Client won't launch, please help haven't been able to get on

So, according the the XMage launcher there are no updates or anything I'm missing but when I click Launch Client + Server the black screen loads, but stays blank and nothing happens.

Anyone know what the problem is / how to fix?

I have been experiencing a similar issue.

Error: could not open `C:\Users\name\Downloads\java\jre1.7.0_75\lib\amd64\jvm.cfg'

I'm having a problem with the Launcher as well (on a Mac).

Here's the message I'm getting:

1) System OS and version?
2) Can you download XMage from the link mage-bundle-1.3.0.dev2015-03-14v8.zip?
3) Is it the first time you use the launcher or did it work before?
4) Which java version is installed? (java -version)
5) What's written in the xmage_launcher.log?

You can use XMage also without the launcher:

I see here two possible reasons for the problem.
1) You use the launcher in a directory where the user does not have full access to write / edit files.
2) You use the launcher in a directory that has some characters in the path (like blanks) that may cause problems.

But I guess 1) is more likely.

Try to move the launcher to another directory (maybe a directory xmage in the home directory of the user) and try again to install xmage with the launcher.
