Blue Screen

[Agarath]

I recently installed sid meiers pirates but whenever it is about to load the screen where you choose what kind of sword you want to fight with the screen turns blue and the computer locks up. Can anyone help me with this? my graphics card is a radeon 9800 so i dont see why this is happening.

Not sure what's happening there. I have not heard others having it. Maybe with the new patch that's supposed to be coming out in the not so distant future it will fix the issue.

Considering the history of the patch . . .
How on the current patch items are listed as being repaired that still work exactly as before.

How they keep promising the patch in about a month (seems to have had this promise since December, renewed each and every month).

How the current official Pirates! web page doesn't even have a link for customer support.


You be pulling our legs Civrules.

Well, I certainly hope I'm not misleading anyone as I read the confirmation that the long awaited patch will be released. Here's a quote from Addicted to Pirates!:

Ok after some huge debate it has been confirmed that there will be a new Patch releasing midsummer this year (July-August time would be my guess). A new webmaster for Firaxis has given us this information as stated below

Just as an FYI...

Having a new publisher (Take 2) has allowed Firaxis to facilitate continued devepment on Pirates!

Patch 1.0.2 (World patch, not just U.S.) will be ready by mid-summer. Thanks for all your patience during our transition from Atari to Take 2. It looks like clear sailing ahead (so to speak).

Heh, if it is not released by August's end...
