Still showing online after crashing?? - Pirates of the Caribbean Online Fansite & Forums

Yanicsgirl · #1 02-01-2008, 10:15 PM

I got the message "your internet connection has been unexpectedly broken" so I quit the game and logged back on. I was sailing at the time. When I got to the login screen, the character I was playing before showed as "already online" and I can't get back into the game with her. I've tried logging out and back in, and disconnecting from the internet altogether, but to no avail. Having someone else teleport to the character to get the ship back to port doesn't work either, they can't join the character. Does anyone have a clue how I can fix this? TIA!

this is a known issue i believe the way to fix it is to disconnect u connection to the internet (resstart u computer)

I'm having the same exact problem right now. The connection to the server was interrupted (I do believe it was something on their end) hours and hours ago, and it still says my pirate is already online. I sent a bug report and talked to live chat support, and they sent my info to the techs. I've tried restarting, creating a new pirate, and friends of mine have tried to message me and find my pirate, all to no avail. I do believe we're stuck waiting until the next time they perform maintenance, and kick everyone off in the process.

You believe correctly, matey.

This happened to my second pirate a couple weeks ago. He spent two days being "Already Online" before PotCO did their maintenance. Fortunately, I had another pirate to play; but, still, it was very frustrating.

well sumtimes it will be stuck until they reset the server it happened to me a month ago and u wont be able to log on at all

Thanks for the replies, guys. It looks like I'm stuck alright. Oh well, it gives me a chance to do the whole low level thing again... Hopefully the next maintenance will get me my pirate back. Thanks again!

I once had a problem similar to this. I crashed then I couldn't get back on my ship. I clicked board but it wouldn't board. I couldn't sell it OR repair it. I had to start a new character.

Just send a message to PotCO or restart your computer. Fixes it every time.

Grr, I am still stuck and it's driving me crazy. I want to play! You would think that they could easily knock a pirate off the server so you can continue playing. Jeeze.

Restarting your computer does absolutely no good if your pirate is trapped in the game due to a server malfunction. The problem lies with PotCO, not with your system.

I thought the exact same thing, sam42. My pirate was gone over a weekend, too, and all Live Chat could tell me was that the issue would be patched at some future date. Come Monday morning, however, he was back and rarin' to go blast something.

hmm interesting so you cant get on till the reset the servers thats odd

I keep getting that "your internet connection has been unexpectedly broken" message everytime I try to drop anchor at any island or if I am about to be transported to jail. Tech support hasn't had any answer for it. Makes it impossible to get to any island I don't have a totem for unless a friend is there already. and if I am on somebody elses ship and get booted it locks their ship up until I reboot and finally connect again.

I don't have that bug at all, I don't have that many bugs atm, but my bugs drive me crazy lol.
