This patch solves some minor language, text and scripting problems, as well as implements the following changes:
- Multiplayer: only the host is now able to save the current game.
- Multiplayer: it's not longer possible to start a multiplayer game without any clients.
- Laptop: Parameter "/windowed" added, this parameter allows to run the game in a windowed mode.
If you encounter any problems when running Port Royale on a Laptop computer you should start Port Royale in the windowed mode to solve the problems.
Within the Windows-Startmenu (standard: Start/Programms/Port Royale) you'll find a new shortcut to run "Port Royale window". To use the windowed mode of Port Royale you should use a Windows desktop resolution higher than 1024x768 pixels.
- AutoSave: some Problems with the AutoSave-Routine were fixed.
