Horrible disconnecting issue, question.
 

Lately, well, to be more specific, ever since El Patron's sword went live, I've had horrible connection issues.

Usually I'm fine for the first hour, but then sometimes I'll end up freezing up; seeing my pirate frozen and still hearing music, and then the screen just goes grey. (black but for my vista when I click on something that won't load it turns grey)

Anyways, this has happened four times today, twice within the last ten minutes.

Anyone know how to fix this? I'm pretty sure it's not on my end, but maybe it is. Any advice?

maybe its a sign saying to stop playing potco.. (no fence..)

Mac, I would try Live Chat. :)

I've been having the same type of problem with windows xp. The game will either freeze. My moniter will go to endless sleep or the game just crashes all together. Don't know if it's my computer or the game, but I'm guessing a little of each.

Have you checked your settings? If you're on high this could be the case that your computer can't handle all of the graphics and etc so it's gonna burn out and stuff. If this is not it I too have experienced a tad bit more lag, not alot but enough for me to notice. If this can't work I suggest trying LOW or going to LIve Chat with POTCO, even though they might say change your Graphic Dirext9 thing which they did to me ( For Open Chat??? ) so try to reinstall the game also.

Ending up frozen alot more too usually esc works for me.

Unfortunately I've learned my computer can no longer play the game for extended periods of time without having some issues.

Oh well, but at least I'm not the one to play for eight hours a day.

does ur computer get really hot when you play? cuz if it dose u might need a fan for ur computer.............................

usually waiting for five minutes and pressing ctrl alt delete while its in that state should fix it
