Those bugs are called Terrain Holes or Boundry Holes. Sometimes you can find them at corners of buildings or where terrain features meet. Like a boulder next to a hillside...where they converge can be a Terrain Hole.

Those are the kind of bugs that the Devs love to be reported. They are game-stopping bugs. When you have to relog to play again, then it is considered a serious bug. Same as getting stuck bugs. And crashing bugs, etc.

When I fall through the terrain, I always use the Shift-F1 to show my poisiton...take a screenshot...and go back to try to replicate the bug. Either if I can or cannot, I issue a bug report and note if it is repeatible.

While I am here to play and have fun, I am mostly here to test. A lot of times, the best bugs are found by the Devs reviewing the players' normal game play. I try to go the extra distance and file bug reports.

Also, the Crash bug report page, which is located in the PiratesOnline folder on your hard drive (Disney Online\PiratesOnline\bugreport.html) only allows you to copy 1 screenshot per submission and has the log files attached. I tend to use the Expanded Bug Report website (https://apps.pirates.go.com/pirates/support/feedback) which allows 3 screenshots and no log files...or the Contact Us website (http://apps.disneyblast.go.com/cgi-b...sbeta/form.tpl) which allows 2 screenshots and no logs. I would NOT SUGGEST you filing the same bug on all 3 websites...this will just get the Devs mad at you and probably ignore your bug/complaints. Pick one that best suits what you need to report and use it. I have had to use the Extended Bug Report the other night to send 3 screenshots of different graphical setting and their results.

Yes, I am just another Pirate...no, I am not a Landlubber! -)
