Can't get back into it.

I loved the original POTCO for the naval combat with friends and just general fun it offered. Naval combat with the current ship pop-in is unenjoyable, render distance just kills it. I remember glancing massive distances in POTCO to choose targets to fight and make way towards them; I can't even see a target halfway from Tortuga to Port Royal from either side. Is there some way to increase render distance or?
 
I'm fairly certain TLOPO is going to leave render distance as-is. I would like to see such an implementation, though.

The problem may be with current ship spawns. Something the community has been bringing up for a little bit, certainly something the developers are working on.

Unless your graphics literally just aren't rendering? Though I'm not 100% sure how to fix render distance.

I would hedge my bets on it being due to ship spawns. I can't find ships anywhere either.

Definitely graphics, the ships stay loaded server side as much as I can tell. I'll waddle away from them they disappear at a very short distance and pop back in if I go back towards them.

Interesting. Something to definitely forward to developers then. I don't sail much so thanks for chiming in :D
 
Sailing Is No where near the Potco days , It has a long ways to go before returning to somewhat Normal status ! Be nice if at some point the XP would be closer to those good old days !

I don't think it's a problem with render distance. It looks more like nothing is rendering in the first place. Render distance is fine I believe.
Just get things to render properly.
