Unable to load pirate
Just wondering if anyone else had seen this issue.
When I first started playing POTC about 4 weeks ago or so, the game ran pretty smoothly. Occasionally I'd have a bug when changing servers or the odd flagship boarding problem. As time went on, the problems became more and more frequent. D said all the usual about packet dropping and so on - I had the phone company out (DSL) and they replaced the network interface on the house. No improvement. In the last week, the problem has progressed to a point where I can't log into my pirate at all, with the very rare exception and then only until I try to change areas or oceans. When I log in, I get the island title screen with the spinning red wheel which just spins forever.
So, the twist now is that we created a new pirate in the second slot for my daughter, and this low level pirate has no trouble logging on at all. I jumped oceans over and over to verify, and logged out and back in to both pirates a couple dozen times to verify that it wasn't just a coincidence. Perfect logins on new pirate, stalemate on the older pirate.
I have a new pending trouble ticket into D that was posted before this discovery, and I'll add this new information to it when they give me the expected unhelpful response on Monday, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this type of problem. I'm assuming at this point that some kind of corruption has crept into my first pirate and the game can't figure out what to do with it.
Thanks!
