Sid Meier's Pirates! (patched to the latest 1.0.2 version) performs badly in Wine. This issue is described in several test results on the Appdb page of the game, too. I can observe the following symptoms: - After the intro video played, it takes almost 2 minutes to get into the main menu (without noticeable hdd activity). - When I get into the game and visit any places in the port (Governor, Merchant, Tavern etc.) it usually takes the game 15-20 seconds to display the next screen (although music plays continuously). - While sailing, the game frequently "freezes" for 2-3 seconds without no apparent reasons.
When those hiccups occur all animations freeze on the current screen until the next screen is loaded but music plays fluently. Reducing the screen resolution, graphical details or disable audio doesn't help.
I remember playing this game several years ago in a native Win XP without this issues.
No demo available.
