Bugs & Glitches

## The "Gold Virus"

* At seemingly random times during the day, players on the leaderboard will unwantedly get millions and millions and millions of gold. This then spreads down the leaderboard, "infecting" players. This is a problem because it disrupts the game, rendering gold useless (because there is SO much of it around, everyone can buy a Night Wind, Fortune Trader, or Black Oyster.) Because everyone has such great ships and all of the gold in the world, the game isn't fun anymore. This bug or hack also manipulates the leaderboard. Sharks, who has a high score of 42.118M, is pushed far down the leaderboard because of infected players receiving millions. Another problem is it can also get players banned. A player may unwillingly receive this gold, then get banned for having too much gold in the game. It is unknown who started this or if it is some kind of bug. This is by far the most important thing that the developers must fix, as it is a critical flaw in the game. If you know anything about this or the person that's doing this, you can report it to the Discord server. Using this gold hack can resolve in a permanent ban!

## Login Problems

Most login bugs have been fixed. If you encounter any submit them in the Discord channel (#bug-reports)

Here are some known issues/possible workarounds:

* Signing up with an email sets your username to the first part of your email rather than the actual username you wanted to use **Resolved**
* Infinite loading/black screen issue - **try disabling adblock to fix this issue**

## Cargo Glitches

### Krew Overloading Cargo

You can overload cargo past the limit, this requires multiple players. If you have multiple players, have them each one by one fill the cargo. Then, they will leave the krew. After, you will fill the cargo and have them join back and it will show up as, for example, 1200/600. **No Longer Works**

### Cargo Limit Bypass

After the Christmas update, players could for a short time(before it was patched) overload their ships with infinite cargo, as much as their gold could buy. **No Longer Works**

### Cargo dupe

There is a new way for all krew members to get max cargo. If all of your krew buys cargo at the same time the game doesn't register it fast enough and you can get way more cargo than the normal limit. **No Longer Works**

## Krew Glitches

#### Overloading Krew

You can overload krew past the limit, this requires two boats and multiple players. Say you had the Baby Fancy, which had a max krew of 3 people. Buy a boat with a larger max capacity than that, and let people fill in. Once the krew is about 2-3 people more than the max capacity of the old boat, then buy your old boat again, and you will have unlimited krew that can join your boat (Note: this is risky and may not be worth it). **No Longer Works**

## Other Glitches

#### Buying a Cannon, Fishing Rod, and a Raft at Jamaica

   Upon collecting enough clams and crabs you can use the "choose your upgrade" popup menu to buy the Cannon, Fishing Rod, and a Raft at Jamaica even though you can not normally buy these items at this location. **No Longer Works**

#### Levitating

After docking at an Islands and buying a new ship you will levitate into the sky while holding your fishing rod before falling back down. You can stop levitating by switching to your cannon and levitate again by switching back to your fishing rod. This will repeat until you set sail and leave. **Resolved**

#### Having more upgrades than levels

   If you click either "5", "6", or "7" very quickly, it may give you multiple levels per click. However, abusing this bug may result in a kick or a ban.

Abuse of any of the bugs above would make any WOF run, or Pro Player run/Legendary Wardog/Perfect100 run invalid!
