I don't think the developer has anything to do with it this time. I've downloaded a few versions in the past and compiled some myself, never had a .bat in them as far as I remember. Probably a band-aid someone in the community made because they were struggling to get the .jar to run. (I could be wrong though... it has been a while.)Complete Bullshit I had to jump through these hoops to get this game to run, if this happens again I'm not bothering with it, does anyone know if Innoxia is addressing the problem? The bat file seems like a bandaid
In other words, it's not the developer's responsibility to fix a problem the pirate community created for themselves. These preview builds are pre-packaged for subscribers, as an incentive for their support, and they tend to work right out of the box... for them. Anyone else who wants to play the preview builds can do so but they will have to compile it themselves and the results are pretty hit or miss on whether it works or not, thus the band-aids.
Reason why we only get .jars now is because those are easier to get a hold off. There are a few tutorials that explain what programs to use and what steps to replicate, including some troubleshooting if needed. All of this for a .jar executable. Creating an .exe out of it is another story. The alternative would be to subscribe and leak the versions as they come out, which I don't think anyone here is going to do given the game's rep...
Fair to say you're better off compiling the game yourself or waiting for the official, public builds.
