Plenty of good reviews for this game. On both Win 7 & Win 10, I can't play this game. Its sat in my gog library for a few years now. The max resolution is super low. While it installs, and starts, it usually has something gamebreaking, like locking up on the very first quest.
While i was able to play & enjoy the game, ironically, the first Privateer actually played better. In this game, the video is interlaced, which wound up looking really weird/not enjoyable to watch. Also alt tabbing from the game to anything else would always wind up crashing the game the next time space combat happened. On the plus side, minus those issues, the game played beautifully. Very high resolution compared to the original release/nice graphics, and quite enjoyable.
Throttle/roll don't appear to function. Mappings are a mess. Can't scan the character's father's ship 5 minutes into the game. If there is some kind of fix that makes this game more playable, I'll look at revising this review. Right now it feels like a waste of money.
