Server Down?

[piratesahoy]

I got this today from Pirates Online when I reported the Microsoft error (i also posted this reply in another thread):

Thank you for reporting a problem.

Pirates of the Caribbean Online uses DirectX 9 as the default API to
render graphics. If the version installed on your computer from your
video card manufacturer is unsupported or corrupted, Pirates Online will
then use an older version of DirectX. However, for better 3-D game
display, you will want to update DirectX from Microsoft’s website.

If you still experience display issues within the game, try changing
the Graphic settings under the Options control panel. Be sure to click
Save before you close the Options screen.

Graphic settings that can be changed:

Reflection
•Off
•Sky Only
•On

Shader Level 4 (requires a restart)
•Off
•On

Shadows
•Simple
•Rendered

Texture Detail Level (requires a restart)
•Low
•Medium
•High
•Maximum
•Compressed

Note: both Shader Level 4 and Texture Detail Level require a restart of
the game in order for the changes to take effect.

Thanks again for your email and we look forward to seeing you soon in
Pirates of the Caribbean Online.
