Laundry list of crashes in April Update POTCO

[Nathaniel Wolfson]

I figure this should be a good place to share problems with the new update.

I, personally, am having problems with teleporting to Tortuga. I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary. Just using my teleport token to go back to Tortuga.

I've now crashed twice by doing this. Once from Port Royal, once from PDF.

Additionally, I've been speaking online with some people who simply can't play at all, it's that unstable.

What kind of problems are you having? And have you found anything that fixes (or at least minimizes) them?

[Aliese]

Uh, well, within a few minutes of playing my ship got sunk, I went down with it, and everyone kept shooting at me. I could actually even still shoot my broadsides...but I don't think I was hitting anything. I had to logout to fix it.

Twice I boarded crewmembers ships and couldn't man the cannons. TPing back to land and trying again seemed to fix it.

What else...OH! I leveled up to 35, and instead of giving me 35 points like it said, it gave me 350. Seriously - I went from 1600 to 1950 (and have a screen cap of it, in case anyone wants to see). My voodoo must have been the same deal, but I wasn't paying attention.
That's one I hope they don't fix.


Edit: The not being able to man cannons has now happened with to doors; I couldn't open any.

Also, my compass disappeared.

Oh, and the error on my HP is only visual...sadly... As soon as I get hit, it takes me back down to where I should have been. It still says 1960 (I guess it was 360 not 350...I'm very observant ), though...

I guess I'm just lucky because so far, no crashes or bugs have resulted by playing the new update of Pirates Online.

You should definitly contact the developers on this one.

I'd start by turning your settings to low (besides special effects so you can see cannons and grenades and staff powers and such) which can lower lag, which can lower chances to crash.

Everytime I go somewhere the little red spinner just keeps spinning, and at first nothing happens then bam, your internet connect has been broken. My internet works fine or else I wouldnt be able to submit this, doh. It seems funny to me that everything is not working when they should have made sure everything worked before they released it out on open, which is the whole point of beta. Get me all excited for new weapons, and ya can't even get them...sheesh.

[Angel]

I can understand your frustration on this but Disney was rushed to keep their deadline. Same with the boss battle. Rush rush rush, people happy for 5 mins, then bam....everyone complaining again. I know the screen loading would get severely annoying, as Ive had that before. Even before the new quests came out. Guess we have to give them time to work the rest of the bugs out. Prob will be doing maintenance in the next few nights to resolve this.

[Eustace the Monk]

Or here's a thought... Start allowing more people into Test, so we can find more of these bugs before they go live. It might make it easier to find a crew or do the Boss, or whatever. If it goes on test and there are maybe 10 people on there, chances are they will not get to testing all the new features with any degree of depth.

Can you tell I want a test account? Of course, I would probably need to shake this case of The Ban first. 1 day, 6 hours to go... *sigh*

Loot Hard!

I agree, more beta testers who are dedicated to the game. I wonder how many originals actually play still? I know I would

[Silhouette]

My game crashes every time I try and set sail. Or on occasion I actually get to sail it crashes soon after or if I fire my cannons. Considering im on a quest to sink Navy Ships it is very annoying.

[Hyde]

I have experienced two problems;

1. My weapons keep freezing up. I can not use them, equip them or change them.
2. My pirate keeps doing things which I'm not tell it to. For example; continual running in circles and when I try and stop him he refuses to.


both of which are extremely annoying.

[Lady Freckles]

I've been playing on Test a little bit recently and my weapons keep freezing up too - can't use them, can't change them, nothing. Only way I fixed it was to log out and back in - that's a pain.

Also had the problem of not being able to use cannons on a friend's ship last night - tp'd back to any island then back to the ship and it was ok again.

As I said, these were on test and have been reported. I know quite a lot of people who play the test server who are great about testing and reporting everything they find. A lot of them have been test players on TT for years and are used to Disney's way of doing things - receive the bug reports, work on it a bit but go ahead and release to open anyway, then maybe fix it after that. Seen it time and time again on TT.

yup i have the same problems only i cant sail either

Count me in! I'd be willing to waste countless hours beta testing this pig. Like others in this thread I can't sail, can't cannoneer, and can't use broadsides.

Guess I'll work on yer pic tonight Angel

Sorry - I would of posted my Pistol Bug here but I was so 'peeved' when I came out for the third time to submit a Bug Report I didn't notice...

That is gonna be a pain until they fix it....

[TangoBaby]

well at least 3 people i know received trojans today as the downloaded the new update. and of my 3 pcs, one received a trojan as well, spent entire day fixing this. and this is like a 10 percent rate of virus' . Also all the bugs that have been on test server were just included on the open server today. it REALLY would help if disney would open test to new testers.

[Maximvs]

Well I thought the Gun Bug was my biggest issue... nope

With the TP bug (5 crashes) and the Boarding Ship bug (7 crashes) - I think I'll call it a nite...
