Game wont start by steam

[Lauwbier]

Message: We were unable to download the necessary files after five attempts. You can try running the appilication again, but if it fails you may need to uninstall and reinstall.

Anyone else?

I've also downloaded the game by the site. After having trouble starting it by site i've downloaded Java player. Now the game starts but its says:

The server is under heavy load presently. Please try again in few minutes.

Anyone else?

I must be really lucky cus I can get into the sub and both english language dub oceans. There is a blockade on Emerald that started 10 minutes ago and the dock I was on had pirates on it.

I keep my Steam up to date and I am on a Windows machine.

What version of Steam are you on, what OS are you running, etc?

Have you looked through past Discussion threads for ways to try to un and re install?

Ok, I got these instructions before but no one has said they work yet. try them?
From the Digest Thread.

I asked someone who is more experienced than me (not hard to do) about this and got their ok to share.

"do you know how to get to the game files for mac?"
"you can delete the file and it will re-download it"
"open file manager"
"in the addressbar part, type %appdata%"
"Roaming/three rings"
"puzzle pirates"
"and delete the digest"
"If the application fails to launch because it's missing digest.txt, then you'll need to delete the following three files and relaunch the application: getdown.txt, version.txt, and digest.txt."
"https://yppedia.puzzlepirates.com/♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥:Installation"
"its at the bottom :P"
"but that location is wrong"
"new location is %appdata%"
"...a re-install on steam might also fix it"
"i dont use steam client, so i dont know for sure"
"ah, steam does install it to a different location"
"but the files are the same"
"so deleting the files on the steamapps location also should work"

Some people can also download from the main website, but last I tried it took both Java 32 and Java 64. No idea if they have made the download installer more Java friendly yet.
