My Issue With Cuba - Pirates of the Caribbean Online Fansite & Forums

CarribeanThunder · #1 04-12-2010, 12:08 AM

Well, yet again, my main Test character is stuck on Cuba. I decided that since most of the crashings I've had are gone, I would try to go to Cuba to see if THAT works - big mistake. I now get booted whenever I try to log on to my main character. I've downloaded the launcher ( Thanks to others for giving me the link ), uninstalled, and nothing has worked. I want to see if I can fix things by logging in through a Desktop Icon, but I don't have it, nor do I know how to get it. So I am forced to play on a new pirate.

.....Which brings me to another thing - fighting Undead Gravediggers, I seem to get more Loot Containers on my new pirate than my main pirate did. Maybe lower levels have a better chance of getting stuff, or it's just a coincidence....

Back to the main thing - is there ANY way I can fix this? If not, than I can only hope that Disney is planning another reset ( However, I know this will effect others - that's the bad side ).

This might be happening to only me, but I want to warn you - do NOT go to Cuba for whatever reason. I don't want anyone else to suffer what I have to suffer for the second time.

Try contacting Disney, they should know the answer to your problem.

Undead gravediggers are a good place to get loot. They are quick to kill, and since level of enemies don't effect drops, they are sometimes the best. Although, I find Samuel to drop more treasure chests.

Cuba is safe, something must of happened when you teleported. When this happened to me, I was teleporting somewhere, then I ended up getting disconnected.

I am confused. Are you playing through your Browser? Like IE or Firefox? Or through the launcher installed on your PC?

I run it through my PC only and rarely have problems logging on...There are several posts here in the helm with the download link...

Yes, from the Browser, and yes, from IE - and THAT is why I'm having the problems. That's really the only way I am able to play ( So far ). My desktop had the Desktop Icon, and from there, I logged on to Test no problem. This computer ( Windows Vista Laptop ) doesn't have the Desktop Icon, so I can't really do much more than to log on from the accursed browser.

I don't have problems logging on, it's being able to play on my main character that I'm having problems with. I can log on to it, but since I am on Cuba, I get booted. I don't know ANYTHING about why this seems to happen only to me, nor do I know if it happens to anyone else ( Although I highly doubt it happens to anyone else from what I've seen ). Honestly, I've just about given up on the Test Server for now until I get my Desktop to work. But, UNTIL then, I won't be logging on to Test at all.

I downloaded the launcher countless times, but it seems like it's not helping. I don't know what difference it's supposed to make because I haven't SEEN a difference. I'm probably doing something wrong, so if someone could tell me what downloading the launcher is supposed to do, please do so.

Ever since Disney started this whole "play from the browser" thing, I've been having issues with Test. I'm really getting annoyed.

Then its a browser issue. It has not been happening to me.

Crestshot · #6 04-12-2010, 02:10 AM

That's because you're not on test James

***Sven Osymthe*** · #7 04-12-2010, 02:17 AM

James is on Test. And yes, it is more than likely a problem with the browser, as it is usually recommended to play an online game, on a launcher.

As I said in my last post, contacting Disney would be best.

I had that problem when the update was first released my main pirate was trapped on Cuba and every time I tried to load him the game crashed but it was fixed with the next update.

ex8404 · #9 04-12-2010, 03:32 AM

Why not just load the launcher??

You mentioned downloading the launcher countless time and its not helping? Does it not install fully?

I've tried to TP to Cuba while playing on web launcher, was able to do so. Tried to log out and back in to see if i was able to load on Cuba, no problem either. So probably the issue does not come from the web launcher or cuba or your computer, I think it's your pirate. My main pirate before the 7th April reset could not load without getting the boot, even if i loaded, theres an empty inventory. Right now its working fine for me, tho before the recent reset it was only affecting a minority (I only know 2 others that were affected)

Not sure if Contacting Disney might help. I tried last week on the same issue (not loading properly) and realize that they really do not offer much technical support to testers due to the fact that the environment we are in is, a Test server, which is pretty useless on the livechat. so i guess its bug report til they fix it. eg: A RESET :O
