PT Boats: South Gambit

Yet another unplayable release. Akella is a developer to be avoided. Crashes like hell, have to gut options to get it to run. Do not get. Could've been a cool war game/sim, but lazy developers get you lazy products.

Hey there i just bought both of the PT-Boats game the South Gambit and also the a PT-Boats knoght of the sea.Those games doesnt work or are unplayble it starts up to when it says "loading Ships" the everything freezes cant play the game,i read in the forums that if you are changing from Directx 9 to Directx10 or higher it wont work and now i cant find the way to get it back to Dx9...i want a refund on those games or you steam people have to find the weay to fix this. Best regards. Gisli Einar

Great Game! Too bad it doesn't work for everybody, but still a quality game, Great Graphics, Wonderful Gameplay

This game at least doesnt crash if you have the settings turned down. It is ok - not a ton of fun but something to pass the time. The real problem is that it is just slow to get to the action.

Its not that the game does not work. Its the fact that it works for windows 7 anything else it will not work. Thats why even with the fact windows will no longer support windows 7 most of my games play on it. SO even when i get windows 10 PC i will still hold on to my windows 7 for gaming purposes!!!

Интересно.

This is a truly horrible game. I tried to play it for a couple of days then uninstalled it.

Still works on Windows 10. Latest version before Win 11. 64bit. Game is old as the sky and just as the previous one crashes if you try to go for Directx 10. Stay on 9.0c In addition gfx settings may change randomly so my advice: Don't dismiss the graphics panel that comes, check it every time you launch. Additionally disconnect other screens using windows own 'Display Settings'. You can enable them again after game. Now you dont have cursor running away to other screen. So once you got the technical side in order it is a decent game. It is still one of the few PT Boat games there is. And i am pleased with this one and it's predecessor. Knight of the Sea. It gives you the right amount of 'being there' feeling i like so much in the first game. You are not a god in these games, in fact skirmishing and trying to find the right angle to come in and use those torpedoes is the name of the game. Game could be improved in a ton of ways but that is not going to happen.

Unfortunately Knights of the Sea and Souther Gambit both don't work anymore after the last updates of Windows 10. I'ts a shame: these, with Silent Service V, are still the best and most realistic combat simulator availble Per qualche ragione, nè Knight of the Sea, nè Southern Gambit funziona più con Windows 10 dopo gli ultimi aggiornamenti. Peccato: sono ancora oggi, insieme a Silent Hunter V i migliori è più realistici simulatori di combattimento navale.

Why did I buy this?
