If you want things to work correctly, you have to follow instructions. The patch is necessary - please download the .zip, and put the files within the .zip into your main PlaneShift directory, which in most cases is C:\Program Files\PlaneShift Crystal Blue.
You may want to reboot your computer first, just to make sure that you have no hidden PS processes running that may prevent you from installing the patch correctly.
