Launcher "The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable"

Hey friends, haven't played MBII in a good few years and I wanna get into it again after stumbling on a video, but the launcher gives me the "The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable", and clicking on install does nothing. I extracted it to my GameData file in JK:JA folder in steam and got this error, and I tried doing it just outside but same dice. Not sure what to do, looked up videos and searched the forum and only found one post that no one had responded to with this error. Any assistance would be appreciated :)

Here's what I'm seeing on Launch

When I pull up Settings; I enabled logging and Steam integration (tried with and without Steam Integration)

When you did this part - which browser did you use? Did it auto-upgrade to https?

Can you try the same link Internet Explorer?

Can you also please try the beta launcher?
Did not auto-upgrade to https; I just tried Microsoft Edge (don't have internet explorer) and I got the same thing.

Where's the beta launcher? Can't seem to find it

Found the beta launcher, this is what I got :/

It can pull up the game, but will crash after I click on yes at the tutorial
1639893425977.png

If I click NO at the tutorial, I can get as far as loading the map for a server, then it crashes with no error or anything. Launcher still says the same thing as before

I found a solution that worked for me. It's embarrassing that I didn't think of this earlier but I just uninstalled Jedi Academy via steam. It redownloaded and the mod is working now. XD
