[RESOLVED, workaround]: "Unable to launch the application"

[Trake 360]

tl;dr

I'm trying to download, install and play Wurm on a secondary computer but I am getting the following error: "Unable to launch the application."

 

ts;wm

I recently uninstalled my x86 (32 bit) Java and installed x64 Java. 

The game WAS working on 32 bit java but I was running into multiple crashes, weird client lags, etc.. and was recommended to upgrade to x64. 

 

Now when I try to launch - I get error: Unable to launch the application

- details below - 

 

I have deleted all of the cache files through Java configuration app.

I have removed all of the application files. 

I have attempted to re-download / install the Wurm Online client and am unable to proceed. 

 

(I even tried downloading through a Tor proxy to see if maybe this is a network issue on my local firewall).

You could try the preview client instead: https://wurmonline.com/client/wurmclient_preview.jnlp

[Trake 360]

And that .jnlp file is working without any issues so far. Redownloading .jars 

 

Any explanation as to the difference between the two client files? 

 

Also, thank you!
