I can't seem to get this game to run on my other pc.  just getting a java error message trying to get the desktop launcher to start.

Make sure Java is up to date. If it refuses to launch you may want to try the .bat trick to launch it that way, which is
1. Create Text document
2. Add Text:

@echo off
start "" javaw -jar Launcher.jar

3. Save as RSC.bat file (save as type - chose all files) in the same directory as DesktopLauncher

Let us know if you have more issues.

so um ya. no clue what your saying. 
the download gave me this

desktoplauncher.jar 452 kb

i ended up manually unzipping it and i got a bunch of files but no real thing to launch it with.
it gave me 3 folder called  com, resources and meta-inf

this .bat text file. what do i use to make it and were in this folder do i stick it?

my wifes pc is newer and it was just more or less click and play.

DesktopLauncher.jar shouldn't be unzipped, winRAR'd, or anything else, it should simply be open in Java. Make sure you have the latest version of Java installed https://java.com/en/download/

Try this, create a new folder and put the Launcher.jar file inside it. Open up notepad and type “java -jar Launcher.jar” without the quotations. Go to file > save as > drop menu, select “All files,” and type “launch.bat”, without the quotes, and hit save. Can you post what error message you’re getting? I’m assuming you have Java installed but you don’t have the environment variable set, please see this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/167 … stallation

Or, if that is a bit too difficult, go back to the .bat file we created and replace the word “java” with “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\java” but obviously update this directory to wherever you have it installed on your computer . Hope this helps!!

“java -jar Launcher.jar” without the quotations. Go to file > save as > drop menu, select “All files,” and type “launch.bat

i try it an a smallish screen pops up for a slipt second then vanishes. don't work

go back to the .bat file we created and replace the word “java” with “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\java”

Same result as above.

: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/167 … stallation

took alook and thats way over my head. its gibberish to me.

Yeah sorry man it’s difficult to explain over text sad
My next suggestion (and probably the easiest) would be what the gentleman before me stated, have n0m set it up for you over teamviewer.. good luck hopefully you can get online very soon
