yesterday decided to replay PotC and tried a lot of fixes to run it on win8 x64:
- swiftshader 2.0 provides no crashes , perfect sea graphics and 2 fps
- fixed sea.dll and battle_interface with bugged sea graphics
- deleting bump.zap and "chess grid" sea
accidentally, bumped into "dgVoodoo". (http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2_53.zip)
- copied d3d8.dll and dgVoodooSetup.exe from zip-archive to the game folder
- ran dgVoodooSetup.exe
- clicked '.\' button to automatically set up game folder path
- in 'directx' tab set 'videocard' option to 'Geforce 4800 Ti'
i want someone to test this solution cause it can be the best one
