2 things

1. Have you got the build installed?
2. Did you install Direct X, or something in the installation and have to re-boot your computer? That is a trigger to start of many bugs in the stock.

Nope i didnt install either build either updates (i have russian version).
I am using direct x 8.1 version and i it was installed already long time ago.
My VGA card is Sis M650.
Thanks

Well, without the build, PotC was a very buggy game. My advice: download the build, then run the euro-patch thing that comes with it. Cat knows far more about this than I do.

Actually there is a Russian patch for the stock Russian version of PotC which can be downloaded from the <a href="http://gameguru.ru/" target="_blank">Russian Game Guru website.</a>

THAT should help you most of all. Otherwise, make sure you install the DirectX that comes with PotC and that you are prompted to install. PotC works best if you have DX8 or higher. Current DX is 9.0c and will also work - and make your game run better, depending upon your video card and whether it is built to use DX9. If it is not, it will work just fine with the DX8 that comes with the game. Anything less will not work.

Get the game running in stock first before you get into downloading any of the mods here. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Let us know if that helps, or if you need further assistance - we'll be happy to help if we can. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

POTC has trouble with SIS videocards.
That's about it, I'm afraid. :\
