Application shutdown issues

[Glib]

Anyone else having a problem when shutting down Pirates? When I shut down my game window about 2/3 of the time I get:

• The Pirates login screen is running but the UI fails to show
• Internet Explorer attempts to startup (I assume to log a bug) but locks up
• At this point I have to go into Windows Security and shut IE down
• My machine is usually hosed at this point and I have to do a hard restart

Grrrrr... Windows XP SP2 ; Norton *sigh*, Nvidia 7600 GT (newest drivers), E6600

You may want to try uninstalling/reinstalling POTCO. Seems a corrupt file finds its way in there somewhere rather frequently.

yea might be a corrupt file but i knwo for vista users i think (i have vista) and everytime i log off wheather it be click the X or log out or what ever i get a pop up saying potco has stopped working then the launcher restarts and the potco bug report screen pops up usually i just log out of them with no problem i know someone else who has vista and runs the same computer i run and has the same problem it doesnt affect my computer its just annoying

Me too, im that other person with the same system.. hehe.

I've also on ALL machines that i've played POTCO on, often received a Loss of Internet Connection message when I exit, again with little or no side effects, just annoying. You might try checking any other programs or anything else that may be running in memory at same time. I use Norton Antivirus on all my machines, its not the problem, but other Norton products, like that blasted security suite they sell very well might.

i run symantec anti-virus

Happens to me every time Chris. It's annoying. I've sent in countless bug reports, with...SHOCK...no response. I'll just keep being annoyed. Doesn't seem to effect anything else.

Thanks OFx, reinstall's a good idea.

Norton Security Suite... yah the Internet Security Suite, heh. That's what I have, and it is a resource hog.

So's thier antivirus (nortons/symantec), but it doesnt stop the game.

I'd always been a long time user of the Nortons product line (now distributed by Symantec) but that security suite has brought many of our clients networks to a sudden halt (which is why its not one of my favorites for sure)
