I logged in (after a medium pause), and it's downloading packages again (after already updating to 1.3 yesterday).

(I haven't switched to new launcher yet, nor tried connecting to any servers.)

Given that words beginning with kn are comparatively rare, it must be more than coincidental that two different bendy bits of the human body start with it. Three, actually, as toe joints are called knublets. Well, I am going to call them knublets.

Hmm, tried the old client and logged in first time. After an hour of (when I could be arsed/remembered) trying in the new client. I suspect that the new client is a bit fucky.

Aye, I took it down when the server went to 1.3, but put it bak when you said you wanted it.

Thanks, but it doesn't work :(

Do you have the old launcher to hand?

To: Matt 797 of 3934

Yeah, but that'll update to 1.3 straight away.

 

What doesn't work about it? :|

I couldn't get the new minecraft.exe launcher to connect to the authentication server regardless of the . jar file version I had.

 

I found a copy of the old launcher on the net, after downloading the new one mislabelled as the old one at least 5 times, and now it works. Had to delete the bin folder entirety to get it to update though.

 

Seems Mojang know the new launcher isn't working, yet they still have it on the website. Would it kill them to take it down while they can't get the bloody thing to work?

Ah - is the new launcher in an exe too? I'm stillusing the JAR that notch put out last week.

Yeah, if you download minecraft.exe from the official site you get the new launcher, which doesn't work.

I've been trying to use the browser version but it's no good on my laptop. Works great at work though :$

You're far more than a mere human, and thus excluded.

I was musing earlier that all external bodily bendy bits seem to involve either a (k)n sound or a w sound.

KNuckles
KNees
NecK
aNKle

Wrist
Waist
elboW
shoWlder (IT COUNTS!)

And then you've got a choice of KNob, Willy, or - spanning both categories - WiNKie.

I have no idea what (if any) relevance all of that might hold, but I feel it's worth mentioning - especially since this topic is unlikely to be derailable in its current state and thus it's the perfect place to post these ponderings.
