I did that:
I also verified all local files
I uninstalled the game and re-installed..
It still does not work correctly at all.

@Ink,
I'm not sure if I'm facing a chat ban situation or not... But i can't see any of the regular chat channels such as Nation, Global, not even the Help channel. I can't add them and my friends list is also not loading. I also can't talk in battle chat and the regular tavern section loads into the battle instance Talking on Teamspeak to other people, I can log in and they visually see me in game, but they can't send messages or invite me to groups. I also cant send in-game mails or receive them.
I'd greatly appreciate any help you could provide so i can talk to people and group up again. (not that there is anything critical said in nation chat, by the way)
Please see the attached screenshot showing the empty tavern.

Well, the Wasas came to attack us at Trux, and instead got themselves sunk.
Great fight by both, it went right down to the last 10 min or so.

Sir,
My ping is a stable 112 -120 max and FPS 60-90. I don't normally have connection issues from the East Coast of the US.
I have cable internet and 100 Mbs speed. This was the first time I've seen an issue like this and figured it was just a UI glitch.
-
To whom it may concern,
I think i found a glitch with the warehouse stacking ability. I had a sealed bottle in the warehouse and after sailing back from KPR, I had a second in my hold. When i went to stack them in the warehouse, it instead deleted them. I did an F11 report and was able to get them back in my hold, properly stacked.
Just wanted to let you know of the potential glitch, if you've already fixed it for the testbed with the new UI, cool.
Have fun sailing captains! o7

Dear Mr. Elite Delta. First of all and as leader of the SH clan I want to thank you on my own and in the
all our clan, their kindness to make known their opinion regarding our humble but proud clan in battle.For us it has been a great pleasure and an honor to fight against what may be the most respected and powerful British clan
of the game. It is also clear that he is also the most gentleman as has been revealed in
their intentions regarding the port in question.Therefore our clan officially commits to:
- Do not re-take CAMPECHE and leave it as neutral to serve as a symbol and example of what should be this game for all factions
- Continue to fight without respite or rest against the "perfidious albion" and cross arms against his clan whenever circumstances warrant it.
In the light of the above, will relentlessly attack any clan that dares to take CAMPECHE whatever the faction may be.
My warmest greetings
PRIAMOP.S: Please forgive my poor English.
You sir, are worthy of great respect for your actions.
Do not worry about your English, you speak it well and are fluent in the more important languages of Honor, Integrity and Courage.
I salute you sir.... <0

Well, they jumped in on the Swedish side, so I considered them Swedes, My apologies for the mistake.

Gentlemen,
Yesterday evening, Myself and John Keats were sailing to the defense of George Town. We encountered a light squadron of Swedish warships. I had an NPC Trincomalee I was transporting up to port to give to a clan member along with my Indefatigable. John was in his Aggamemnon. The Swedish ships initially ignored us and went after and sank the Trinc. That allowed us to get into range of the fort defenses of Little Cayman. After they chased us into range of the fort and suffering some damage, the Swedish turned away and left the battle....
Except these four...
The four captains you see in the screenshot below, were honorable gentlemen. After we tagged their ships and challenged them to a fight, they fought their ships well until their sinking.... All of these captains refused to surrender their ships and fought them to the death..
At the end of the battle, we (British Captains), had under 200 crew per ship, so my hat is off to these fine captains for a courageous and valiant effort.
Salute! <0

I am not aware that the rules on lighting a fire ship have changed .... and that friendly fire to light a fireship is allowable as long as the fireship captain agrees with the action
maybe @admin can clarify and confirm
Admins say in this thread that ships can shoot at each other to light them up as fireships so long as both sides consent to it. They further go on to say that the brits could have used bigger ships and it wouldn't have been an issue.. Which is why they fixed the basic cutters to not go boom....

So basically you are saying that we have less numbers and you have more players, and with current mechanics we are hello kittyed. Yes we are, until the devs realize this we are.
It's easy. You can screen us until tomorrow and we would not reach the port. And that's why we (or other small factions) can't attack big factions like GB. Never ever.
This game needs urgent review of conquest mechanics.
Or instead of trying to get the devs to review the conquest mechanics, you work on actively recruiting players away from other nations to yours?
What about getting new players to join your nation? or hiring pirates (Pagan Pete comes to mind as someone who could steer some pirates your way)?
Work on increasing the player base, which will help us all out in the future. I know that's what I do, and it seems to be working since the british nation is getting bigger....

Just now, Celtiberofrog said:
Please, I may not be precise enough, sorry for that.
What is blameworthy is to purposely friendly fire at your costless basic cutters among much larger ships, (with overpowered explosions) not the fact of using basic cutter itself.
And I'm saying, let bygones be bygones, and let us strive to have honorable combat in the future. Are you with me on this?

Just now, Celtiberofrog said:
Grundge, did we ever use the "friendly explosion with costless basic cutters" tactic ? nope. As a matter of fact, Dev's corrected that bug since explosions were far too devastating upon larger ships. So this was a desparate action, but are players rightfull to use a bug to get away from a tactical inferiority ? i say no and it was nasty gameplay. you could confess it.
Celtiberofrog,
The Spanish used basic cutters to counter hostile fleets previously, which has been posted in screenshots by those who were present when it happened. So, at the time of the hostilities at Omoa, the British players used a tactic they remembered the Spanish had previously used. As you said yourself, this has been addressed and fixed by the devs, so no need to try and beat this dead horse anymore. Its dead....
BLUF: if you considered the British using basic cutters as nasty gameplay, then you (Spanish Nation) are guilty of it as well.
Let us delcare that henceforward, we will fight in honorable ways as officers and gentlemen (and Gentlewomen) of our respective nations and strive to make this a fun world to fight in. Are you with me?

So you want, we a tiny nation without players which is fighting a nation with 5 times the players we have, we need to attack with frigates having 1st rates, for being swarmed with 70 guys like last time we attacked with frigates during 4 hours of fight... and that should be condemned i see, very logic, and even better say that you don't have ships arguing about why you use fireships with basic cutters and then throw a swarm at georgetown everyone with ships? Interesting.
Was it wrong to use basic cutters since they were free ships? Absolutely!! No arguments from me there mate!! Was it wrong for the developers to reset the port battles for a day earlier than they should have been? Yes!! We should have been fighting at 1700 today instead of yesterday night!
What I am saying is that you should be aware of your limitations, recognize them, and plan accordingly. If I know that I have superior firepower to my enemy, I will decide to use hit & run / guerilla tactics to try and keep them from accomplishing their objective. If you know that the enemy is going to use those tactics because you have such superior firepower, you have to be willing to accept it and plan to counter those tactics. If you don't have the assets to do so, do you actually go ahead and pull the trigger? Those are the decisions that had to be made before you guys started this fight, and you need to be willing to accept the consequences of it now.
Its like one school wanting to play 11 man football with their neighbors, but only having 11 players, while the other side has 22. If you complain about having to keep your players on the field the entire game, then should you have really started playing 11 man football to begin with? Maybe you should have played in a 7-man team league instead? In this case, you shouldn't be complaining about being swarmed with 70 guys if you knew beforehand that it was going to happen.

Ok I got it now, but posting here or in other topics, is not really the term to "approach" the Dev's.
My apology for misunderstanding your wording.

No worries,

No one want's to play if we have a bug in front every step we try to do, as you can understand (or not).
I'm confused here Chakal16.
I understand your upset about British players using Basic Cutters as fireships attacking your L'Oceans... However, on the flip side, using L'Oceans to grind hostility and a Port Battle when we don't have equal ships to fight those is also something that should be condemned.
When it comes to the port battles yesterday, I've already said that it wasn't very fair to you (the Spanish nation). However, the decisions to set the port battles to the times they were, was by the devs, which is outside our control.
So just go with the flow, have some fun! If you aren't going to play because you feel you are being discriminated against, then leave! But know that not even the developers can foresee each and every bug, glitch, and issue. That's why we play!

A small summary to refresh minds and explain the current bitterness:
PLVS-VLTRA's made tremendous efforts of organization since the begining of the wipe with peeps spending hundreds of hours to create wealth & ships.
It's true that Spain started with the huge territory we know, even if many regions were given away to Danes, Dutch and Brits, our ownership was and still is great.
It's true that Brits did start with fewer territories, but they did not organize and utilize the "mutual friendly flips" soon enough. Till yesturday, Brits did not own a 3CM port, while Spain is stocking large amount of CM.
Then started a large Propaganda from Brits claiming that the game is unbalanced, Brits did not have a chance to catch up with the Spanish large fleets.
At this stage, things became very nasty, the hostility of Omoa was purposely spoiled by hords of Brits friendly explosion basic cutters into our 1rst rate ships... Spain put it to tribunal as "unacceptable gameplay", Dev's rejected our claims despite it was clearly durty gameplay.
PLVS-VLTRA got very upset about it, hence over-reaction of "Total war" declaration.
Then came this major bug...somehow a ridiculous bug that suddenly occured while Brits were grinding hostility on 2 strategical Regions. At that stage some PLVS-VLTRA players got totaly disgusted seeing that Dev's kept the 2 PB's in a clear disadvantage for Spain.
Now, Clarion call just mentioned above "...Because of the bug, the devs were approached and the timers were reset for the port battles...." !!! PLVS-VLTRA have never had the priviledge to approach Dev's, it seems that some Brits players have this chance.
Somehow, from an objective point of view, Brits could deserve a larger Conquest Marks revenue to fasten its economical progress, (could be the Dev's point of view), but the way all this happened is bitterly unfair for the Spanish players who made great efforts for weeks to control regions (as per the new rules & mechanics).
EU server's Spanish faction is presently in a "burn out" state, many players have decided to throw the towel after Dev's saturday decision.
Let's hope our players community will always try to put themself in shooes of others, to keep away from eccessive role playing that destroys any possible rational & fairness understanding. This is totaly necessary for the EU server health.
Let's also hope, that our "Gods" the Dev's (that made this NA world) will keep their optimisation without destroying groups of tester/players motivation.
Cheers
Celtiberofrog,
To clarify my statement, since you have taken it partially out of context, it was SPAIN that complained to the devs if you look in the other threads here in the forums. It was SPAINISH players that requested the port battle timers be reset by the devs.... and you posted in another thread that the developers said "this is a bug and will be addressed." Further, you intimated in another thread that there might be a "technical" solution to the issue.
So, using logic, I deduced that the devs had been approached by SPAIN and decided to honor their requests to reset the port battle timers.
The only thing I was saying is that there was no "illegality" to the capture of the port battle, that's all.

Im confused. Did the spanish now cancel their total war?
They didn't, but Celtiberofrog was here yesterday asking for us to negotiate the two port battles that were scheduled for yesterday.

Devs must pay back to spanish nation all consequences of this bug... They did anything to solve at time...And they have put a bug in exploiter hands.
Devs, do you think english nation will return Cartagena ??? A port won from illegality.
We wasted our time in "this game".
Thanks Frog for your work,
.
Look mate, I said it earlier in this thread that the British had strategically planned for both ports to go off at the same time. Now, what happened was that the time period to flip was breached by about an hour to two hours and the ports flipped when they weren't supposed to. The Spanish strategy was to drop a war bomb on one of the ports just prior to the 1700 timeframe so the battle couldn't be started, thereby giving you only one port to defend.
Because of the bug, the devs were approached and the timers were reset for the port battles.... to 2200 server time the same day. Having talked with others in all nations, was this fair to the Spanish? NO, it was not.. Why? Because technically, both battles should have been extended to 1700 today, like previous battles have been. But that didn't happen.
So the Spanish approached the British, we had some serious discussions, and we made the agreement. All sides honored it. As for your comment that Cartagena was won from "illegality" we (the British Nation) could have put up fleets to attempt to take both ports and possibly succeeded, and under the game mechanics we would have been within our rights because the devs "addressed" the bug complaints and decided to put the port battle at 2200 themselves. So there is no "illegality" here. There are no requirements for the devs to "pay back the Spanish Nation all consequences of this bug." So please be mindful of the situation surrounding individual actions prior to spouting some nonsense, cheers.

Sure Clarion,
But here is a ponctual issue related to 2 PB's due to a BUG.
Let's talk somewhere else about war issues afterwards.
Celtiberofrog,
What I'm saying is that regardless of the time these battles are happening due to a "bug", strategically, they were planned to happen simultaneously. Now, with that being said, it doesn't matter whether we are fighting the battles at 2200 or 1700 server time. You still face the strategic decision of which ports your going to defend and instead are requesting that we "negotiate" how the battles are going to be handled because you would potentially lose a port that would give the British Nation 75 conquest marks a day and don't have the assets in place to defend all of your ports successfully.
Which is why I say they are related to the war issues and when I see people posting saying "hey, lets be fair here and see how we both can win.." Sorry, but there are winners and losers.

Thx for those comments, but we are here talking about a bug with uncontroled consequencies, nothing related with the Total War.
We may expect, let say "a technical solution" from a group of players to preserve fairness in front of the provisional broken mechanic
What? Your going to try and get the Devs to re-set the battles? If they rest to tomorrow sometime, fine, I'm ok with that.
But when it comes to the total war mate, EVERYTHING is related to it... You started it, we planned for it, and now we are gonna finish it...

Sailors & captains from British Faction,
We must here decide what type of compromise Brits & Spanish could agree to
These 2 PB's are an ERROR as per normal mechanics of our Server, hence Dev's stated :
"...Captains, this is a bug, will be fixed as soon as possible..."
So, for the sake of our server health & mood, we would appreciate some suggestiosn to sort out fairly this "accident".
Both PB's can be faugth with following possible issues:
==> Salamanca could give new 1CM per players to Spanish (if it is won by defenders)
==> Cartagena could give new 3CM per players to Brits (if it is won by attackers)
Thank you for your here below possible proposals
Why should we "Negotiate" with you? I kept reading somewhere that you lot were going to "wipe us off the Caribbean" or something to that effect?
So when the going gets tough and you start to see the might of the British Nation, you say "Hey chaps, maybe we could come to an agreement?"
As Dame Lady Admiral Honor Harrington said "They need to realize that this is a WAR.... THEIR WAR... and WARS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!!!"
I'll see you on the other side of my guns..
