hmmm The cavern seems to be up one minute and down the next? Last couple of days I can get in with the old computer running WIN XP OS with no problem.
But it is mostly a "No Go" with WIN 10, the launcher just crashes down on update.
The strange thing with WIN XP launcher there is no Cavcon status showing, but still able to log in ?
What would be the difference between: WIN XP VS. WIN 10 ?
Chocolate sounds more inviting than the launcher

See post.

With XP that error didn’t usually cause a crash, while later versions are more strict.

I can only enter the game running the Skydiving client on my Windows 7 laptop.
Nothing seems to work if I run Windows 10 (if I set compatibility mode for the MOULa launcher to Windows XP the game loads but an error window opens and takes the focus).

I can get in OK

with Win 10 using an internal MOUL client (Like Mr Magic uses) But the normal external client does not appear to be talking to the Login Authorisation Servers so will not run properly.

The support.cyan.com is now online, albeit not functioning fully. But enough of it is functioning to get the status message to the MOULa launcher... albeit an old message. So, you should be able to get into MOULa with an external client now.

As far as support.cyan.com - it went through a tragic database crash and was not able to be restored. For now, please just send emails to [email protected] for support.

BTW, thanks for the virtual beer and pizza!

Thanks,
Chogon

I can confirm that the game properly launches again after checking if support.cyan.com is available.

In addition to that the game updated again but there don't seem to be any changes in the ReleaseNotes.txt...

Did it just download/install the same update as before or is it a newer one that doesn't list changes (and possibly addresses the crash when the server isn't available)?

I don't believe the Release Notes are routinely updated unless there's something significant that you need to know about. The last couples of updates were just to add a new T-shirt design and then to add the same design on a long sleeved shirt. You likely just picked up the latter of these.
