I just started playing again last night. I really love this game. So easy to get into and have fun, I just wish it would have shipped with better modding tools or Firaxis would have supported it past one patch. I play it on Vista 64 and have it working without crashing, but it still has...

Thanks for posting this. One of the things holding me back from going to Vista is I love having this game to play once in a while and heard about its lack of Vista compatibility.

Thank you so much, I looked but could not find it myself.

So this mod is not compatible with BtS?

Awesome thread. I put Civ 4 down after struggling to make the jump from Warlord to Noble. Funny thing is I bought BtS the day it came out and have never played it. This thread is helping me get back into the game, I am going to play on Warlord first to learn the changes in BtS. Thanks.

Game plays fine for me after 1.1, but I pretty much lost interest.

This is just one reason all PC franchises are eventually going to move to consoles. Or Vista I guess, not sure what Games for Windows will solve though.

At first it pissed me off a lot, but once I got the hang of routing and upped the difficulty level, I am hooked.

Actually the readme and Install for Pirates! covers this already. They install a shortcut in your start menu programs folder to run Pirates! in safemode. Once you do that and switch the resolution, it runs fine after that. Least that is what fixed this for me when I just reinstalled...

It ran pretty much max graphics on my old XP 2200+, 512 mb Ram and a 128mb Radeon 9500 desktop. That is not that far from what you have, I would suspect you could run it fine and I love the game. I played the Genesis version to death, this is a mighty upgrade from that. But if you have an...

That is a good tip and definitely needed in this scenario.

It is called "A Tycoon Tale" and it will be the very last scenario. Sandbox is called Train Table and is the first selectable difficulty level.

I went back to playing a regular scenario, the patches really changed some stuff and I wanted a better frame of reference to learn it. I think I will play this in just Train Table mode so I can show my daugter Santa's train tonight.

My understanding is it is apart of the design that you cannot connect to AI tracks, not a bug that will be fixed. After you buy them out they become your tracks though. They did increase the size of the available map, at least it said that in patch 2's read me, but I have not tried anything...

Don't feel bad, I haven't beaten it either. My second game(I restarted a couple times though do to getting used to changes with the patches) I was so caught up in staying ahead of the AI's, I missed getting the goals done altogether. So I did not finish the game, just closed and went to bed...
