Hello I am retarded (game doesn't start)

[Rharsuth]

Hey everyone, I'm a old haven player that wanted to start again, but whenever I start the game I get a error message, says something like "application can't run" or something like that. I tried searching teh forum, but I got really confused with the search engine.

Is this a problem anyone else have had? Should I provide the error message details?

[borka]

provide error message pls, also what OS, 32 or 64Bit ? What Java version 32 or 64 Bit? Did you try Ender client?

[Rharsuth]

This is what it says. I have no idea what it means haha!

I run windowns 7 64bit

I don't know what java version I run, but other things that needs it have been working I'll check the java version just for saftey measures. Would be typical of me to do somethign like that wrong haha!

It had login authentification data in it

Also it's the content of autohaven.jnlp not error message ... do following: click play button - in appearing window choose "open" with Java Web Start Launcher

[Rharsuth]

That's what I'm doing. When it's been running for about 10 seconds I get a message saying it can't run it, and when I press "details" I get the info that I just posted. There is also another tab called "exceptions" that supposedly contains more information, but I don't know what it means either

normally when you clicked the "Play" button a windows appears and asks how to handle the file "autohaven" - you open it with "Java Web Start Launcher" - it gets downloaded and another Java window appears telling you the application is getting downloaded, it might take a while but when finnished it starts HnH game...


I suggest to try the Ender client (which allows fullscreen beside a lot of other goodies):
http://odditown.taggedup.com/ender/HnH_Ender_x64.zip

then DL the latest update and extract into Ender folder by overwriting existing files:
http://odditown.taggedup.com/ender/update.zip

get the automatic updater and extract to Ender folder too:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18779594/HnH/HnH_Updater.7z

now go to Ender folder and edit the run.bat so that it gets the path to where Java is installed and also runs the updater at start, the "pause" keeps the windows CMD window open to check for error messages - prolly like this:

Code: Select all

.\updater\HnH_updater.exe
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xms256m -Xmx512m -jar haven.jar moltke.seatribe.se -r ./res
pause

now go to "Start" -> "Run" and choose that run.bat and run it
