It's proabably your Grahpics Card.

It happened to me on my old computer(During beta)
But now I use my laptop and it doesn't even lag

I had the same problem on a work PC. I turned the graphics settings down, and it mostly cleared up. I'd attributed it to crappy computers at work, but maybe I was wrong!

Nothing like 5 hours of overtime pay to play pirates...

you graphics card is not drawing the entire scene. update your driver or get a new card. if you have a mac...get a pc macs are terrible for gaming and everything else. maybe the fan on your card is bad and the cpu is actually doing the graphics processing because the graphics card is getting too hot, thats also a possibility.

chek your drivers first though.

Not getting into the whole mac vs pc thing (but as a graphic designer/desktop publisher macs are a fact of life). Plus the operating systems are looking so much alike that in a few years there won't be any difference.

It's not an inherently Mac problem. I play on a mac mini. It keeps crashing on my Vista system and I can't be bothered to download the 3 or 4 windows patches to fix it.

I will say you need an intel mac. I tried playing on my laptop (a G4 iBook) and had to turn the graphics way down and it still lagged horribly.

It looks like more of a configuration/software problem rather than hardware. It also looked like you had your web browser open in the background. If it is a memory issue, you might want to close everything but pirates. Also check to make sure your game resolution is the same as your system resolution.

I personally like it. Next, it will be blazing hot!

LOL yea everything is covered in lava and burning O_o

yes, it is cool, it IS snowing, isnt it? :laughks2::laughks2::laughks2: yeah. probably.

This happened to me too on OS 10.5.2 Mac Mini 1.83Ghz. But it seems to be fixed now, after the update.

Odd that the update fixed your problem whereas I have been unable to play at all (due to immediate crashing after logging in) since the update on a Dual 2.3 GHz G5 with OS 10.5.2 and was having no trouble at all before.
