[Fixed] Unable to Launch Wurm (Packs Stuck In "Setting Up")

[GeminiJulz 0]

I am unable to launch Wurm.

 

When trying to launch the Unstable Client:  Java verification shows, then it shows a screen that says Verifying application.  After a couple seconds that screen goes away and nothing happens

When trying to launch the Stable Client: The verification goes though and the client goes to the startup page (with the login information)  It shows Downloading 0% in red.  If i click on Pack updates the progress bar says "Setting up..." and all buttons below are grayed out.  The progress bar does not move.

 

I am on a Windows 10 machine, 64 bit

I am on the most recent version of java (i just verified on the java website)

I have also tried removing the applet and reinstalling it (both unstable and stable version) to no avail 

i have also tried manually pulling the packs from https://wurmpedia.com/index.php/Common_bugs_and_solutions and placed the .jar files in wurm/packs/ 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Noted the error. Make sure experimental packs isn't ticked

I feel silly.  I didn't even think to uncheck that, I assumed since the buttons were grayed out that I wouldn't be able to uncheck the boxes.  I'm in, thank you so much!
