Sophist Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Greetings, hoping for a bit of feedback. I've recently returned to the game after being away for many years. I ran into a situation in an instance, fighting 1 v 1 with an NPC to complete a mission. I was getting set to board them, came up along side, hit the "G" key to start the boarding process, then I effectively had no controls. The ship was stopped in the water, sails all retracted, whilst my adversary sailed on. I tried various key commends (including G key again), and nothing would work. Could get the ship moving again, no control over the guns, all I was able to do was just scroll in my view ever close to the ship with the mouse wheel. Finally I just existed out of the game. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Edit: I forgot to mention, did notice my ping seemed normal. However it's possible this was simply a server crash/disconnect of some sort as I did not try logging back in right away. Edited July 10, 2020 by Sophist

Unfortunately it is hard to tell anything without a screenshot or F11 report. Perhaps you exprienced a temporary connection problems
Sophist Posted July 11, 2020 Author Posted July 11, 2020 Thanks for the feedback. I think you may be on the right track. I logged back in after making this post, and I was still at the location of the battle, which might suggest a connection issue. If it happens again I'll be to get an F11 report and screenshot.
