[FIXED] Download hangs

luxe version: 2025.6.1
launcher version: 2025.6.1

Hi,

I’m trying a fresh install using the 2025.6.1 launcher on macOS. I click “Install” and it seems to hang in the “Installing” state with an empty circle which does not progress.

This feedback is related to:
First install

Hi! Thanks for posting!

We were just debugging this yesterday and now on the discord.

I was about to make a troubleshooting thread, but you can try this older version of the launcher as a workaround for now while we isolate the issue.

mac
linux
windows

Note the download works for some, not for others!

Thanks, I’ll check those out. Also, in the launcher the Discord link is invalid, and I believe the one on the preview download page as well. Couldn’t find other links to join.

Yea let me know if the download works in that version.

I just tested the discord link on the homepage (same one as the one in the launcher) and it did work, which is interesting. Here’s another one I just generated to try though.

I’ve put a new build up for testing! This would be launcher 2025.6.2 - please report back.

Perfect that loads correctly, thank you!

This should be properly resolved now! Let us know if you still see it but it should work retroactively for already downloaded versions of the launcher as well.

Was gonna say: downloads used to regularly hang on me in the luxe launcher, and the last few releases have all come through without a hitch!

One more note for this: on some linux versions it would still fail, the latest launcher for linux (2025.6.5) has a fix that should alleviate this problem on those distros. Thanks everyone for reporting and testing!

Noted in discord but I’ll report here too, on the 2025.6.5 launcher on mac I see stuck downloads. Downloaded the 2025.1.1 launcher from itch.io to get the latest engine/editor
