Well, I got a new error message in Uru Live (on my Mac). While it was on the spinning-book updating screen, a little window popped up:

Urulive Error
Secure file preloader failed

Now, I haven't tried restarting yet, so I'm not sure if this affects the game, but I was wondering if anyone else has gotten this, and what it means.

During that spinning book phase, the client downloads around 7MB of data that describes a lot of how the puzzles and features of the game work. This is in a "secure" download every time you start up with the objectives that it stops someone cheating by hacking the client (or at least makes it harder) and allows some updates to puzzles without needing to rebuild the ages or client.

The error is simply saying that it couldn't complete that download for some reason: If this has worked before then it's most likely some temporary glitch with your internet connection, and it'll work OK next time you log on.
