Comment on Sid Meier's Pirates, and everyone else in the game, are aware of the date...
mox@lemmy.sdf.org 1 week agoRunning it wasn’t exactly straightforward. My DVD copy was a no-go, but I managed to get the GOG version working in a 32-bit Wine prefix with DXVK. (I’m on linux.)
Remaining problems are lack of wide-screen support (so I run it in a full-height window) and pauses between various scenes (which I might be able to solve with an older Wine version). It’s playable already, though; I’m glad I put in a little effort. Other people wanting to try it might want to use Lutris, which seems to have install scripts for it, or a console emulator.

I am on windows, so I’m not quite sure why my steam version of the game just…stopped working one day. And the work around fixed it. Until it didn’t. But now it’s better? Maybe? I haven’t checked in a few months, maybe it’s back to Not Better.
Ahhhh computers.

At the very least, my steam copy on windows 10 worked just fine a week ago on my yearly playthrough.
