Windows Vista/7
Due to Data Execution Prevention this game will crash on start-up. One solution is to disable DEP for the entire system, but this is notably insecure. A bizarre work-around, however, is to replace the main executable with the German version, which does not trigger DEP and does not change the game's language. All mods are compatible with either executable.
Patches
Patch 1.1 has been released and is recommended. Patch 1.2 is fan-made and is largely incompatible with mods.
Another fix, is to download the German 1.1 .exe, This will not change the language!
Known Issues
Marine frigates are unable to capture enemy vessels. Once the capture-order has been completed, ship control is never transferred, even with repeated attempts.
Windowed mode
Execute the game with the command line parameters -windowed -w ### -h ###. Example: -windowed -w 1280 -h 1024. Add -noborder to remove window border.
