Ahoy! I experienced the same issue a couple weeks ago. I had /bugged the issue and the dev team were able to find an issue in the steam installer that they rolled out a fix for.

I happened to still be experiencing issues and found a quickfix that worked for me, although I am unsure that it will work for others but I thought I would share in case it does, since I've seen lots of posts asking with no real solutions offered.

I will assume you've gone through the recommended steps listed on The Official Installation Help Page.

Then if you have not already, the next step recommended is verifying you have a clean install by taking the following steps:

1) Right-click Puzzle Pirates in the Steam Library and choose the "Delete Local Content..." option to remove the game.
2) Navigate to your Steam Puzzle Pirates folder. Default is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dark Seas and delete any remaining files or folders.
3) Go to Dark Seas in the Steam Store and install the game again normally.

After those steps is where the solution that worked for me comes in. I copied the following files from the Classic Puzzle Pirates install folder to the Dark Seas install folder:

From the /native subfolder, all the dll files except the steam_api and steam_api64
From the main folder, the following:
- adeeocto.ico
- all of the jpg files
- full.dat

Once I had done that, running the app through steam cause it to begin working again. Hopefully this is of some use to you, otherwise it may be easier to Contact Support with an attachment of your launcher.log so they can see what specific issue you're encountering.
