Change name For those who do not want to show up as CODEX in multiplayer go into the install folder, go to plugins, open steam_emu and change CODEX to whatever you want your name to be,
when you download the game, the folder contains a .iso file which is a disk image, you need to mount it with daemon tools or winiso, which emulates putting the disk in the computer, use file explorer and go to the mounted drive to see the files or using winiso you will already see the contained files and there is the codex folder
Sounds like the game was not cracked, I guess your anti virus or Windows Defender has killed the crack without letting you know about it. Try installing again, this time make sure you anti virus / Defender is off.
If you want more sailing than fishing, try Fishing Barents Sea. It's more about fisherman simulator and can customize from fishing equipment to boat equipment
there are some boats, but you gatta fish for a bit to unlock em, this is my favorite fishing game because its a bit more arcade style as the fish always bite and you dont need to know alot about fishing to play it
