Wow, seems like a deprovement, it's probably the slowest game of the year unless you have a good computer. I'll be getting a good computer from alienware and it should run perfectly with pirates online, no mater, it will still crash with game errors, but it will stop lag for the most part, and the processor can deal with up to 4 Terrabytes, so I see it will have no issues.

I think the new release is more likely to default shaders on. Those of you who are having more lag issues after the release than you had before it, probably didn't have shaders turned on before, and maybe didn't realize it. Be sure you turn them off now in the Game Options panel. All it does is change the look of the water anyway; and even though the ocean looks good with the shaders, if it makes you laggy it's not worth it.

Thanks ED, I was using small font so the "V" looked like an "U" lol.


Has anyone noticed that after this new upgrade, the game takes longer to launch and also lots of disconnects, and the chat window all you see is "garr, yarrr, arrr".
I know why, but it's annoying.

It seems to take longer to launch at first, but then seems to be much faster with all the other processes. Have not had any disconnect issues, on open or test. I like the new chat somewhat, id rather be able to type what I want, and it censor what it thinks it should from those it thinks it should, than to make me try three times to type it. Downside is the numbers issues, of course numbers were still hard even before, and I dont believe they are screened for open chatters.

Other than the limit of characters, I liked this type of chat over on the Toontown game. And they fixed the character limit on POTCO. I think most the chat changes are definately positive ones. Although can be annoying, when your used to just not seeing stuff at all, and now your seeing "garr, yarrr, arrrr" etc as you mentioned.
