How Much Lag Do You Get?

How much lag do you get until you crash?

I get about an hour and a half, and that's on unlimited access too.

None unless I'm in a very busy ocean. Then just a little while walking or sailing. I haven't crashed in forever.

Odd, I meet the requirements, and have much more than the requirements, and I still get lag, and it's unlimited access.

I meet the requirements and more and still get so much lag that I quit PotCO until it's fixed. Unlimited Access also.

How half an hour lag? omg...


Are you guys referring to lag as in system lag? or network lag?

I'm guessing its system lag, as I doubt your chat messages would be delayed by half an hour...

Seriously, I have no problem running this game on 1920x1080 resolution on a 40" Monitor, all settings except full reflections on. (Makes Sailing Smooth as... As the only reflective water is when you are on the open sea)

AMD X2 4200+
2GB Ram
8600GT 512MB

Hmmm not sure what kind of lag some are talking about. I play on a yr old laptop, wireless, 1GB. Nothing fancy. I didn't "dummy down" anything in the game. Game defaults, widescreen. (I do have sound off as the music makes me crazy ) Last night in a really busy ocean I noticed it more than in the past. I just switched to a slower ocean and all was fine again.

I know on TT many complain of lag also and while I have it every so often after doing too many boss battles I guess I'm just one of the lucky ones? What the reasons are I have no idea. (knocking on wood just incase )

I play unlimited access, settings maxed out and I only get a very mild lag in very highly populated areas.

It depends on which PC Im on. I dont crash with either one of our PC's, but when I use the kid's PC (which has about the same spec's, but Im sure has all kinds of viruses and Adware and Spyware on it, as well), I have a lot more lag (especially in busy districts and when using the cannons, or when boarding a ship with several people), and have to restart the game after a couple of hours or so, depending on what I've been doing in the game.

Its yar computer, not the game. My fast computer is faster on everything except POTCO, it goes frame by frame. But it has alot of things like mcafee and such. My lap top which is not as guarded is abit slower on other programs, but not on potco.

No lag here, and my connection type is wireless. Actually, no lag isn't quite right... I should say that I have no lag since they fixed that memory leak. The game runs smoothly for me, and I have everything maxed out. Pretty happy.

Now if only they'd fix that Black Pearl quest...

I have lag, since I'm wireless. I usually go to more quiet areas if it gets too bad.
