KiNgBrAdLeY7: Patch fixes potentially gamebreaking issues, like AI assaulting your betrothed's town and resetting everything, romance included, or main/Named pirates you have to hunt down, being sunk by AI instead of you. And a variety of other serious issues.
Also, patch adds gameplay elements like adding THREE swords and styles to choose from, for swordfights! Staff which old pirates had, but the remake added it through the 1.2 official patch!
If you apply that patch manually, it breaks game, always to crash in black screen and as for CD, lol, Gog version asking for CD!
It's already latest version .
