- SafeDisc retail DRM does not work on Windows Vista and later (see above for affected versions).
- StarForce DRM for this game does not work on modern versions of Windows (see above for affected versions).
- Tropico Reloaded is a bundle that contains Tropico, the Paradise Island expansion, and Tropico 2: Pirate Cove.
- The Steam version of Tropico 2 is only version 1.1, which means it is missing the many fixes and improvements of the 1.2 patch. It's possible to manually install the patch over the Steam version, but then the game will require a no-cd crack to run.
