I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's because the Macbook only has built in Intel graphics. The Pro has a discrete video card, which we require to run. Sorry man.

There is a very tiny cancel button in the launch pad by where it shows the file being downloaded/updated. Hit that and try a full scan.

As Vanskills notes, no, this isn't kool. We clearly don't intend for you to lose valuables due to technical difficulties, and we're very sorry when it happens. Vanskills, and everybody who runs into this, please contact our support team and let them know what happened.

There are some issues with the station launcher and downloading a new install. My workaround was to go into the game folder, delete everything in lp_temp, and start the download again.

The audio pigs each should range from 90-350 MB each so it is not suprising to me that they are taking a long time. Also, the time estimates on the launchpad are usually pretty inaccurate.

So - if the launchpad is having issues downloading files that is one issue. If the launchpad finishes the download, starts the game, and crashes it is another issue. You should attach a launchpad log for launchpad issues (and contact station support) and attach a client log for the game not being able to start (client logs are in "My Document\Pirates of the Burning Sea\log")

Hello folks,

As this has gone off-topic from the OP's original issue, we'll just let it go away.

If you're having issues, please file support tickets so the tech teams are aware of the issues.

Thanks!

Stealing Wind is a concept that we played around with for a while. We finally discarded it because we couldn't figure out a good way to represent it in the game (where you had to be positionally to steal the wind) as well as all the permutations of it (you need a similar sized or bigger ship to be in front of you, etc.).

Attach a launchpad.log from when you hang on updating to this post. They live in "C:\Program Files\Sony\Station\LaunchPad". Also, have you tried a full scan?

1) Forgive my ignorance, but what's a time demo?
2) Assuming the answer to the above doesn't blow my mind, probably not, since work we don't spend on this is work we can devote to something else. And we still think that the answer is going to come from Nvidia.
3) Having shaken the branches today, Nvidia assured me that the bug has shot all the way up to the highest level, and they'll get back to me on Monday.

Thanks mate!!! We do love a fun environment!

Yes, Blackbeard needs a reboot to make it more better (i.e. prevent "looking for idle zone server")
