Unless it is a bug, I just use the tip provided in the game: "If you've been playing for longer than 2 hours, pershaps it is time to take a break."

This allows my system to clear out any memory leaks and allows my graphics card to cool down a bit (I am running on a low-end system).

Everything else I send as a bug report with screenshots.

The only thing I need help with at the moment: What are the winning numbers for the next lottery?! -)

Toodles,

turning the game off for a bit has nothing to do w/it. It will happen just after I log on sometimes. I even updated the software for my display driver...this is getting annoying....

[QUOTE=quill_fire;16378]turning the game off for a bit has nothing to do w/it. [QUOTE]

This is easy enough to prove:

CTRL + ALT + DELETE
Select Windows Task Manager (depends on which verion of Windows you're running)
Select the Performance tab

Take note of the CPU usage & Physical Memory while running normal programs
Then take note of it when you start up the pirates application
Then take note of 2 it hours later

Guarenteed, there is a significant memory leak the longer you run this application. That proves true for a number of programs that you run - however it's more succeptible to causing "lag" because of the way the game is coded. It's extremely hard to diagnose exactaly what part of the game causes this memory leak - worse than searching for a needle in a haystack.

If I open the "options" window (where you can adjust the screen size, window size, audio, etc...I will get a weird screen resolution afterwards.
My full screen stays and the overall view looks the same, but the icons, controls, chat window, chat text, etc all go very large, like a lower resolution and barely fit on the screen.
I have to completely "log out" and log back in to fix it.
(I have tried readjusting and trying different res, etc)
