However, none of the easy methods for patching the game (hex editor instructions, patch utilities) worked on GOG's 2.0.0.5 version, so I made this Java program to make patching GOG's latest version easy for everyone-hopefully. I subsequently read about several people who had patched foreign or older versions of the game.

It was pretty fun but it's 1024x768 or 1280x1024 resolutions looked dumb on my very wide screen MacBook Pro at 1440x900.

I have read that much has changed in the patches with some features added so maybe that is a good thing for those who didn't like P4 originally, i don't know.I bought Patrician 3 from GOG. Moving back to Patrician 4 though, i know P3 has been put as the best in the series, but since i have never played any of them i can only compare them to PR2 which is most likely going to be much more different than i expect, so for that reason i will play P4 rather than a earlier one. I think we should replace Brandy for Rope and then added as a required good for the sail upgrade at Bermuda. While i was looking at it i soon noticed one good type we have missing which is very important and should be made as a good required for sail upgrades (rope). All i know is my copy is already fully up to date with the latest patch ever released. So when GOF is released i think i am going to have to play it and see if it has the same level of addiction Port Royale 2 has which i was pleasently suprissed works fine on Windows 7 (i must have a more up to date copy, because i read some copies don't work on anything other than XP). I picked Patrician 4 up the day it came out and as i was having a clean out of my old games i picked the game up and thourght i should give this a chance because i have never played any of them, so till earlier today i never even knew it was similar to Port Royale 2. I just picked them up as a next game to play as each was released. I have got all the Patrician games just never sat down and played any of them, i was hooked on Port Royale 2 and didn't do any research into what Patrician 1, 2 or 3 was about.
