Pirates of the Carribean Online Game is Opening

[mickeytinkerbellprincess]

I still need to create my character, and like Patti I'll also be using Basic :P

[mickeytinkerbellprincess]

Is it just me, or is Pirates really slow? Every few seconds (it never stops) it freezes for a second, then I can run again for a few seconds, then I freeze again, and again and again. It gets really infuriating after a while, especially tonight when I almost spotted a Seafury but I was too slow to catch up because I was freezing every few seconds. It might be my computer, because Mouse also has Basic but hers runs fine. Mine ran okay during Beta but now it's crazy. Helps!

Mine seems to run alot better after uninstalling the beta version of the game with all of the stuff that they don't use anymore and just re-download the game. On my ship I get no lag at all.

[mickeytinkerbellprincess]

Okay, I will try that Fan. Thanks so much!

They put out a build at midnight on Monday night. It apparently looked like a graphics update, and we ended up losing a lot of people with it. They put out another build last night and the people seem to be able to get back on (cough Nachocat cough!).

Doll, we need to find you in the game. Tell me when you are going to be on. We are in the Patano Ocean most of the time.

[Patricia]

Oh.. I sure hope they fixed the problem I was having seeing the bottom of my screen. I can't play if I can't see the bottom, which is odd, because in beta I could always see it. I suppose it was the advertizing on top that messed me up. Sigh.

I'll have to go check now..

Can you run in half screen mode? That should fix it.

[Patricia]

Nope.. still can't see it. I have reported this and spoke to them in live chat.. they never offered any solution excpet to ask if they could help me with anything else? LOl, I can't even play to need any other help.

[Patricia]

How do I run half screen mode?

how about the bug in my computer that won't let me play at all!!!

I beat GH3 so I have more time to do nothing else with.

[Chescat]

How do I run half screen mode?

Hit Options mode on your character screen. That should bring up the options mode. The 2nd option down I believe shows run half screen or full screen. Run it in half screen and should work. I know in Beta 1, I had same problem and that's what solved my issues.

[varcity]

I don't run full screen. I'll try lowering my graphics

[mickeytinkerbellprincess]

I'm in Patona Ocean and Tortuga. I'm waiting by the wooden boat.. O'Malley is my best friend now. I wait there every night for half an hour but no one comes lol! :P

[wizardmickey]

I finally got back on tonight... My character was gone? I had to start all over again?!?! What what what?!?!?!?

Where are you Ice, figured we'd leave Doll on the boat! We are in Patano Ocean. Let us know where you are.

[mickeytinkerbellprincess]

Ice you should join me and O'Malley. He is the best rocker ever, you'd guys have a great time together

[wizardmickey]

Where am I? I've had to start all the way over again!!! Create a new Pirate as everything I had to this point is kaput! Go thru all of the tasks/quests all over again! Wait for approval of my name again! That's where I am...

[wizardmickey]

AHHHH! And I almost forgot!!! Did I just see Doll say that this O'Malley is the best rocker ever?!?!? EVER?!?!?
When it comes time for me to remember all of the little people...

[wizardmickey]

One last "rant" about the game; Now it has become very difficult to play... lot's of game lag & "stuttering" or "skipping" which has caused me to get my head handed to me over and over again as I freeze up during fights.
Is this the best it's gonna get for the free version? If so, I'm not really happy.
