Okay apologies. I just got off a much too long shift and mixed the jar and exe while typing.
For clarity: I had the newest files from the OP downloaded (both the win 64 and Java/jar one). Opened and installed them the same way I've done for years now. Ran exe, and got the Java notice. Double checked the install instructions thinking maybe I was dumb and did something wrong. I did what they said as that's the way I always did it. Nothing. Try the exe, Java notice. Try the jar, Java notice. Seriously the only thing I did different was not get the files off Mega because I had hit my limit yesterday while I downloaded them.
Though also I need to make a point: I could actually open and run the game from clicking the jar file before. I haven't been playing or following the game super close for months now (various highly personal reasons) so maybe they changed something in that time but I was fully able to do so before this version.
