Please explain

I just downloaded the new Shoddy, and I got the classic "Unable to launch application" screen of death.

com.sun.deploy.net.FailedDownloadException: Unable to load resource: http://shoddybattle.com/client/shoddybattle.jnlp

And I'd like a simple explanation, please.

As usual, we unfortunately don't have any magic one-size-fits-all solution to this problem. Try clearing your Java cache, upgrading Java, etc.

I've got the latest version of Java, and I cleared my cache before downloading ShoddyBattle.

It's possible you downloaded in the middle of an update, so clear the cache again.

Alright then, thanks for your help.
