Server Down?
 

Anyone else having trouble logging on tonight?

Shut down for maintenance

Does it need maintenance?

Yes, it does.

Seriously?:eek: It needs more than they seem to be able to handle:)

Server is up.

can anyone get back on? mine closes abnormally after i try to log on

Try restarting your client. If that doesn't work, try rebooting your computer.

:confused: i guess i'm having the same problem. i was playing earlier tonight before the maintenance shut down...play was choppy at best with frequent crashes...NOW after the game launch when the black connect screen comes up i get a microsoft msg from POTC saying pirates of the caribbean has enncountered a problem and will now shut down. ??? now what? i already tried reboot and same thing happens. 1073741819 Game closed abnormally!! ARG this is frustrating! :eek:

I am having the exact same issue and error code. I have been able to play no problem until this last update. I just tried to play on my laptop and I can play it there, but it doesn't work as well as this used to, so something changed. Could it be DirectX related?

I only encountered the "game closed abnormally" problem once. After that, I've been able to connect without any problems. I don't know if the problem is DirectX related, but I'm sure it's update related if you've been able to play no problem until this last update. It's possible that the update corrupted a file so I suggest reinstalling the game.

Yeah... I tried that, and it still won't let me in. I think it's because we aren't actually supposed to be in the game yet; at least, the beta hours haven't started yet.

after a ... Game closed abnormally I reinstalated the game and then I got a little movie while it was loging in, but I was also showing the third movie trial and the movie had sound, so I closed the game and now it's logging in again but without that little movie. and it's slow...

edit:

it gives an error everytime i logging again...

Well we're out too. We have 3 computers and since last night we cannot get in on any of them. Uninstalled/reinstalled game, redownloaded directx 9, still get a windows error when it tries to open the game window (after launcher window closes.) Very disappointing, hope they figure this out.

As of 11:45 EDT server is up and running rather well so far.
