getting
help, the best you can do is submit a support ticket or email info@codweavers.com to
let them know this Steam game is broken -- it's an unsupported title so don't expect too
much, but at least they will know about it.

You might also grab a debuglog and attach it to that ticket/email...instructions on how
to obtain a debuglog are detailed on this page;

If you need any help with that, let me know...

Cheers!

Hi,

the Steam version of the game works for me now with CX Games 10.1.
