Black Screen? - Pirates of the Caribbean Online Fansite & Forums

Whenever I hit the button to enter a building such as the mansion my screen goes black and remains that way until i close and restart the game. Anyone else getting this or know how to fix it?

I get the same thing, ever since the ads were added to the top of the screen.

I'm thinking maybe uninstalling and reinstalling it? Has anyone tried that?

Me too. Mine started a few days after the first pressure test. I didn't notice that it was timed with them adding the ads to the top of the screen though.

I've reinstalled about three times, and yet I still can't even create a character.

You can try, but can't guarentee that it will work. We may just have to wait for them to update again.

I was having that problem, it was related to the character. I had to delete and start over.

Is there some way of getting out of the black screen without completly rebooting? I'm afraid all the rebooting isn't good for my system.

you don't have to reboot, just press the X in the upper right corner to shutdown pirates and relaunch it.

Also, hitting F12 seems to work for me. I have to characters and they're both stuck tryiny to get a new quest because I cant enter the buildings (2 different buildings) without the screen going black.

On another note, has anyone gotten a responce to any submitted bug reports? I've submitted about 20 bugs, but haven't received an ackowledgement yet.

I've gotten generic responses to bug reports, and that's all anyone will get, if that. Beta testing is about what the testers can do for the developers, not vise versa.

searage · #14 04-25-2007, 02:59 PM

i've probably put in 50 bug reports, never got anything more than the automated responses! not that i expected too..

Grandpa · #15 04-25-2007, 03:23 PM

Well, at least a canned responce indicates they are at least receiveng the bug reports.
