Wow, one of the first to download this. The work you have done on potc is amazing. It feels like a much more polished game with a purpose. Ships and characters look great.
Once again- superb work. Loving every bit of it, best game of its type by far until HOOCOTS hopefully!!! The new opensea mod is great as well, adds a new level of realism to the time it would take to sail. Brilliant work as usual well done :D
wow a new update!! uhm, can i install this over beta 2.2 light?
Yes, you can. New game enforced though.
aww, that's too bad :( anyway, i guess it's worth it. great job :)

Please don't double-post; just one will do.
Anyway, which mirror did you download the mod from? If it was the ModDB mirror, there is a known issue that affects certain regions, which may be why your download hasn't worked properly. Please try the alternative download link from my post above.
Gibs das game auch auf deutsch oda weiss einer wie mann es umstellen kann
I would suggest using a translator to ask in English if you need help.That comment doesn't make sense when I run it through Google translate.
I think the game was released in german. but the mod isn't i guess. I believe however you have a german community for the game but it's not the same community as PiratesAhoy!
I get the error: runtime error abnormal program termination
Reinstal works as a fix. Thx :)
german language for the game
No, the mod is only in English, because translating it would be a very big job.
However, you can find a German mod for Age of Pirates 2 at this site: Dezeeroovers.net
How can you disable or enable the opensea mod if it was installed in the initial download? I want to disable it whilst i do the storyline and then re-enable it when finished to make a more realistic free roam.
I'm not entirely sure how to disable it. Please have a look at our forum in case someone else can help you: Piratesahoy.net

It's only unavailable in certain regions, due to a problem with ModDB's servers. Please try this alternative download link: Dropbox.com
is the intel fix included in this 2.3 update or should I add it on top of this update?
The new (recommended) Intel fix is included as an optional add-on in the Beta 2.3 installer.
Hello im new here i need register to forum but i dont know what i must type in werivication captcha. 'This website is ? Ahoy!' or 'Baa Baa Black Sheep, Have You Any ?'
"This website is PiratesAhoy!", so you need to type "Pirates".
You can search for the other phrase on Google if you don't know it.

We've discussed it before, and decided that adding any kind of multiplayer support to this game would be far too difficult. However, our new project, Hearts of Oak, will support multiplayer: Moddb.com .
I'm not sure what you mean by a "free play button"? There is no specific functionality to that effect in the game. The best free play option is to go with the Master and Commander storyline, which has no quest yet, so you can do as you please.
Hey Lads, does anyone else have the same problem? Whenever i get caught by the "law" when i smuglle, i cant return to the sea, it crashes back to windows... Is this a common error or is it only me?
regards
Some players have reported that problem. Hopefully there will be a fix in the next patch as it is related to the Coast Guard ships.
Thank you so much for your work. I have just been reading books about pirates lately, and then I found a community like this -- it's amazing. I can't wait to play the game for the first time in the coming weeks, and I am going straight to the modded version. Yo Ho Ho, my Salty Seadogs.
Do you recommend I play Build 13 or Build 14? I know it is a hard game.
If you're going straight to the modded version, I'd recommend Build 14 for the best experience. It has a huge amount of new features that make the game truly awesome.

If you installed POTC into "program files" it will not run.
To all that made this mode possible thank you.
I just finished Assassin's Creed 3 and the sea battle in there reminded me of this game so with my nostalgia meter at its limits im going back to playing it.(Still wish the graphics could be enhanced more...but old engine old graphics...)
We're actually working on a new project with a modern engine, which might interest you. It's still in the very early stages, mind: Moddb.com
Oh yes i saw it before and i will deffinetly check it out when it is released.
For those unable to download the mod, a new alternative download link is now live!
