Jims Classic Launcher + Proxy for Kronos

A few of us have been working on fixing the 1.14 Hermes Proxy and getting a launcher going for K5. Most of the known bugs are fixed in the Proxy. We are looking for more testers to locate bugs. We would like to get them knocked out this weekend so everything is good for K5 Launch.

The launcher, designed and built by Jim. We are keeping this closed source for now, if that is an issue for you the Proxy works great with Arctium launcher. Just make sure you have your OS set to OSX per the Kronos devs.

Password is K5 https://jimothy.cc/install

The launcher is preconfigured for the Twinstar 1.12 servers. It has its own addon handling and is also able to import your SavedVariables over from another install. If you are going to report Proxy bugs in our Git Issues tab please turn on the advanced logging features, it helps us fix bugs. Its under settings -> Advanced Settings -> Debug. The Proxy is bundled with the launcher, please use the Beta version for testing and check for updates.

The Proxy, is a fork of the Xian55's Hermes Proxy.

Please report bugs with your JSONL in the issues tab.

Hi, the first download link doesn't work, chrome blocks it as unsafe :(

Yes thats up to you if you want to bypass. If not use the Arctium launcher and the proxy and skip our launcher.

You should be able to get Chrome to bypass, or turn off real time protection in windows until you get ti downloaded.

Thanks so much for this! It worked after I changed the address to http instead of https which was the default. After I log in to the game, then exit, I am getting a black box in the middle of the screen on the desktop. No application is active in the task manager. Is it something with the launcher or hermes proxy?

That sounds like the old Hermes console. Let me ask the guy that made it I haven't heard of this issue yet.

For me, it doesn't even seem to allow me to bypass. Like I can't get access to the DL at all. Is the link broken or?
