Can't connect to POTCO? *Merged*

My internet is working fine, but when I try to play POTCO, it just can't find a connection. After I log in, the little movie starts to play, and on top of the movie, it sasy "connecting to the game, one moment pl...."
But it just stays there, not frozen, since its still running... But not making any progress either. Waited for 20 minutes... and nothing, still loading...
Anyone having this problem too?

Choose different server, if its happening before that screen, check other video games and if there laggy or having the same problem restart your router.

Maybe they're working on the new Queen Anne's Revenge update, finally! Well, hopefully...

Same problem with Desktop Launcher. Over an hour so far since logging in and no change. Playing from Browser is okay. Don't understand why this is happening.

I tried browser, it worked for the first time, but there was no QAR, so logged off. Tried to log on half an hour later, and browser doesn't work too....

Same problem happened with me. I ended up just going to browser after a while. This might be their way of weaning out the desktop launcher, I think.

Yay, my browser is up! But the graphics on the browser is really bad, and there's random patterns and shadows everywhere, same as test. And my weapons look like potato mush...
I raised my graphics to highest, pressed save and completely closed POTCO, then reopened it... still the same...
Anyone experiencing this too?

Checking launcher right now...

Mine still has the connecting to the game thing on my launcher. "Connecting to the game - one moment please..." *snort* and it includes, just under that "Don't want to wait? Upgrade to Unlimited Access!"

Post help

I have came back to play this game after several years , and have a problem the only way it seems i can play is through the firefox 3 web browser is there not a way to play through the separate game launcher any more for the better graphics and game play? I have a lot better machine now 15 2500k with dual 6870 vid cards and running win 7 x64 pro... Before i was running a standaard acer store bought machine with integrated nvidia 6100 graphics. I got the launcher and it just sits there with the red ring circling for hours and it doe's not download anything... somone plz help I love this game and it saddens me that i can only run it through an out of date web browser

If you have Basic Access, the game will refuse to log in from the launcher for a LOOONG time. Look at this thread to read up more on the problems people have been having.

I run the game on Internet Explorer, if that helps. Crestshot does have a point, though.
