It works, but it is EXTREMELY lagged. I'm guessing part of the lagg is due to the animated adverts. They always lagg. So maybe in the official version they can get rid of animated adverts and just keep still images.

You're lucky in my opinion.
I can't even get past the Initializing stage!!!!
It keeps sending me a pop-up saying "Sorry! PiratesOnline encountered a problem and needs to shut down!" from my internet broswer.
So is it my computer, or the game?
Any help would be appreciated!

Hmm...
Check to make sure you have the specified requirement (Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintainence > See basic information about your computer. Information you need should appear under' Computer' at the bottom of the pop-up) before playing.

If so, and still doesn't work, try uninstalling it an re-install it. If that doesn't work, just send an error report to them using the feedback page.

But anyway, I've managed to get into options and i'm going to try and put al the graphics low and see if that loses some lagg.

Thanks!
So far, I meet most requirements, but I can't seem to find out about these requirements:

32MB graphics card (64 MB recommended)
DirectX 9 or better

Where can I find info on these? Because under the computer section, it says nothing about them.

I'm glad a few people have the same problems as me. My friend sounds like he is having a fun time in the game, he got in....Hopefully Disney will fix our bug soon guys. :)

Unfortunatly, I wasn't sure about them either, but I'm pretty sure I had a big enough graphic card (My dad is a master at computers and got me this great graphics card) and I'm not sure about DirectX 9+. Try looking around your control panel or going to 'My Computer' and right click disc drive c: (or something like that) and select properties.

If all else fails, ask someone to take a look at your computer. That, or wait until the full version comes out.

Looks like I can't play then...
This is cow spit! :(
Are you sure there are no other ways to get in?

Not sure. You can unistall and re-install, see if that works. I can't really help because mine loads/works straight away, so I haven't experienced this problem. I still have lagg, but it is BETA.

Just keep trying, you might get in eventually.

Mrrrr....

its goes through everything and sends me back to the darn password thingy...im ready destroy my computer. this is the 10th time its done this to me, i tried last night and today and it wont work! i havent created a person either penguin.

im gonna try installing again...>_<

If you log in and it just goes back to the log in page, make sure you are logging in during the BETA opening times, otherwise you can't get in. If that fails, just uninstall and re-install it.

Anyway, can anyone tell me, when in the main open space (not inside a building, it's fine inside places), why it is so lagged? It usually freezes for about two minutes, then moves a little bit, then stops again. I was just wondering if it's as lagged for anyone else, or if it's just my computer.

How do you re-install the game?

I joined VMK after Beta and it seems some problems are more like delta and omega stuff, other letters to mess with my mind. It is there lurking but not comint up, you there, tap tap. Guess not.

I get the MSN thing where it has to shut down the program.

I AM BETA. That is like getting free tickets to the Louvre.
