^ that sounds like an issue with the cache because afaik PI does not have an update server and the login message does not say retrying.

my bad the error they are getting is "requesting title screen"

yes I implemented the auto cache downloader myself, could I get some help resolving this issue?

ye sure where does the auto cache downloader store the cache ? does it fetch it from your machine or online, and if so where does it store and load it (are the paths relative to your folders ?)

It stores it in C drive, and it fetches it online from a mediafire link. How do I check where it loads it from?

EDIT:

Also this url: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
is not a direct url. You need the url which immediately fires the download.

Whenever I open the link it automatically downloads though.

I identified the problem but I dont know how to fix it. So there is something wrong with the auto cache downloader, for some reason it doesnt unpack the cache in the C: folder. When I instead sent the cache to my friend and unpacked it in a map in the c: folder and they tried running the JAR file they could connect without any problems. Before when the cache wasnt manually downloaded they get the error message "requesting title screen" because the cache wasn't being downloaded/unpacked. That link is a direct link though because it does automatically download whenever I open it.

Ohh I see! Problem solved now, thx!

From experience, mediafire URLs "expire" after 24 hours.
The link above is no longer valid and the client will no longer download the cache afaik.
