Dear Sir/Madam, I'm having a problem with my Pirates of the Caribbean and my laptop with Vista. I've changed the screen resolution to as weak as possible along with setting the compatibility of the .exe file to run with XP SP-2. Nothing is working so far. When I start a new game I get engine stopped working error and program closes. Any Idea how to fix? Sinc, Jack

Pirates of the Caribbean problems with ENGINE.exe: In my case a simple software, called SwiftShader2.0 solved it!!!

Recently I also had a problem with this game. Every time i tryed to start a new game, an error occured, stating, that the engine.exe stopped, and the program exited. After spening all night researching on this topic, i found the solution: you should install SwiftShader 2.0. It is a simple and great program (as far as i know it changes the graphical performance, in order to get the game work).

You can download it from here: http://www.moddb.com/mods/new-horizons/downloads/swiftshader-v20-demo

Having downloaded, sipmply install it to the root folder of the game (in my case it is C:\Program files\Bethesda Softworks\Pirates of the Caribbean)
Note that, there is a "Config" file in this root folder, and using that you can make the graphical settings of the game (resolution, set it to full screen mode, etc.). For some reasons this didn't want to work in my case, but there is an other way of doing these settings: in this root folder you can also find an "engine.ini" file, which can be opened as a .txt file. If opened as .txt, than you can rewrite the data in it in order to make the desired changes (for examlpe you should rewrite "full_screen = 0" to "full_screen = 1", to activate full screen mode. You cn also chage the graphical resolution of the game this way.)

The link i have given to download SwiftShader2.0 is reliable, it is originally a created for "New Horison", which is a promising mode for Pirates of the Caribbean. You can also download this full mode, and install it containing SwiftShader2.0. This mode contains much more adventure -for example you can choose from about 7 very different charachters to play with! But personally i decided to play without whis mode, because in my system it wasn't performing well.

I hope, this will solve your problems too. /Soory for spelling mistakes/

Hello Etto!

Recently i had the same problem with this game. However, in my case i finally managed to solve it! I guess, the main problem was, that the game couldn't communicate with my Intel on board graphic card, what is more, it didn't see my AMD Radeon video card. Finally i found 2 soultion:
First: swich off Intel on board graphic card. This way the game used my AMD Radeon video vard without any problems.
Second: Use a software, called SwiftShader2.0, which can make the game use the Intel on board graphic card without any problems.

You can download SwiftShader2.0 from here: http://www.moddb.com/mods/new-horizons/downloads/swiftshader-v20-demo

If necessary you can easily reinstall SwiftShader2.0, using its reinstall icon, that can be found in the same folder, in which it was installed.

The link i have given to download SwiftShader2.0 is originally a created for "New Horison", which is a promising mode for Pirates of the Caribbean. You can also download the full mode, and install it containing SwiftShader2.0. This may also solve your problems, because as far as i know the developpers of this mode made it work on modern systems. What is more, this mode contains much more adventure -for example you can choose from about 7 very different charachters to play with! But personally i decided to play without whis mode, because in my system it wasn't performing well, and anyway, i wanted to play with the original game.

I hope, this will solve your problems. /Sorry for spelling mistakes/
