Major Problem...

[Sauron21]

This must have been addressed by someone else but I can find nothing on it. The game does not let me pick the difficulty lvl or the time era. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you.

for some bizarre and so far unexplained reason the game will not let u pick either level or era first time thru after installation.

so what u do is let it run thru the start game process. then when appear on the map hit "fleet status" then "system options" then "abandon game" (NOT quit game)

this will take u back to the menu screen on a blue map background where u can now choose "play sid miers pirates" and now u should be able to select all options.
