I have the latest launcher. It worked fine last night. Today, it starts up, then stops at "Loading Versions" and will not let me play. The links still work, so it is responsive, it just seems to be stuck. I left it trying to load for more than an hour. Ideas? (I'm not a computer wiz, so go easy on me.)

I have the exact same problem
I hope it is a bug that they will soon fix.
