SoulPlay experimental XP / Windows 7 launcher - test 1 This ONE EXE selects Java for XP, Windows 7, or newer Windows automatically. XP SP3: install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 FULL (not Client Profile) first. Windows 7 SP1: .NET Framework 4.8 is recommended; .NET 4.0 Full is the minimum. Modern Windows: use the normal launcher for everyday play. 1. Download SoulPlayLauncher-XP-Test.exe from the SoulPlay download page. 2. Open it normally. It does not require an administrator account. 3. It checks a signed release, downloads the client and appropriate Java, verifies the cache and opens the game. Keep application/cache folders between attempts. 4. Interrupted downloads retain verified 1 MiB blocks. Reopen to continue. 5. If it fails, send the Windows version/service pack, 32/64-bit, and these logs: %LOCALAPPDATA%\SoulPlay\xp-test-updater\launcher-error.txt %LOCALAPPDATA%\SoulPlay\xp-test-updater\client-*.log On XP this is normally under Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data. Cache log: \SoulPlay-live-v35\soulplaycache\cache-update.log Do not send account passwords or private files. Diagnostics: SoulPlayLauncher-XP-Test.exe --verify-only checks launcher downloads. SoulPlayLauncher-XP-Test.exe --repair verifies/repairs cache without entering gameplay. This build targets .NET 4.0 and includes managed TLS 1.2 with certificate-chain, hostname and expiry checks. The update signing key and per-block SHA-256 checks remain enforced. XP uses archived Azul Zulu Java 8u202 x86, with a refreshed CA trust store. Windows 7/newer use the current x86/x64 runtime packages. XP disables optional Discord Rich Presence and uses the existing software renderer. IMPORTANT: This is an experimental legacy build with an OLD Java runtime on XP. It has NOT been validated on an actual XP or Windows 7 installation. Initial checks were run on the developer's modern Windows host; OS compatibility testing is the purpose of this download. The normal production launcher is unchanged. Runtime licenses/notices and source links are included in each Java package.
