Getting booted often is more of a recent problem in the last 2 or so updates and is because Disney has installed a lot of spyware type software in the launcher.exe application to start POTC.

The easiest way around this is very very simple and it also speeds up and protects against lag issues in privateering.

Once you log in follow these instructions to the letter. pick your pirate and actually get into the game do not do this from the log screen.

Once in the game and on land press Control/Alt/Delete this brings up windows task manager (XP) click tab titled processes then click user name tab so that all the user processes are at the top find the process (Launcher.exe) right click select the top one END process and it will shut down the launcher.exe from Disney this will have zero impact in the game as it is only needed to start the game.

Disney uses the launcher program which runs in the background to root through your logs and files and it slows your PC to a crawl causing boot and lag issues.

there are literally dozens of ways to correct lag problems but those are TRADE secrets but this recent booting issue by Disney is down right malicious in nature. It may also be the way Disney employees can use admin codes and boot or freeze players during privateering for personal gain.

Once you are in the game the launcher program is no longer needed and it's continual use taking up processing power and RAM can only mean problems in instances like privateering when lots of players in one spot and you need every ounce of speed and advantage.

when you stop the launcher.exe process do not click the end process tree as you will also shut down the POTC program as well.

if you try this and find it useful respond to the thread to let others know it works and simply to not take MY WORD on the issue.
