Who is able to play on their main pirate?

[monkeefriend]

i just got a laptop for my daughter in March with Vista OS....and same thing happens on hers as on my lappy with XP sooooooo... Pirates of the carribean has encountered a problem and will close now. sorry for the inconveinance. send ~ don't send ~ then bug report.

Okay, I just installed the game on my husband's almost new Dell, with XP. I can now get in the game, with my level 12 pirate!

There must be some common configuration that certain computers have that are still working. Is it a video driver? direct x? processor ? I wish I knew more...

I can play my main level 5? pirate, but I can't enter any caves ("kill a skeleton" message) and my chapter 3 quests are stuck (kill the assassin dressed as an EITC soldier).

I started a new pirate once I realized Molly wouldn't enter any caves. Sarah did everything fine until she got her freebie boat and tried to sail to Devil's Anvil. The ship disappeared halfway and I was stuck swimming.... except that I didn't go anywhere at all. Had to log out to get back to land.

*sigh*

So why do you think some people are able to use their main pirate and others cannot?

My main I can't get on
My secondary I can't get on
My first pirate created after the update, I can't get on after I crashed during game play
My second pirate created after the update, I CAN get on. The game hasn't crashed on me yet with this new pirate. I think once I get a game crash, I won't be able to get on this one either.

My theory is that your last pirate will crash when you accept a Quest...

My guess is from the first Black Pearl Crew member (not Scarlett, but after that when the you can select the Quest from a list)

OR

Will Turner (if you've leveled up enough to get offered Daggers).

...Bonita (for the first crew member) or
...Hendry Cutt (if you pick the second crew member instead) or
...Will Turner (if you elect to try that first)


There may be a limit to the number of Quests you can have. Maybe, maybe if you finish the Luther Quest first...


Peace,

Well my last "new" pirate did crash when I was doing a crew member quest (Pidgley).

We'll see what happens because I just finished proving loyalty and have to go back to Gibbs


Edit - Ok with this 2nd "new" pirate I accepted the Hendry Cutts quest, talked to Scarlett, got my new quest and the game froze. I logged out properly, instead of hitting the X, and am able to get back on. I think with my last one, when the game froze I hit the X to exit the game.

Well, whatever the update was, it didn't help me or many other people.

I still can't even get to the "Create a pirate" screen, and I was able to about 1 or 2 weeks ago, but I couldn't get farther than that then.

Well, I'm on a Gateway laptop - no problems until last Friday - can't see any updates - no server busy message - just good old microsoft error message - arrgghh!!! Even though I won't have time to play much in the next week I sure wish they would fix it - bug reports don't seem to make a difference - aaarrgghh!!!

[Pirate Funnymush]

There has been an upgrade to version pirates_1_0_8_1 last night. I can now access my main pirate account.

[MidnightParade]

Nice to know it's not just me who can't login. Haven't been on in a few days and I'm getting the microsoft message. And just when i was all excited to play again!

[Ms_Moofers]

I can't get on old pirates or new pirates - sigh - and will be out of town with limited computer time for the next week - sigh - I miss playing - haven't gotten on since they closed for maintenience on Friday - microsoft error - using XP on this computer - won't let me load on other computer (not as fast but boy am I desperate) -

off topic - guess I'll watch POTC 1 and 2 tonight with the hope I will get to see #3 shortly after it's release!

[domestcwench]

I just got something different, I went to sign on and a little screen came on that said Sorry all servers are busy at the moment and it had shadows of two pirates fighting in the background.

[piratesahoy]

An update? my fingers and toes are crossed

[Monkeyman]
