Had the same problem last night. All you have to do is go into your C drive and your users folder. Open the folder with your username on it and find the wurm folder inside. Delete the folder and the next time you open up wurm it will ask if you want to install. Go through the install process and it will work.
The downloader hangs up regardless of what I delete, or how many times I reboot....What a mess
What does the error say under pack updates, are you getting "Update Failed!. (Error: Could not copy graphics.jar to graphics.jars.bak)" or is it a different error?
I wonder how much personal info was stolen like credit card, bank, passwords, and paypal.
Rolf if any of that info was stolen or accessed you need to send out mass emails telling everyone that their credit card and other personal info is not secure. Those people need to get their accounts frozen before whomever uses their info to make purchases. If you don't have any of their email info then you need to put it on the main site that any and all account related information has been compromised if you are not 100% sure it has not been and cannot confirm it wasn't you need to do the right thing.

As far as i'm aware , only the website ( PhP ) was compromised as has already been said .
The shop itself isn't part of the forums / wiki , and neither is account info .
It's not a hack in terms of what your thinking , . It is more of a security vulnerability in PhP that was exploited , and allowed code to be added to the website itself that downloaded malicous stuff when you went onto that page .
Hence why they shut down the website as soon as it was spotted .
Stuck for me too, deleted the packs to see if it helpt, but it didn't.
Been at 0% for a hour now and no progress on the downloading of the packs.
Not that it bothers me much just hoping the devs won't have to much trouble with fixing stuff after the attack.
So good luck and hope it goes well:)
My Wurm client attempted to update, got stuck on not being able to update the graphics.jar.bak file after update d/l. I deleted packs but this did not help.
I finally completely uninstalled Wurm and cleaned everything up, and installed again. Success.
(yes I said a few weeks ago on these forums I quit MMOs... I did. I quit all the "Normal" MMOs I was playing and cheering for. I still play Wurm a little, but it's not a normal MMO... it's better in many ways imho.)
Could log on earlier today. Now i click to play on the webpage and nothing. Get a page not found. WTF. When Rolf says this will be sorted out in a few weeks I hope he meant WURM weeks, not real weeks. Otherwise his game may die.
If you are looking to try out this game, this is what you can expect at least on a once a month basis, if not more.
Everything will go to crap and the sole person who can do anything about it will go into cloak mode for the weekend and you are stuck with people crying for some BS sleep bonus in game. There is a reason this game is so cheap. You spend most of your time wondering how much longer it'll be before you can log in and play the game you just paid for.
What this game needs is a Public Relations department that isn't actually just there to stroke the fanboys. Nevermind, this game really needs someone who gives a crap about their own game enough to pay attention to WTF is going on.

Delete the Graphics.jar file and it will downlod a fresh one 226mb and the game will launchlogin then.
Seems like a problem with the new patcher.

It doesn't even make it that far, it starts downloading and freezes on wooden chest files and won't go any further

Lucky you:)
I tried to remove everything, but i guess something is still out there since it still gets stuck while updating.
Its strange since i have never had such problems beforexD
hm, tried uninstal, but still cannt get even to the usual wurm launcher window
all i am getting is the small java window with "unable to launch application"

Chickenshit game just got even more chickenshit. Can't even log in.
YO! Someone wake up that swedish assbag and tell him to kick start the hamsters.
Also cant launch the game, its 7pm prime here in the UK on a saturday...

They really need to get thier arse in gear, this is just shoddy customer support, or rather literally zero customer support.
This game is getting near rock bottom.
Website, forums, wiki all die, login server down on the most busiest day, just more to add to the list.

Wurm is targeted by hackers then random knobheads are posting "The sky is falling" posts on mmorpg.com?

Whois and tracert both report the site at hostways cloud services?
