Upon realizing that I accidentally deleted the launcher for Platinum Quest, (not the game files, just the launcher) a while back while freeing up space on my computer, I came here to download a new one. I placed it on my desktop like before, and I have tried to run it several times, but every time I do, the green loading bar gets stuck at halfway. When I first click "Play," there is a smaller load bar that moves faster above a larger one, but about a quarter of the way through, the smaller bar disappears and the larger bar jumps to about half and just stays there. I can still switch the tabs (Console, ChangeLog, Advanced) and am able to hit buttons under the advanced tab, so it's not unresponsive. I tried running the game from directly in its AppData folder, and it had no animated backgrounds or music and was acting rather finicky. Can anyone explain what is happening?

What does it say under the console tab? Also, try going to the Advanced tab and pressing Run Full Update.

Code:
function clientcmd12dothepq() { commandToClient(LocalClientConnection, '34onthedancefloor'); }

Under the console tab, it says
Downloading marbleblast.com/pq/where/yeahboii-2/music.zip ...
Though I have left it like this for a couple hours recently and it never seems to have downloaded. I also tried running a full update, but the update gets stuck, too, unfortunately. Do I just need to wait longer for the music? I don't think it's an issue with my internet, I use wired Ethernet so I almost never lose connection...

Sometimes the downloading can get stuck on longer files. You can try downloading it manually (just open the zip in a browser) and extracting it into your game (Advanced -> Open Game Dir to get to the game files). Or I've heard others have had success eventually after retrying a few times.
