Play Pirates of the Caribbean online in Vista

[Claudius]

I want to play the Pirates Of The Caribbean (POTC) game online in my Vista machine. Has anyone tried playing this game online on the Vista machine. I want to know how this game behaves and its performance while playing online.......can anyone please suggest.

yeah, I have played POTC online in my Vista computer. The game played pretty OK, but I faced the some sort of delay. Also, I was unable to play it in a full screen mode at the higher resolutions without losing major fps.

I've tried playing the beta version of this game online. There were many buds I tell you but remember almost every game has the initial bugs in its beta version. i am waiting for it to become better.

Ohh !!!! so there are lots of people facing trouble playing pirates online on their Vista platform. First, I would suggest you to try and update your graphic/video card, driver.

If that doesn't help, then follow these steps -

• Go to Start | Programs | Accessories | Windows Explorer.
• Navigate to C:\Program Files\Disney\Disney Online\PiratesOnline.
• Double click on game_options.txt.
• Make sure "state" has "working" on the line directly below it. If you see "attempted_working" , change it to "working."
• Under "api", please change the text from "default" to "pandadx9".
• Save the file then launch the game.

If you don't have this file on your computer, you will need to create one in the PiratesOnline directory.

• Go to Start | Run.
• Type "Notepad" in the Open input box then click OK.
• Add the following text precisely as you see it below:
  
  • state
  • working
  • api
• pandadx9 (once again, you may need pandadx10)
• Click File | Save As
• Name the file "game_options.txt"
• Save the file to C:\Program Files\Disney\Disney Online\PiratesOnline then launch the game.
