Title: Alpha3 Win Executable?
Post by: theduke2 on April 10, 2014, 01:13:47 PM
Just downloaded the RimWorld Alpha3 Win version.  At the risk of sounding blind and/or clueless, I can't seem to find the executable to run the game.  Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

did you unzip it?

Yes, I unzipped it.  I had no problems getting the first two alphas running.

It unzips to RimWorld408Win, which has 2 more directories, Mods and RimWorld408Win_Data.  The latter directory has a Managed, Mono, and Resources folder, and some files with extension types "ASSETS" "RESS" and unspecified (mainData, Level0).  Nothing anywhere looks like an executable, in any of the directories.

Any other ideas?

Well this made my heart skip a beat!

The executable should be there, alongside the Mods and Data folders. The zip folder contents are like this:

My only theory is that some virus protection you're running stripped it out.

Something weird must have happened, because when I downloaded the file the first time, maybe about 20 minutes after the email notice arrived, the file size was 48,601KB dated 11:57 AM 4/10/2014.  When I just downloaded it a second time moments ago (1:21 PM), the file size if 53,446 KB and the executable is where it should be.

This happened to me while downloading the dev versions before. Most of the time I re-downloaded and it had the exe. It's really odd.
