UPDATE for anyone in future reading this who encountered the same issue as me: this was entirely fixed by the very kind and clever dev releasing an updated version of the LaunchCat mac homecoming launcher (different from the one linked in the Getting Started guide as of writing this). The download took basically 60 seconds and used the same folder that IslandRum had created so all my characters etc. were intact, absolutely flawless so far, goodbye corrupted IslandRum Version used here:

@GM Manga Oh my goodness I've been searching/trying for 2 days for ways to fix my corrupted IslandRum launcher after the update because I couldn't get LaunchCat to download anything when I tried it, and I tried the version you posted here and it WORKED PERFECTLY AT LAST THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️ it even used the existing /coh folder from IslandRum and saved all my characters etc. The version linked in the Get Started guide does NOT work though I tested it just yesterday, so maybe someone in charge of forum stuff needs to be poked about changing it? Again thank you so much, I gather you're pretty much solely responsible for allowing me to discover and play this great game I owe you my life 🙏

Ahh I was so hoping this would work, after I selected "Re-scan" in IslandRum launcher window it regenerated the folders and everything, but it still says it cannot locate the game data files and may be corrupted. 😞 I tried deleting version.ini as well in case that was doing something weird and same result. I did notice something odd in the islandrum.sh file: there's a random backslash at the end of the target launch directory. I don't know much about this stuff but mac doesn't use backslashes, could this be a typo/weird conflict? I haven't looked at this file while the game was working so I don't know if it was always that way, unfortunately. I tried editing it but it just got rewritten by the launcher :I tysm for the suggestion though!

Hit a Circle archer so hard the other day I made them rethink their life choices (ragdolls = endless simple entertainment lol). Friend made this beautiful thing for me

I have high speed internet but my ISP (UPC-Sunrise) has an occasional random bias against smaller websites specifically on my home connection, which I think what is happening here. It's been an issue for over a decade and they're not showing any signs of fixing it unfortunately 😕 Reinstalling Island Rum and all files would probably take about an hour though, I just don't want to lose any of my save data, is any of it stored locally? UPDATE: I looked into the program files and saw there's a lot of the stuff I've manually saved (costumes etc.) but I'm not sure what else I need to rip out to shove back into a reinstall... that's probably the easiest solution, right? Just delete and reinstall Island Rum/CoH and put back all the files I need to restore my characters etc.?

I'm using Island Rum on MacOS (Big Sur) and getting the same error, I wasn't able to use the official launcher because the game files download took 4 hours and the slowness made the launcher think it had failed, resulting in the download never "completing" and the game launch failing. Any suggestions?
