(freeware) which ran in DirectX 8 was given away freely eight years agoĪnd completely rebuilt and overhauled by the Buccaneer's Reef Team. Licensing sold and owned by other third party(s). Original Base Game: AGE OF PIRATES 2 – City of Abandoned Ships These are just a few of the long list of improvements/fixes developed over the last couple years that have been most graciously beta-tested by some forum members over at. Various features were added to support further mod capabilities, notably seen in ERAS II, and things like improved ship AI within the engine itself.

Now with built in options to control video adapter selection, VSynch, Triple Buffering, and Antialiasing. Corrected multi-threading of sea calc routines. Save-file compression routine updated (still compatible for old saves, only in GOF, COAS and ERAS 2). Deprecated DDRAW for video has been removed and updated with something newer. Fixed fullscreen task-switching bug that crashed game, to actually allow fullscreen and task/window switching in/out of game without a problem. FMOD, for sound, is updated to the most current and the engine implementation of it completely rewritten for new features. Some other improvements are the swapping out of Windows memory allocation routines, in favor of a famous, more efficient method that increases allocation speed, improves efficiency and reduces fragmentation. Also now provide a 64 bit, for systems using that architecture (though even without, all the same fixes were applied to our DX8 and 32 bit versions, so older systems can still benefit). In addition, we have improved the performance, and also upgraded from the original DirectX 8 (despite the claim on the COAS box, any process explorer showed the game was never actually running DirectX 9). No more! We have overhauled the code, eliminating the vast memory leaks and crash-inducing bugs.
