Problems with starting the game

I was using the custom clients till yesterday when it stopped starting the game for some reason, so i decided to try the normal client and it did the same problem, it just shows as if it is updating and installs the game but it won't install a launcher, this happens with both the clients, custom and vanilla (the custom client is Latikai's custom client)
i had no idea where to put this post so i just put it in bugs, hopefully this is the right place for it.

Thanks in advance,

For my client you need java 7 as of yesterday. However, i don't think the default client has the same restriction (java 5 iirc). Possibly java is blocking the selfsigned certificates ? This should give a message, though.

However if you see the same thing happening for the default client as for ny client (ie you're not getting my updater launched) this points to other issues, which I haven't encountered yet.

I updated to java 7 from my former java 6 and now the game works for the custom client, however it doesn't give me a launcher to click on and that makes me depended on going to the forum all the time to click your link to launch it.
Vanilla client is working but same problem as the custom client, no launcher is shown or found on my PC when i search for it.

Instead of just clicking, right click the link and use the "save link as..." and save it to your desktop. you can then use that shortcut to launch every time.

You can also go into your Java settings and tell Java to create a shortcut for an installed app, but that takes a bit of digging around.

Ya i though of saving it, hope it doesn't bug on me in some way.
I guess i'm stuck like this till the next patch or so till a new version is up. :/
