HUGE amounts of memory

So is it just bad programming? Why is Pirates such a resource hog? I can run Half Life 2 at full specs with absolutely no problems...but when it comes to pirates, I have to turn the specs down quite a bit...

Part of it is probably my horrible internet connection, but it's pretty pathetic. I'm not alone in this am I?

oh yea...I tried playing tonight, and I just gave up...

I closed basically every program on my computer, including my virus scan and it still lagged horribly...

Wait, basically you will need more megabytes. I just asked a mechanic to add more memory for just 12 bucks.

Yeah, this thing has major memory leaks. I can play other games for 12 hours as a time but POTCO just keeps eating memory and gets really slow with major HD thrashing after a few hours.

Disney probably considers it their "stop playing and get some sunshine" feature!

The game often tells me:

If youve been playing for more than 2 hours! You should stop and take a break!


Perhaps this is Disney speak for, please reboot your system, and the game, before it crashs!

Yup... All of Disney's games are horrible with the memory leaks... Toontown is just as bad. I usually get just about those 2 hours of playing time before I have to restart lol... It's got to be that Panda program, the base of everything. The one that they designed just for their games... Grrr.

Nah, there is a "Panda3D" modelling and programming system that Disney had created just for their games. Evil thing it is, horribly evil thing. ^^

I run this game on an 1800 ghz processor, with 1536 mb of ram, and an agp nvidia 7600 oc gs 512 mb graphics card, and never freeze up, and some days i'm on for 8 hours straight...without relogging.

My specs are about the same, also, I did notice POTCO wasn't fully using both of my Cores in my AMD X2 4400+ CPU, as one of them was staying unused.

Mind you, Assassins creed was using them just fine moments before.
