Has any had any luck installing it on a Vista 64 bit system? I tried and it says it's not compatible with my version of Windows. Three days downloading the damn thing, I never thought I wouldn't be able to use it. Sad pirate cat is sad.
oh no! I have vista 64 bit and I am halfway through my download :(.
Maybe there is a way to run it on the 32 bit. Maybe in the programs file not the programs x86 file?

Maybe. All I know is that I hit the setup app and it told me it wasn't compatible.
That's strange. I have Vista 64-bit, and it works fine on my computer. I've been playing for the last two days straight, no crashes even. I didn't get a compatibility message when I tried to install it, though. Did the pop-up specifically mention Vista 64-bit?

oh good. My download will continue then... I also have the thing on pre-order and my spawns are dying to play, I was afraid I was going to have to disappoint them..

"This version of the file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher."
That's what it says.
What SP do you have installed with Vista? I read the readme that came with my iso, but it didn't say anything about not being compatible with Vista 64. BUT, make sure you have SP1 with Vista. That's what the game was made to work with, and that's what the readme specifically referenced. If you have SP2 or SP3, that could be what's causing the problems. Maybe? I'm shit with troubleshooting; and, if it's not the SP issue, I really don't know what could be the problem. You may have gotten a version that's not compatible with Vista 64 - if that's even possible.
If it helps, I downloaded my copy from Netload; that's the one that is compatible with Vista 64 for me.

Random tidbit: If you pull up the cheat window and type in "jokeplease" (sans punctuation), you get a random joke, one of which was, "Did you hear about that new pirate movie? It's rated ARRRR!"
