I just checked Playlogic's official forums, there has been a lot of activity there the past couple of days. There is a list of known bugs up, but I am not sure how accurate it is.

Sorry to start such a topic, but I think the game has a huge potential and should be improved ASAP, so I will start with the bugs I have found in the German version so far.
Chars and Quests:
- Peter Blood doesnt get any key in the first mission (open chest to get sword), so this story-line cant be played as the guard will kill you
UPDATE: Key is very small and lying on the table in the main hall... well, little hint where to get the item would have been nice...
- Spanish char (no matter specialization) starts on a ship. You cant interact with nothing, nobody comes, you cant go to worldmap etc. -> story-line cant be played either
- "Find the spy in Port Royal" : This kind of mission description sucks, I have no idea, where or how to find this person.
- Neutral Nation going hostile if you cant fullfil a governer mission... honestly, as said before, I cant find the spy or in the 3rd mission this harbormaster guy in the enemy town, so I will never get my rank with this nation.
- I have completely NO IDEA where or how to find a main quest and there is no obvious hint where to go or to find
General:
- Gunnery skill: even if the skill is low... Im standing with a frigate 50 yards away from a MANOWAR and fire broadside and my gunners hit NOTHING... seriously. You could throw the cannonball onto the deck, so how should they have missed with the guns?????
- Crashes: I noticed, IF I have a crash to desktop, it happens when I leave a building manually. If I go with fast travel everything is fine. Also, sometimes when trying to board a ship -> CTD.. havent found a good reason for this
- Friendly harbor opens fire for NO reason (I leave town, suddenly fort opens fire, i am neutral and havent shot or hit anything before)<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
And these...
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->1. Playing as Peter Blood i cannot remove equipped weapons, although i can replace them buy just click"equip" on another weapon.
2.It seems like the mission log sometimes misses to add info about a mission you get, i've noticed this a couple of times.
3. Playing as Peter Blood the guards in the town sometimes goes invisible, i noticed this when i accidentally somehow managed to get stopped by one for carrying arms, the problem was that there wasn't any guard nearby.
4. Playing as Peter Blood and doing the mission for the moneylender where you need to find this guy that loaned money from him under a false name. You need to go to the shipyard after you've spoken to the innkeeper at the tavern, when you get there and confront the man that loaned money under a false name, you get three dialog choices. I chose the first alternative where you urge him to repay the money, but he just leaves the shipyard and is no where to be found and he has not re payed the money to the moneylender. At this point the only thing you can do is to reload the a saved game and select another alternative. If you don't a save game before you've spoken to him, all you can do is to restart the campaign/character.
5. Playing as Peter Blood and carrying unequipped weapons the guards can still "see" them. They will take them from you which kinda sucks. The only weapon you can carry around is a dagger that you get from one of the slaves in the slave camp when you give him medicine for headache.
6. As mentioned before, it's really hard to hit with cannons if your accuracy skill is low. I opened fire with a frigate and didn't hit a lugger that was close by.
7. Playing as Peter Blood at the slave camp island (the one you start on) some guards can instantly kill you with a heavy swing. This will get very annoying when you are close to completing the escape. There is also some "special" guards (captains i guess) that is really hard to beat. When you later in the game will try to take over a Frigate so that you can escape, you will need to fight a captain. This captain can kill you with one shot from his gun. he can also kill you with 2-4 light strikes. Perhaps a damage reduction on some of the guards/captains would be good?
8. I do not think this is a bug but it's something that i think the devs should look into. Fighting several enemy's is almost impossible, at least at low lvls. The health regeneration some enemy's have is insane. For example i was attacked by 3 bounty hunters as Peter Blood. The fight started and i did my best to kill them, although it was impossible. They regenerated faster than i could do damage to them. This is something i find to be outright game breaking to some extent... Fighting 3 enemy's is hard enough, and fighting them with this ability to get full health in matter of seconds does not make it easier...<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
