Hi there,
So I've seen a lot of people posting with the same 3-5 bugs so I thought of trying to find workarounds while I play the game.
So before I get started I would like to say this:
*DO NOT POST NEW BUGS ON THIS THREAD* This is for any WORKAROUNDS that you find, not new bugs. If you find a workaround for a bug that you repeat multiple times to ensure it's a good workaround, please post and I'll edit my thread and credit you. So let's get started:
Quest Bugs (Weapon Unlocks/Tutorial etc):
Barbossa Cutscene Crash:
If you need to defeat general enemies, it will NOT work, if this is the case, defeat the bosses and it will count. Specific type enemies (Example: Defeat 10 French Lieutenants) will work.
Digging Quests not working properly:
Weapon Unlock/Upgrade Quests not showing:
"Brights" appearing white:
Falling through deck of ship:
Getting stuck on a black screen (Potions Table):
Any account related problems:
Also note that many issues will be fixed after updates so I may get rid of some workarounds/edit my post to reflect those bug fixes. That's all I have for now and again please remember to not post bugs here, only workarounds and I'll give you credit if they work.
Thanks for reading my wall of text,
Stephen Teague

Quest Bugs (Weapon Unlocks/Tutorial etc):
Barbossa Cutscene Crash:
- To avoid this crash, buy the Flintlock pistol (it's free) from any gunsmith before you do the cutscene again. Once you have bought the pistol, head over to Devil's Anvil again and the cutscene will work. **Be sure your F2 slot is empty.**
- Make a new pirate and do the entire tutorial and your issue will be resolved. Skipping the Tutorial seems to break your pirate in terms of the Storyline Quest
If you need to defeat general enemies, it will NOT work, if this is the case, defeat the bosses and it will count. Specific type enemies (Example: Defeat 10 French Lieutenants) will work.
- For French: Kill the French Undead boss (Jacques le Blanc) OR French Undead Captaines,
- For Spanish: Defeat the Spanish Undead boss (Tomas Blanco)
Digging Quests not working properly:
- This is due to you having multiple digging quests in your Journal at one time. You need to find which of them works and do that one (one will ALWAYS work, so if you have 3, 1 will work) and turn it in and then try the next one until you eliminate them down to the last one, which will then work. For a more detailed description please open the spoiler below:
Ok, try to alternate with them. What I mean is try all of them and see which works. I've found that if you have multiple digging quests, they glitch each other but one ALWAYS works. So let's say you have 3 digging quests (Quest A, Quest B and Quest C) Quest A and C might not work but Quest B will. So what you need to do is to try them all and see which works, once you find which one works, do that one, complete it and turn it in. THEN, try another digging quest and see if it works. Basically it's a process of elimination until you get down to the final digging quest. Hopefully that wasn't confusing.

Weapon Unlock/Upgrade Quests not showing:
- Level up any weapon, it should appear once you have done this. (Added 9/26/17 -- Credit @Johnny Sea Slasher )
"Brights" appearing white:
- Just wait around 10 seconds and your brights will become the proper color. To everyone else, it appears the normal color but to you it is white until the color "loads in". I was aware of this one but forgot to post it... workaround also reported by @Sam Whalebones: https://piratesforums.co/threads/brights.19737/#post-274882 (Added 6/14/17)
Falling through deck of ship:
- A few relogs ought to resolve this issue.
- No resolution to this, just have to be patient on crash fixes
- Simply hit ESC and then pull out your sword and this issue will be resolved. (Added 6/5/17)
- Go to your inventory and equip/dequip an article of clothing and your camera and running motion will be fixed. (here is a link to a GIF to show it: https://gyazo.com/2474d4d3d58cd3fba914c2711c15ce24)
- Try backing into the island and it will most likely work. (Credit to @Meg Gunsmythe )
Getting stuck on a black screen (Potions Table):
- This is due to a glitch with hitting the Escape (ESC) button. If you hit escape, you will be stuck on the table and upon hitting the actual exit button, you will get stuck on a black screen. To fix this, simply teleport to another Port of Call (Port Royal, Tortuga, Padres Del Fuego or Cuba) in order to fix. Credit to @Sailor George (workaround added October 30th).
Any account related problems:
- Email support@tlopo.com who can help you with issues of that nature.
Also note that many issues will be fixed after updates so I may get rid of some workarounds/edit my post to reflect those bug fixes. That's all I have for now and again please remember to not post bugs here, only workarounds and I'll give you credit if they work.
