Thank you!

I'm still having the same problem. I've tested on 2 different Macs with different OS's and video cards and both are crashing on startup.

Wow, guess I'll actually have to work my 8 hours a day this week until they fix this issue.

What is it this week on every word I say actually being taken literally?

Ok, all I'm say is:

- Many in our guild were crashing with the initial update.
- We were all having the same issues (Video was #1, several couldn't sail or TP, some of us couldn't us weapons)
- The v1 update didn't seem to resolve anything
- The v2 update did

Now as for the Mac people out there - I do feel bad for yas It is unfortunate they still have no working issues out there - but I don't have any Mac users in the guild so we couldn't test this... can't test what I don't have.

Yes Altair - I know, I've read your other posts on the healing and how it sucks to be a PvP player and that you were leaving.... you should keep that arguement to that thread please - many of us are not PvP players so health (and getting more of it) wasn't something we were looking at - being able to actually PLAY was the issues we were trying out

Yes I have one pirate mastered - yes its a bummer - yes that one spent way too much on Gold for his Staff and Doll - yes his Health will probably not move... THESE are not bugs! These are ADJUSTMENTS which D made (and unfornately didn't tell us about) - do not confuse the two.

Thats the 'developer' difference... in ITIL terms this would be Change vs. Incident Management - here I was talking about something working yesterday and not working today - Incident - not something was working yeterday - still working today but has been modified - Change.

Mythic - still no luck even after the DX9 game_options.txt change? (or did you change it I should ask? ) I had all these isues you listed with my ATI Radeon card before that change - and after the change I could finally use it (and ditched the internal Intel 945 Chip-whatever)

Running into another issue here.

Quest tracking.

In some cases (noticed this with the "sink ships" tasks especially), that unless you're actively tracking a certain task, even if you perform an action that satisfies that task (sink a Corvette/Marauder/etc), you don't get credit for it in your journal.

Also, I'm getting MIGHTILY sick of the game randomly flipping back to the Windows desktop. It keeps happening at the most inopportune moments, and cost me my ship, a full cargo, and a task completion because it minimized the game right in the middle of a boarding party and by the time the game maximized again, I was in jail.

I can't crew guild members from the list, only when in person.
I know this is a minor issue compared to most, but since I crew most often with my guild it makes it hard now that I cannot go to their ships either unless they are also on the friend list.

I did have a problem where my guild chat wasn't showing most of the messages posted but thankfully they seemed to have fixed that one.

Very annoyed with sailing now, seems like many mid-level ships run away from me, but the light sloops still come after me. Also my broadsides seem to aim at nothing half the time even though I am practically on top of the ship I am trying to shoot.

Lags seem to be longer sometimes - I have had one be 10 min and then next time will work normal. I can't seem to figure out why sometimes and not others, but it has sent me to jail a few times so far.

Being a person that specializes in computer support I had the same initial thought, and the likely the same bit of frustration during and after the process.

Telephone support here is non-existent for the most part (unless your experiencing a billing/account issue).

They will almost always lead you to the online Live Chat support for more detailed technical support. The techs on Live Chat appear to have somewhat scripted responses, and obviously handle more than one at a time. They do not seem to actually interpret your responses but look for key words that will clue them in as to what canned response they send you next. If this process fails to identify the problem/solution they verify you have submitted a bug report and indicate that 2nd level support will have to review it and get back to you.


This has been my experience the 3 times I have looked into getting technical assistance.

On a brightside/note, its resolved the issue each time, and only one of the aforementioned instances did I have to recontact them to basically 'bump' the problem to the surface (it was fixed the very next day).

I've lost most of my "chat" function. Others can see what I type, but I only sometimes, see what they type when in Guild or Crew chat. The "whisper" function seems to have quit altogether and the "plus symbol" went away, that is next to the skeleton. I haven't encountered any other issues with the update.

I have found that, while the game is running, if I shut down "Toontown" from the Task Manager, the game doesn't suddenly crash.

[gamedude309]

for those of u using macs is it a g5 or higher if not it doesnt have a intel processer unless u put one in there if your odesnt have one it will be laggy but u can still play also how old is the mac your using?
