My Launcher keeps downloading my game

Every Time I go into the launcher it wants to re download my game. does this mean it doesn’t save my data? will my game still be there?

You won’t lose your save data, as that is kept in a different directory, but I recommend you use the core instead, as having to constantly download the same thing again because it’s broken gets annoying.

I have tried using the core, but winzip always pops up and stops me from doing it saying it has expired. do you need winzip to run the core? If so, why doesn’t the launcher?

You can use another alternative like 7zip, winrar, etc… The core has to unzip because it a mess of zipped files you gotta extract. The launcher works differently because it’s a standalone program from what I know.

Ok, I don’t think I have any of those on my laptop, so I will just have to download it on the launcher each time until it gets fixed I guess.
