Hi PirateGirl,

The red x does not mean there is any problem with your graphics card. It means the launcher is unable to connect to the internet because it is being blocked. This can happen when an update makes the launcher look different to the firewall.

What you need to do is to let your firewall program know that the program launcher.exe is OK to run. How you go about that differs from one brand of firewall to another.

Basically, you want to open whatever program you are using for a firewall. Look around the options for something that will let you browse to the launcher.exe file and add it to a list of trusted programs. Consult your firewall's instructions.

After the install completes, you may have to repeat the process to add pirates_online.exe to the trusted list as well. Both of these files can be found in the folder where the game installs.

Download problems like this will happen from time to time when there is an update.
