This new version of the Privateer 2 patch can be downloaded here, feel free to join into the ongoing CIC thread here Hopefully this option should help with that. It becomes necessary to coerce P2 to use one specific MIDI device, which can be problematic, especially in Windows 8.
Third party MIDI software synths are a great alternative to Microsoft's default synth, but unfortunately might now work well together with P2 as of yet. Privateer 2 Patch: Since the first release, I managed to make a few tweaks to the MIDI code and added a very simple setup utility which allows selecting a specific MIDI device for use with P2. You can get it here and follow the CIC thread here. The subtitle code ended up being reworked as well, and should hopefully work better in the more recent versions of Windows.
Basically, i changed the DirectShow interface being used by the patch in order to improve compatibility with Wine, which means the patch now works correctly on Linux. WCP DVD Patch: due to the release of the WCP on GOG, i decided to revisit my WCP DVD patch and make a few improvements. I've been making a few tweaks here and there to a few of my projects since the last update.
