What works

Everything.

What does not

1� Playing from the CD doesnt work

2� If you play for too long on a single island it starts to show visual artifacts over time
3� Sometimes during the loading screen you will also see visual artifacts
4� The game will some time randomly crash if you play it for too long
5� There seems to be a problem with the saving process that gets worse over time (even in different play sessions)

It could be because
A) Advancing the story affects implies bigger ammounts of information and the game has trouble processing them
B) Something else changes in the saves in later games or
C) There's some other kind of problem with later levels.

In any case, it becomes harder to save the game over time. it will start crashing randomly when you push "save"

Workarounds

1� Need a NO-CD .exe

2� A good way around the "save" problem is to do quicksaves, they seem to be less problematic, but even those will sometimes cause random crashes so, quick-save often, and once in a while so a complete save if you want to reach the end of the game, i couldnt.

What was not tested

i didnt reach the later levels

Hardware tested

HowTo / Notes

HOWTO
If install crashes, try again after running winetricks dcom98. Unfortunately, the game won't work with this override enabled, so after installed, go in to winecfg and under the Libraries tab, remove the rpcrt4 entry.
