Can't log into test?
 
Well I just got back and now I want to log onto test.
But there is a problem!!!
When I log on it verifies my password and then I get a loading circle for ever.
Does anyone else that has test have these problems???

Crazypirate 07-14-2009 11:06 PM

same here cant log onto test

swashbuckler II 07-15-2009 12:07 AM

Still down for me.

Jason Swordfish 07-15-2009 12:14 AM

Ok, cross your fingers! Maybe this is the long awaited update.... MAYBE.

My Wife and I have both tried, we both get the same result. If they actually load an update maybe I'll start playing again. I have moved onto Warcraft recently.

ex8404 07-15-2009 12:41 AM

OK...nice to know I'm not the only one...

swashbuckler II 07-15-2009 02:39 AM

Test is back, and its updating forever
Nevermind it just jumped 1% a second

Luvbug 07-15-2009 03:32 AM

I logged on just fine, and there is nothing new that I saw... didn't even have an update.

Edit: I tried to log in with my other account and got a message saying bad account ID or password.

2nd Edit... My 3rd account works fine... other than a few months ago they made it limited access, and Di had to remind me that I even had it.

Skip ;)

Sven Niscadae 07-15-2009 03:52 AM

Aye, just tried my Test account and go the bad account ID message. ~.^

Dr. Zeppers 07-15-2009 05:34 AM

I am no longer able to login to test either on any of my accounts.

Did they just start going and deleting accounts?

No, don't worry Zep... your account will be back and just fine, probably tomorrow. It's a bug. (send bug report)

Edit: Well, I think they got half the accounts fixed today, so looking forward to the other half (the one I am actually playing on lately) being fixed tomorrow.

Skip ;)

My account is not working right now, can log into open just fine, sending bug report.

Crazypirate 07-16-2009 05:25 PM

I was finally able to log back into test this morning

Shnoodell 07-16-2009 05:39 PM

i wish disney would actually post release notes BEFORE 5 million people can get on and go crazy

MacIronhawk 07-17-2009 12:45 AM

I can't log on. It says my account password was wrong when it wasn't.

EDIT: Yep, they're having server problems. I guess all I have to do is wait until they get it fixed.

P.S. If you can't log on, like me, the person I called said that sending a bug report would be the right thing to do. Logging on POTCO, if you can, is the exact opposite of what they want us to do.

combatlizzy 08-02-2009 10:02 PM

Had the same problem 2 days ago...couldn't log into test. But it was fine yesterday. Haven't tried today, though...things could have changed....

Dr. Zeppers 08-03-2009 01:36 AM

Took me about 6-7 tries, but I finally got test to launch update and load again.

It kept crashing. Im thinking their new launcher is a bit buggy.. hehe.

combatlizzy 08-03-2009 03:29 AM

Had problems again...had to try at least 4 times before I finally got logged in...
Very frustrating....ARGH!!!

greatertater 08-03-2009 07:29 PM

Can't log in either. I thought AVG was to blame
 
However, after taking the steps to sort that out I still can't get the launcher working on a regular basis for the TEST game. It is almost impossible to log in now.

Augie Doodle 08-04-2009 02:08 AM

I finally was able to log in today after doing a complete reinstall of the game, can anyone else get in without having to go that far right now?

Luvbug 08-04-2009 02:14 AM

We found a "work around" for the downloading issue. Copy and paste the info from your open (live) pirate’s folder for game_options and last_working_options into the files (of same names) in the test folder. They told both Di and I that our anti-virus-ware was what was keeping us from loading the update, yet somehow we were both able to log on using the info from the open server. (We have different virus protection)

Augie Doodle 08-04-2009 02:28 AM

Well, I tried that earlier on the Mac, but that did not work, had to go do the complete reinstall.

Dr. Zeppers 08-04-2009 03:33 AM

I suspected something with the options files.

I would guess the new launcher saves another bit of information in those files, and is trying to wipe out the old, and start with a new.

I figured this out as I had successfully ran test, then switched to my 2nd account, and had to go through the whole process again, go figure, arent the files up to date already? I think the new launcher is having issues creating/writing the game config files.

Basil Dreadflint 08-04-2009 04:09 AM

I was able to log in tonight, after not bbeing able to for 3 days. It appeared to do a small update, didn't say anything about the launcher needing updated, then took me to the pick a pirate screen just fine.

Augie Doodle 08-05-2009 04:31 PM

Windows version finally working without having to do anything, and the cannon bug is now fixed!

ukebec 08-05-2009 11:24 PM

I did the launcher update a few days ago, and after re-booting was able to log in again.

Just tried to login now and got the "bad id/password" error message again.

*sigh*

CaptainGreenGene 08-05-2009 11:35 PM

Me either
 
Yeah me either, getting the bad ID message again..

Anyone know the link to download the test server version of POTC?

Here you go. Alternatively, if you delete all of the files/folders in the "C:\Program Files\Disney\Disney Online\PiratesOnline_Test" folder EXCEPT for the launcher (launcher1.exe I think), the launcher will re-download the game the next time you open it.

combatlizzy 08-06-2009 02:56 AM

Had the same problem tonight...Bad username & ID....It seems fickled!! Didn't have a problem for 2 days...
