Connection Problems

[Arioch]

If you are talking about an issue where you are privateering and port back for ammo resupply and then when you try to get back on the ship which is currently in battle and you get stuck on the wall paper screen where your pirate is clearly on the ship and you can hear the battle and draw sword etc. but cannot see jack?

This is very common and more of an issue with server lag and almost nothing to do with your particular machine. It is simply the server and all the players in one place pushed to the limit.

If you try to wait it out more then likely it will never go past the screen control/alt/delete and shutting down either the PC or the pirates program is the only option. In these cases you can open a chat window and inform the crew you have to log out but you will be typing blind but they will be able to see your words. if you have a friend on board you can hook up in a minute or two after you log back in and tp to him and add to the crew again.

It is common on abassa and andaba but never had the problem anywhere other then privateering or once in a Boss Battle.

Nothing can be done to prevent it.
