    Aye, the official launcher is a piece of smelly brown thing. Ever since the Galactic War update, it ceased to work for me.

    Ever since, I was using the Alternative GO Launcher by @SXX and it works like a charm. Someone should give him an award or something.

    Not sure whether this was before or after your issues, but a new launcher version is out based on build 72061. No notes on what changes were made for this version though.

    The new launcher version doesn't help with the issue. Just tested it.

    Thanks a lot for your help. Do I need to source these files from Anyware ?

    Minor, but they fixed the down arrow by username on OS X; it was a '6' or something like that before.

    It is nigh-impossible to screw up stuff like renaming the files, unpacking .zip archives or the like.
    Because you never programm that kind of stuff - you order the OS to do the work for you.

    If OS API calls do not work there is less then nothing the programmer can do about it.

    Doesnt work. When i click on my key in the list, no steam question appears. It just brings me to the "oh this is your alpha deluxe key details" page. Nothing whatsoever about steam.

    I'm not able to get past the launcher running the update either.

    The problem I see is 50 or 51 of 52 files download and the decompressing starts running, it seems that when it reaches the last 7 files it can't decompress and throws the error message. Even though I see 52 files downloaded in the log - see below.

    Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
    Build 71937
    Launcher v72061

    I've uninstalled the beta I was running by deleting the PA folder under Program Files (x86) and downloading the latest pa_setup.exe from here:
    store.uberent.com/download/PA_Setup.exe

    I deleted the associated PA and Uberent files/folders under C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Uber Entertainment\UberLauncher
    I had 3 folders related to PA from running the Beta and installing new

    I saw when running the launcher version from c:\games\.... it was downloading the files to the cache folder under Program Files (x86)\PA .......

    I've run the launcher dozens of times but it keeps failing on decompressing the files (I have 456 GB free on this disk- its the only disk in my laptop)

    When I do a fresh install I see launcher version v 1.1.62948 on the launcher screen in the lower left, but after the launcher updates itself it shows Launcherv72061 (missing the 1.1. before the 72061, is this an indcation it's a beta version of the Launcher?)

    As the launcher wont work you'd better send an email to support@uberent.com and request a steam key. The steam version is working as far as I know.
