Release Note 5-2-08
 
Ok i didnt know if this was "front page news" or not so i just posted this here this includes the latest known issues and release notes

Release Notes - May 2 2008
  • Put in a fix to prevent player on player damage that was occurring in parlor games and other non-PvP instances
  • Put in fixes for a handful of crashes related to sailing, PvP, and the Lookout System
  • Removed invalid crew invitation messages appearing when players switched servers
  • Put in a fix for input controls freezing when using the pistol, grenades, or tonics
Known Issues 5-2-08
  • New HP upgrades were implemented but not applied until a pirate levels up.
    • Workaround: We are working on a patch to automatically update all pirates upon login including those at level 40. (this has been confirmed updated severl lvl 40's in our guild have reported having 2300+ hp)
  • The compass colors representing friendlies have mistakenly been switched around - green for players and blue for in-game characters.
  • Occasionally, on certain Mac computers, the game texture will seem to appear missing or distorted
  • A recent AVG Internet Security update falsely detects Pirates Online's "Launcher1.exe" as a Trojan Horse.
    • Workaround: Download the latest definition file from AVG released Sunday, April 27
  • Occasionally, your pirate will remain as an undead pirate after a PVP match (FIXED)
  • Occasionally, a Boss Battle crew will not remain intact after teleporting to the Boss Battle
  • Flagships will occasionally sling shot left and right when grappled
  • Flagships are disappearing intermittently when using a crew of 9-12 people
  • Icon over avatar heads in PVP will toggle between 3 different images
  • Members of the crew will sometimes get left behind when boarding a flagship, causing the player to be unable to move.
    • Workaround: Hitting F1 will release the player.
  • Once disabled, Flagships sometimes sink before you can successfully grapple them.
  • Using Firebomb cannons on a Flagship will ultimately sink it before you can board the ship.
    • Workaround: Don't use Firebomb cannons.
  • The Whisper chat window closes the second time you click Whisper and try to send a message. (FIXED)
    • Workaround: Close and re-open the Pirate's avatar panel each time you want to whisper to a fellow Pirate.
  • The Lookout System seems like it is often not able to find matches for higher level Pirates looking to do PVP
    • Workaround: Invite other high level Pirates to PVP before initiating the Lookout System.
  • The chat panel sometimes switches to Local when you are chatting with your Guild or Crew.
    • Workaround: Click either the Guild or Crew chat tab.
  • On rare occasions, pressing the Enter button on the keyboard will not bring up the Chat window.
    • Workaround: Click on the gold arrow next to the skull icon, which is found in the bottom left hand corner of the game window.
  • Occasionally, on certain Mac computers, the game texture will seem to appear missing or distorted creating an almost snowy effect to the landscape.
  • Game does not minimize when clicking Upgrade button on Mac.
    • Workaround: Switch your game settings to Windowed Mode
  • Grenades are not hitting the fort floors or ship floors.
    • Workaround: You must hit an enemy directly to cause damage.
  • Client memory usage goes up over time (i.e. memory leaks).
    • Workaround: Shut the game down and restart if you see your performance degrading vastly over time.
  • Vista and Mac game-related crashes occurring while boarding, sailing, and docking ships
    • Workaround: For users with ATI video cards, try updating to the newest driver version which you can download from here
  • Graphics issues (such as missing texture and weird display issues) on Macs, related to OS 10.5.1
  • Player ships disappearing when a Server goes down and is then taken out of rotation
  • Difficulty with finding the diamond on Queen's Nest, in the Recover Treasure Quest
