Does that happen if you change any of the options in the "Options" menu? I know that messes up the game pretty badly.
Better change options before starting/loading a game.

The correct installation instructions can be found in the opening posts of this thread and a link to this thread is included in the <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?showtopic=11369" target="_blank">Build Mod Downloads</a> sticky.

Do I need patches 1 and 2? Wait! I just found information that 3 is replaced 1 and 2. What about the "small patch?"
I can't just install build 14 Alpha 9 full version and ignore all these other files can I? Nah.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->Correct, correct and correct. You need Build 13 Final, Build 14 Alpha 9 and Patch 3. The other files you don't need. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

the Build 13 content is not included in the Build 14 Alpha 9 download.
