Can't connect

I just downloaded the game and let it install, and it's telling me that I cannot connect to the gameserver. 'Cannot connect to gameserver.piratesblahblah' and whenever I click retry, it just hangs on that and keeps going back to the same thing. Could there be an error somewhere I dunno about?

I had a similar problem the other day.

Cannot connect to gameserver.piratesonline.com:7667 is the message I was getting.

It cleared up for me when I restarted my laptop, but im not sure if that had anything to do with it or not. I think it was related to my internet connection at the time. Or a problem with thier servers. Technically you've already connected to some of thier systems to authenticate your account, and load your selection of pirates. So this leads me to believe it may be some issues happening on thier end occasionally.

Anyone else have any information? Any would probably be better than mine. hehe

You may need to configure your firewall or proxy (if you use one) to allow traffic on port 80, 443, and 667. I've also noticed it opens port 7667 but they didnt include that in their FAQ about firewalls. In any case, if theres anything limiting traffic on these ports, you might be unable to connect.

If you still have trouble, you can try contacting support, though it seems their standard answer used to be to update your video drivers. Havent heard that one in a while though
