Hey Folks,
Since the last two (3 the last 2 weeks?) patches, I have had lots of trouble navigating aound the map - I keep getting disconnected and thrown into the water BUT starting today I am not able to reboard my ship after re-connecting. I change servers to get back aboard but that usually doesn't work.
Further - Getting out of Velia is a crap-shoot - about half the time I get stuck trying to get my boat started and have to change servers.
HAS anyone figured out a clean way to recover control? Am I fighting an issue that is only on my end?
TIA
If your problem is that your ship won't move, then get off the wheel and then grab it again. That usually fixes the problem. Given the frequency that you're hitting it, I suspect that you have a connection problem of some kind (maybe a high ping?) which is exacerbating the issue, but that sort of thing does happen to pretty much everyone at least occasionally, I think.
If your problem is that you can't grab the wheel because of multiple ships being in the same spot, then use LMB on the ship icon when you're already on the ship in order to actually grab the wheel in spite of the other ships there. They should probably fix it so that you can't even see or interact with other ships in safe zones if they're not owned by someone in your party or platoon, but for now at least, the LMB trick can at least get you to your wheel in spite of the current mess.
If your problem is that you can't even get on your ship even if it's the only one there, then I've never heard of such of problem and have no clue how to fix it.
