Game Crashed During Pirate Encounter

Pretty Much Title.

Game crashed during the 3rd phase of the pirate encounter. Booted me to the login screen and when I was able to log back in the portal was gone and my only option was to abandon my ship and its contents.

Can there be a fix to this issue? This is the second time this has happened to me and I cannot be the only one.

You should be able to zone back into the pirate fight if anything happens, in my opinion.

I got locked out of the fight after I stepped through the portal then misclicked and ended up back in Kingsmarch.. but with no way to go back in and no option to rescue.

That's some garbage.

Didn't engage boss, didn't get to rescue sailors or shipment.

Please help, GGG. Make it so that you can always zone back into the fight. This is ludicrous.

Or make it so that if you misclick and exit by accident without fighting pirate, that you can zone back in again.

Make the option to rescue always there. But fight starts again in the case of disconnect -- to keep it fair and avoid intentional disconnects.

Please fix this now. I'm waiting to get my crew and shipments back. I want to fight the pirates. let me.
