Yeah just saw it and wanted to post it here. But Mad Jack allready did! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Well will install it right now. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" />


EDIT: Great, this Patch is only for the US Version and doesn't work with the EU Version. Hope we'll see an EU Patch soon. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":c" border="0" alt="mad.gif" />
 
hence the name of the patch: Pirates_101_US.exe

...anyway, am at work so can't install but some over at parrot are talking about permission problems although it seems the people having the inssue have installed the game at a `non-standard` mount point. anyone successfully install it yet?
 
As long as you aren't using the `no-CD` patch and have Disk 1 in the drive, you should have no problems. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

huh? this is new. is this some "did you buy the game" thing now with patches? does it tell you to insert it? or did you just say "heck, i've never put in the game disk to install a patch before but i think i'll just go ahead and do it this time"?? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_eek.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock:" border="0" alt="icon_eek.gif" />

Although the update is not all it is cracked up to be.

The "No food/no mutiny exploit" fix is not fixed. Oodles of money and no food still make for happy crew. Have already tried this one.

Land battles sped up by moving the <b>same problems </b>along the map faster.
 
Wll I put in CD 1 into the CDROm and now the installer tries to install the Patch on CD! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

Guess I'm going to wait for an EU Patch! :par


EDIT: If your're right rupertlittlebear, well then it doesn't sound good.

Bad news, it seems that his patch also creates a problem, whenver i duel the annoying captain right efter i have selected weapon he has the raymondo model.

Also the movement and all on the land battles seem to happen way to fast now <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dp_nogd.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ng" border="0" alt="dp_nogd.gif" />

I'm not sure which version Australia uses because we speak English but are not in Europe. However, when I try to install the patch with CD1 in the drive, it comes up with an error message saying that it can't find a file on the CD. Are the Aussies waiting with Europe or is my CD just scratched?

EDIT: Sorry about that, I installed a fresh copy and now it works. I'm such a dumbass! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
- Crew will no longer be seen swinging from ropes in dueling when eliminated.

huh. I have never seen this. Maybe I need a faster computer?

And does this patch fix the way the barmaid always repeats the location of the treasure fleet? Allways made it real hard to find em.
 
The patch apparently fixes the treasure fleet, according to Rupertlittlebear's tests, so that it actually returns to the Caribbean every year.

It is unfortunate that it also brings about those new bugs (annoyed captains turn into Raymundo, cannot change the nationality of a town that you have once already turned).
