    How to bypass DRM check to launch game?

    Oh boy, I forgot I had an account here. Anyway, hi! I installed PotC today again hoping it would work. It doesn't. Back in the day I did have a fix for this, I even posted that here. But unfortunately this fix doesn't work in Windows 11 (At least for me) due the update that needs to be deleted...

    Need Help Is it possible to replace the stock music?

    So I was listening to some Pirates of the Caribbean orchestra performance and it made me wonder, can you replace the stock music to your own? In a way of downloading a song, renaming it to what you want to replace and overwrite the stock file. I'd try it myself but I don't want to break my game...

    Is it possible to sail from one island to another without the map?

    I'm just curious if it would be possible to sail from one map to another, so. You leave from Redmond and start sailing to Oxbay for example but you don't use the map and simply sail. I don't have the patience to try but maybe someone else has tried already.

    [SOLVED] Game not starting, at all

    FINAL UPDATE; I can safely confirm with 100% certainty that the Windows Update KB3086255 was causing the issue. I just reinstalled the update and the problem showed up again, so this update is causing the issue. Issue solved! Of course it would be Windows again -_- Anyways, all the help was all...

    [SOLVED] Game not starting, at all

    According to my PC, that update is from September 2017... Though I thought I had the problem before... No matter, I'll post the (hopefully) final update once I get home and tried installing the update again.

    [SOLVED] Game not starting, at all

    Ok, semi-final update. I managed to get the game to work! From disc! There's this Windows Security update. KB3086255 which prevented me from launching the game because it would deny my acces to it due the game not being optimized for Win7. Now I deleted the update, rebooted and now it works! I'm...

    [SOLVED] Game not starting, at all

    Ok, BIG update. So I may be onto figuring out the problem. You see, @Hylie Pistof linked me to a version of the stock game which did work! So. I replaced every file in the folder where I originally installed PotC, nothing, but as soon as I replaced the ENGINE the administrator icon dissappeared...

    [SOLVED] Game not starting, at all

    Well, I'm going to try to run the setup for PotC in compability mode, it has selected Windows XP SP2. Perhaps this'll work? Dunno, at this point I'm just trying out every crazy idea. UPDATE: It might work, I just clicked yes on both prompts to install DirectX and Windows Media player, both...

    [SOLVED] Game not starting, at all

    Ok, so, the other game, doesn't work. Can't even use the launcher to just use the vanilla game it forces me to use its custom modpacks. Can't even uninstall it so I just deleted the whole folder.

    [SOLVED] Game not starting, at all

    Oh a little update, the .EXE does seem to work. It just didn't look like yesterday because I forgot I had turned security off for testing purposes. When I normal click it I get an error "acces denied" with as description "please login with administrator priviliges and try again" fair enough, I...

    [SOLVED] Game not starting, at all

    That's odd, since the installation went perfect, I mean would make so much sense if it didn't work. Any idea on how to fix that issue?

    [SOLVED] Game not starting, at all

    Even that didn't work. And when I try the stuff for the error logging. No logs are being made, nothing. Unless the logs are hidden somewhere else, there are no additional files created nor maps that indicate it's a log.
