Launcher freezing, not loading, can't load Wurm

[olafhairybreeks 595]

I can't seem to log in to Wurm today. I've had several issues trying to get the launcher to load. Sometimes It won't launch at all, and I get the following details

On other occasions I have been able to load the launcher, but it doesn't work properly. First of all it's slow to load from the splash screen. It's also very slow to respond to changing between the news tabs or simply scrolling down to read updates, as in takes about 15 seconds to respond. It tries to download an update, but remains at 0%. I cannot close the launcher by clicking the X in the corner, I have to right click and select quit. I did once manage to launch the game, but it couldn't connect to the server. My Java was last updated on the 3rd of this month. I've attempted to check for updates, but it seems reluctant.

    Hate you have having issues gettting into the game.  I have googled   Wurm  Unable to load resource and found a few post with similar issues.                               

One of the easiest fixes I saw , which had logs error logs like yours was  ,

After cleaning java temporary internet files and redownloading the game it seems to be fine again.

 

   I am only posting this to try and help mate till a proper response.    Goggle wurm  Unable to load resource.

 

 

 Good luck seeya soon in game

SUNNY RULEZ OK. I deleted the temp Java files (instructions are on the Java website), and attempted to launch through my shortcut. I got as far as the loading screen, but I was unable to connect. After this crashing, I deleted the temp files again, and tried launching from the Wurmonline website. This got the game working, and I'm back to tending my sheep.
