Release Notes - February 6, 2009

• Fixed the application icon not showing up when playing on a Windows machine in windowed mode
• Fixed an exploit where a Pirate could become invincible on Kingshead

----------

Just tested Wildwoods - that one still works exactly the same. :-(
Likewise the main Kingshead ones I knew of. I wonder what they thought they fixed?

[Chris]

Have they fixed that SVS bug yet? If not they should focus on that 1st.

Well, I've seen more updates in the past couple of weeks than over the past couple of months. I suppose that could be good and bad. New content being the good....and bugs being the bad. I have a good feeling about POTC Online for 2009.....we shall see.

[Edward Edgemenace]

Thanks for merging - thought the announcements were supposed to be separate from testing comments, though.

Haven't been able to test the poker invincibility yet (not enough cheat cards on test) but the other 4 major invincibility glitches still work. Haven't looked at SvS, as that was unrelated to invincibility (except that the same people generally abuse them both at the same time.)

I didn't get a download, so can't see how anything could of been fixed. Also assuming the application icon, might be the graphic option button, which still isn't fixed.

Server just went down for maintenance, so maybe its getting updated now.

[Edward Edgemenace]

Ahhhh, OK. Getting the update just now...OK - the main exploits seem to be patched. No more guards running the gallows pattern by default...yet. SvS testing later.

Yea - thats why I put the line in... I figured that would note the update

[Edward Edgemenace]

Not sure if this is a new glitch just introduced, but doing Alt-spacebar to activate the windows menu, then Alt to release it, starts an auto-jump (a la PvP jumpers.) Doesn't go away until you hit spacebar again. Don't know if this functions in full-screen mode (probably not.)

Noticed the new friends limit is 99 friends (was 49.)

[Poison elf]

I started up a new character and went through a bunch of levels to take a look at quests etc. Old bugs still around, like having to log to get the crate quest in PR.

Three new, or newer things I noticed though, Thieves den has some sorta of glitch, and watched the character die, taking no hits, or even acid on him after killing the eitc behind the door.
A Lot of Padres not tracking creatures in compass, El Sudron, and back Beach.
Pistol is getting a bug and at times really bad, quits firing and won't restock ammo, until you hit ammo type again.
I really hate the heirloom quest, after something like 30 ships and not the right marauder still.

Ed most jumpers i know dont use that, besides it goes away when you use Blade storm

[Edward Edgemenace]

Right - I was only comparing it to that style of continuous jump. It was very annoying when it wouldn't go away.

A lot of things are happing lately. My friend and others around could not see me in Padres Del Fuego for some reason and I was able to see them. Also, at time, when I launch my ship, I cant see the cannons. The Navy guards seing at a certain distance, they have black long-sleves uniforms.
Hope this would be fixed soon.

[Poison elf]

Definitely some weird things going on all day.

Attachment 1375

Not exactly what I was thinking of as custom cannon.

Attachment 1376

Even my doll got confused at times.

Had several other pic's, but they didn't save, first time I have had that happen. A few interesting ones, showing players through Fort Charles walls as enemies.

Did get a blue shirt drop though off a Giant Crab, first time I actually saw the drop. These should have bright green letters also as NEW ITEM.

[Aliese]

The cannon thing's been happening a lot...


As for the screenshots, they've been overwriting each other if you take them, it seems, in the same minute without moving (going through a tunnel, TPing, etc).

[Poison elf]

So far I can't say I like much on this last build, half the day getting a lot of cuts and a few game crashes, worse than ever before for me.

Anyone have a clue what icon on windows mode was fixed?
I know for a fact the continue button on graphics option wasn't it?

See a few creatures missing, were spawning now nothing.

Grenade quest got some make over, maybe already on live, haven't done that for a long time.

3 things I noticed.
Very easy run to get crates now in Kings.
There is enough at PR for last part now.
Surprisingly, took a Spanish ship to Padres to deliver grenades and it worked for that.
