Desktop Launcher? *Merged*
 
Does anyone know if there is a new POTCO desktop launcher that works?
Or is POTCO still making us play on browser?

Loading issues?
 
Well, this is really annoying me. I can launch the program from the web browser. It seems to go all fine and dandy. I go onto a public ship to do some plundering with my new character and (this is just today after the update), it locks up. I can move and everyone can talk.. but everything around the ship is frozen. So, I teleport to Tortuga. It won't even teleport!

So, by now I'm frustrated. I close it out and go back in. I level up my pistol before I realized I wasn't on Abassa like I thought. So, I teleport. Frozen again!


Is anyone else having the same problem I am with this new update?

I do, I do!

Ok, you can get the pirates launcher online, or you can seed it from another computer, OR you can have a friend send it to you provided you do know someone in real life who also plays on launcher. I'm not sure we are supposed to post links to other sites on here but look for it on file planet or google it.

Last night I couldn't log on through the browser so I unistalled the game completely from my computer. Then I went back and logged in and it let me download the launcher. The only problem I'm having with using the launcher is that when I try to change the screen format to window mode, the whole thing goes black. I gave up. Lol! I hope you have better luck than I did. :pirate6:

If you are Basic Access, you cannot play in launcher. However, if you are Unlimited Access and want a launcher, here it is:

I think you can just download it from a link in the Release Notes... I did it, but it isn't loading. :( Probably because the game is entirely down, though. Hope it works! ;)

EDIT: doesn't seem to be loading at all. I click it and it just says "Retrieving Version Info", then nothing else happens. -_-

I cant even play the game right now... o_o

ameliapond 06-29-2011 01:35 AM

After all those problems, I couldn't play it anymore either. Totally wouldn't do anything..


But it's working now! Hopefully with no issues..

HammyTheSquirrel 06-29-2011 02:17 AM

I tried the new launcher.... doesn't even open up! O_e

I have had trouble loading the game in the first place since Queen Anne's Revenge was added. With this update, it now loads the game, but when it gets to 30 some % it stops.

I've tried it, it says you half ill load faster if you had basic. Had it loading for the whole day for 12 hours. Nothing.... Bought unlimited and worked fine. :)

I've been using the browser since potco came back online today. I re-installed the launcher since I was having issues earlier with it. After logging in and loading it says, "Connection Closed!" Is anyone else having that problem? I have unlimmited access.
