Another problem, and some questions
Okay, I got the game installed, but the starting cutscene is godawful slow, and the music skips like nobody's business. Any hints?
Related to this... I noticed that the installer wanted me to have timidity++ installed, so I installed that (and a nice soundfont). But all the midis in the music dir seem to have equivalent ogg files, and there are in fact oggs that don't have a midi equivalent. The oggs obviously sound better, so... should I get rid of timidity to force the game to use them? Or would that screw the game up? Does Privateer Remake 1.2 have ALSA support so that it can proper mixing can actually be done?
And finally... Is Burrow's awful whiny voice from the original game?
(BTW, the music is great...)

Try installing the newest release of your video card drivers, that's fixing 99% of all slowness issues.Okay, I got the game installed, but the starting cutscene is godawful slow, and the music skips like nobody's business. Any hints?

The movie is not mpeg or anything like that; it's more like a gazillion images strung together, so it can be taxing on some machines.

Adding mpeg support has been in the to-do list for quite a while.

Okay, I get the low framerate thing... Looking at the animations at bases it looks like a feature, not a bug. Sorry, folks
Unfortunately, the audio continues to stutter, and, weirdly enough, echo - I hear some sounds repeat several times when they shouldn't. Any clues...?
(Also, are the pirates supposed to speak out loud when they taunt me? Because I ain't hearing it.)

Hmmm...Echo...check your speakers for demons, and if you don't know how...
1. Get a Preist, preferably a Vatican or Catholic one
2. Have him excise your speakers/computer, if you hear unholy screams, you found one
3. Sprikle Holy Water liberally, if smoke appears, the demon is going away
Okay seriously, try updating your sound drivers, that might help

I'd say you probably got one soundserver thread too many running.
What happened to me this past two hours was kind of weird. I started at Oxford, but from there I went to many places, but the oxford music kept playing in the background, all the time. When I finally quit playing, I saw another vegastrike button in my task bar. I clicked on it and it was another copy of vegastrike still at oxford...

What's happened to me at times was that after a crash of the main executable, the soundservers were still running, and I'd kill them manually through the task manager. I never had your problem of echos, but if I did, what I'd check first of all is the task manager (ctrl-alt-del), and see if there are too many soundservers there.

You might also have firewall problems. Soundserver connects to itself and therefor passes the firewall. XP users usually get a message then where you can set to always allow or always refuse access. You should always give access for it.
Also, you might be using xp-antispy and therefor have disabled such messages, so xpas prevents you from making the decision personally, and automatically blocks.

Miramor uses linux Dilloh the firewall thing has never been a issue under linux but multi copies of the soundserver are a possibility.

I have the same choking problem
I have a compaq nw9440 (core duo T2600, nvidia quadro fx1500 256MB, 2GB memory...) and I am running Ubuntu Feisty with the latest nvidia drivers. If this much machine can't process some low-res still images and an audio track, there's something wrong.
It happened the first time I started the game, so it oughtn't to be an audio server problem. And if it is, why on earth does the game (or whatever launches it) not check to see if there is one already started?
