Question missing graphic/texture after flagship

Guys always when i return from a flagship i get missing graphics/textures!
Like example when the side of a ship is COMPLETELY destroyed then parts of the fire is missing. Or while sailing you cant see the ship's trial (the water part that appears down on the rear of the ship when sailing). Is this problem a known issue or is my computer messing things up? (remember this only happens when i get back from boarding a flagship!)

I actually have had the same problem for at least two months now... been meaning to post/report it.

In addition to those, I also get the missing shadow on blades, missing cast effects on staff, broadsides will always fire perpendicular to the ship (they don't point towards the ship, they just slide there while staying perpendicular to your ship), and several other graphics bugs. I'm getting this running Windows 7. It's not your computer, but it could be a problem with the game vs. certain graphics cards.

Next time I get this bug I'll post some screens here and report them.

Have you always had this issue? When did it start?

Have you tried changing the graphics options in the game (open gl/direct x)? Are you running the latest drivers for your video card? Also try turning down the graphics to medium or low in the game options menu.

I tried changing EVER THING (changing API, changing to low and medium and deleting the cache)! I dont know when it started to happen (i think i had the problem since the beginning).
Yes the video card is up-to-date.

Hmmmm... It could be something else running causing the issue. It could also be a resource issue. You can try iobit game booster (web search for download link). It unloads/closes all unnecessary background programs and services. You would run this prior to opening POTC Online. One click after playing restores everything so a reboot is not required. I use this on my laptop and it clears out a nice chunk of memory.

Keep in mind, use of any software recommended here is at your own risk.

Sorry this is not my computer and i dont have permission to install things. But on its web site it said that its designed to make the games run FASTER not to fix missing graphics or such.

C'mon are there really no other ways of fixing this? Flagship are the best way to get royal chest for my ship
