• Fixes a bug in multiplayer game where the host does not receive information about sail repair.
• Fixes a bug in save games during campaigns.
• Fixes a bug in editor in the 3D models preview.

Improvements:

• Multiplayer game is more stable now.
• Improved and better balanced damage system. There is now less sail damage and more hull damage (special thanks to Fury).
• Improved visuals of 3D ships in the far distance.
• GameSpy in-game launch. GameSpy Arcade is required for playing Privateer's Bounty over the Internet. There may have been some confusion for playing multiplayer PB on the Internet. If you click the Internet button in the Multiplayer menu, you are prompted to close the game and launch GameSpy arcade. If GameSpy is not installed, you are prompted to close the game and install GameSpy arcade. Clicking YES on either of these prompts will close the game and automatically start the GameSpy launch or install respectively.
