White screen of death & No players

[Scarikas]

I know... Sorry... ._.



Due to my pointless research, I only came down to one answer.


I have to pay thirty dollars just to play this game? My computer under no circumstances will update my video driver unless I pay thirty dollars in real money. What the heck is this?

Since this problem is actually reproducible on your system, it would help more if you could help to debug it so that it can actually be fixed. I'd really appreciate a thread state dump at the point where the screen is white. Producing such information is not entirely trivial, however, so it depends on your computer prowess. Here's the basic procedure:

Download the requisite Jar files to a directory; the necessary ones are:

• http://www.havenandhearth.com/java/haven.jar
• http://www.havenandhearth.com/java/haven-res.jar
• http://www.havenandhearth.com/java/jogl/jogl.jar
• http://www.havenandhearth.com/java/jogl/gluegen-rt.jar

Then, you need to unpack JOGL's DLL files to somewhere the dynlinker can find them -- I'm not sure just how Windows does that, but I think you can just put them in the same directory as the Jar files. The DLL files are inside a pair of other Jar files, but Jar files are just ordinary Zip files, so you should be able to extract them with any Zip program (though on Windows, I imagine that you may need to rename the Jar files to have the .zip extension to be able to open them). On ordinary 32-bit Windows, the Jar files you need to extract DLL files from are the following:

• http://www.havenandhearth.com/java/jogl/gluegen-rt-natives-windows-i586.jar
• http://www.havenandhearth.com/java/jogl/jogl-natives-windows-i586.jar

After that, open a command prompt (I assume that you're a Windows user), go to the directory into which you put the Jar and DLL files, and run the following command:

Code: Select all

java -jar haven.jar sh.seatribe.se

The client should then run normally. Then, when the screen has gone white, focus the command prompt window and press Control+Backslash. Upon doing so, Java should produce the thread state dump. Please post it here.

You're a fool, all drivers are free :3

My mom said 'Driver cards' Cost alot of money and that she doesn't have one, But I'll try downloading all that stuff Loftar said, At least I can play a little while It's going because I 'tried' to update my Driver so many times that My computer crashed and I had to do emergency system recovery... But I guess that's only my fault.

Thanks for trying to help. I'll really try to be more calm. Most forums I go on say that I'm overreactive... I myself think I'm partially mentaly retarded. Thank you! I'll tell you how it goes.



I didn't even have to update! The emergency system recovery fixed it all! Thanks for trying to help, Sorry I was so angry about the little things. When I can't play mah gamez I start to go insane...

It has come back, The white screen has COME BACK. I tried updating but now it won't let me even open the window. Evidentily the person who gave me a link gave me a DOWNGRADE. NOW I shall try what loftar says.

Scarikas, when you get the white screen, just WAIT.

Give it ten minutes. It should eventually load.

PLEASE READ EVERYTHING I SAY

I already told you, I can't open Haven & Hearth at all. I can't OPEN IT.
It gives me a message saying

"NVIDIA display driver files from different (incompatible)
versions of the driver have been detected.

NVIDIA OpenGL acceleration is disabled in order to
maintain system stability.

To resolve this problem, update the NVIDIA display driver.
The latest driver is available at http://www.nvidia.com.
Error code: 5"
READ:

Actually, This window only popped up AFTER I installed this so-called 'latest driver' that it tells me to download in the last paragraph. What the hel is wrong with my PC? And what the hell is wrong with NVIDIA?

[Canaris]

You didn't say that before until now. Not that I can see.

Calm down, dude. Seriously. Take a deep breath, walk away from the computer for awhile, and think about something else.

Then come back to the computer with a cooler head. Cooler heads prevail. Getting mad will only make things worse for you and your computer.

The best option is to rollback your driver to the previous installation configuration and start from there.

Did you reboot after you installed the drivers? If not, that sounds like an installer bug. Try again, perhaps?
