Windows 7 and Windows Vista vs. Port Royale 2

 

Ascaron used a very effective copy protection for Port Royale 2.

The copy protection is secure that it protect you from playing Port Royale on Windows Vista or Windows 7 machines. Even compatibillty mode or virtual machines are useless.

 

 

Although this issue is known for years, Ascaron never published a patch/fix. And after Ascarons insolvency we will never get one. You have to stick with Windows XP, at least as second OS an you computer, not a very handy solution.

 

You may try to use a crack to bypass the copy protection. But after all I heard about the offered cracks, they deteriorate the gameplay.

 

In case you own an old copy of Port Royale 2 that includes a Windows Vista/ Windows 7 incompatible copy protection, you have two options to buy a copy protection free version:
