OK ... we now have it working. *However* it's possible that the installer is aborting after PhysX and not getting as far as the DirectX, XVid (or even Acrobat) installs. 1) After many failed attermpts, I downloaded/installed Phyx (from nVidia) and updated the video drivers while I was at it. 2) Disabled UAC. 3) Ran the installer "as Administrator". 4) Installed to the *default* directory (C:\ .....) 5) The script then found a newer version of Physx but allowed us to resume, whereupon it went on to install DX9 and Xvid Codecs (which didn't show the first time). It appears that a standard Win7 has DX11 (11????) installed but PTBoats is looking for DX9 (at least to start with). After getting the "install DX9" option, PTB appears to run fine in both DX9 and DX10 mode.

Hi Mine is win 7 32 and I have the sme problem. I installed the physx drivers now I get the intro to run but not the game Bob

Hi Thanks for the reply Tried both direct x 9 and 10 and shadows on and off but with no difference Thanks Bob

Hi I had the same. I downloaded the physica drivers and installed them then the game started but only as far as the intro. I wonder if we need the codecs and other stuff but I don’t know what it is and where to get it from. Bob

Hi All Pre ordered it downloaded it this morning but it will not start. I get past the intro then jumps back to the desk top for a second or two then I get a message pt boats has stopped working ... I am on a fresh install of win 7 ultimate 32 bit intel core 2 dueo nvidia 8800gts 2 gig ram Any help would be appreciated Thanks Bob
