No wonder you remind me of you... LOL, hey! We gotta meet up on Pirates some time!

Back on topic - CaptainCamona, dd you try editing from default to pandadx8? Did you remember a space after "version"? Just wondering

[thebeez]

OMG, I'm in!!! I did not have either of the files in my game folder, so I made them both by copying the info above and changed default to pandadx8 like it said. On my first try logging in I did not get in though, I went back and checked to make sure everything copied and pasted correctly but I saw that under "state" it said "attempt" (just like in the first post in this thread. So I changed that to "working" in both the game_options and last_game_option files. Then started the game again and got in...for the first time in over 3 weeks.

OMG - You are a genius! You are all geniuses!! So, I made the file and saved it as game_options - went back and changed attempt to working AND for the first time since 18 May I am on!!!! I"m so excited!! thank you, thank you!! Good luck all others!

I had no problems finding this file on my machine which is Windows XP Professional, some people may keep their files hidden and therefore cannot see all files. Try the following for Windows XP Professional users:

(1) Click on Start|All Programs|Accessories|Windows Explorer
(2) Click on Tools|Options
(3) Click on View tab
(4) Under the Advanced Settings:
(4A) Check the "Show Hidden Files and Folders" radio button
(4B) Uncheck the "Hide Extensions For Known File Types" check box
(4C) Uncheck the "Hide Protected Operating System Files (Recommended)" check box
(5) Click on Apply button
(6) Click on Ok button

NOTE: After performing the above please make sure you set these radio buttons and check boxes back to their defaults....

You may also be able to attempt the following:

(1) Click on Start|Run
(2) Copy and Paste the following:
"C:\Program Files\Disney\Disney Online\PiratesOnline\game_options.txt"
(3) Click on Ok button

NOTE: Providing you installed your pirates online in the default directory this should work...

Hopefully, this helps someone find the file...

Maybe try the "search" function and you can find the folder that way.

What is this "Default Directory" Everyone is talking about and where can I find it?

The "default directory" is the folder the game would have made when you installed it. UNLESS you told your computer to put is somewhere else.

since you are unsure of what it is I am going to assume that your game is installed in a default directory and not somewhere esle

so to find it click on

my computer

C:\ (your hard drive)

find the file that says
Program Files

once there find the file that says
Disney

Inside of that folder should be
Disney Online

click that to find the
PiratesOnline

all of your game files should be in this file



you can also use your computer search function to find the PiratesOnline folder

Um, I found it and changed it. It was actually under a "game_options", no .txt. I will see if it does anything though.

Well dont forget to view every thing krickit metioned.

U may need both game_options and last_working_options files.

You may need to change from 'default' to 'pandadx8' aswell aswell put 'working' in.

And if stil not ok, u may need to update graphics drivers and make sure u got directx 9c and that it is working properly.

Good luck. Hope you have same good results as everybody else.

if your file extentions are hidden (which is the default setting) you will not see .txt on the end ...just the file name

but that was the file you should have been looking for.



P.S. I told you I would lunk in, and check on everyone LOL

After the May 22nd update I COULD NOT get on
I was convinced it was THEIR fault
I tried a complete system restore 2x and updated my drivers, to no avail
after MUCH reading about my graphics card(nvidia) Overheating seemed to be the biggest problem
I took my PC apart and cleaned EVERY nook and cranny(you'd be AMAZED at the dust it accumulates) I vacuum it out every month or so. But removing the fans and cleaning the fins behind them WORKED!!!!(and my PC runs so quiet now)
I now play with no crashes and minimal lag! WOOHOO!
I suggest anyone having graphics card issues try this first, It really seems to be an issue
Hope this helps!

PS
~ remedies can be bought (among other places-medicine men)behind small dock on Port Royal- a dude named Thomas Stareaston-standing outside the house with the fence and haystacks
~You can equip them on the F4 button-helps when fighting much stronger enemies
~On Padres Del Fuego-Double Flintlock pistol can be purchased(2 shots before reloading!!) from the townsperson standing near the well
~also Bane and venom ammo can be puchased from townsperson outside bar(on Padres Del Fuego)
One last thing...IMHO stumps and fly traps are the BEST and safest way(just don't get too close) to build pistol~find them in caves

Aye, that be a usual solution, that most ppl ignore. lol
