Every time I try and run Salem, I get an application error that says, "Unable to launch the application."
In the details it tells me, "Error: Unable to load resource: http://plymouth.seatribe.se/java/builtin-res.jar" and give me this in the "Launch File" tab;

Edit: I am running a "custom client" but the same thing happens when I run the forum client.

Good chance something is corrupted and clearing the cache in Java will work. There could be other problems such as with your network, though.

I've cleared my Java cache a few times to see if that was the issue, but it didn't seem to do anything because the same error kept popping up after I had cleared the cache.

I was having the same error as the first one you posted. This was happening to me because for some reason I couldn't connect to the salem server/forums. No idea how it got fixed to be honest, I just kept trying to connect again.

I've been getting the same thing for the last hours or so... couldn't get on the forums, seatribe nor paradox websites either. It might be a interwebz issue... UK based here.

And I can now launch the game... give it another go guys

edit: and it went down again.

Searching the net (what i can get to) it looks like there are all kinds of outages going on at the moment. I've seen one source claiming Level3 (one of the EU core network people) are having issues so it's all a bit chaotic...

I live in the U.S.
I've had no issue with the forums, as I've always been able to get on when I do. The only issue I have is trying to actually run and play the game. It just won't run the damn game.

Bump: I'm still having the same issues.

have you tried running the default client first?

This. There's something in the code requiring you to run the default client at least once.

Next, I hadn't noticed before, but issues with the third party clients need to be taken up with the mod programmer in their thread. This forum is here to report and solve bugs and technical issues in the standard client and server.

I've tried it multiple times with the default client, it just doesn't work.
Same error pops up.
