What was the decay feature?

What was the decay feature?

if you didn't play your rank went down

 

[Garrick]

So does PvP work now I suppose if the infamy is properly working?

 

[Hakiri]

my face when i get like 50 material in a couple things close it and find that i only got about 5-7 instead...

Still crashing when sailing. Very frustrating as seems most likely to happen when full of nice loot after burning down some hunters and ships o' the line.

The crashes have to do with the game's memory leak. Something about 2 GB limit.

Alright, I'll keep it simple, since it's been requested by some members I keep my bug posts out of these forums.

Lots of crashes on entering interiors (about 70% of the time)

And, yeah, sailing is still crashing like mad, starting to really get under my skin, because I can't test any of the new fixes, it just crashes after 10 minutes of plundering. I'll just upload this log, looks like it's a new error.

There's nothing wrong with you posting bugs on the forums -- that's encouraged -- but it's more likely they'll be seen by the devs in one of the bug megathreads.

I've heard there is a memory leak with the game audio. Have you tried turning it off? I have it off and I've been able to sail for 2+ hours with no crashes.

I've heard this was the source of the issue, but have yet to attempt it. When I get on later, I will try it, and see if this solves my issue and report back. Had to take a break having lost my ship (again) to a crash with hunters and warships on my tail. Thanks for the update, and I'll see how it works

 

[Hakiri]

anyone else feel like xp rates are like 10X what potco was? or is it just me.

 

[Hakiri]

can i make a suggestion? can we change playtime slots to test time slots so people are less entitled to "playtime" sure its frustrating but this is not a fully released game. when you are playing it is to find bugs note them and report them. even still i tend to enjoy myself more then "test" but still i understand what is happening.
