Configure widows to allow the game to run!?

Postby ezjetmarco » Sat Feb 08, 2014 2:09 pm

Hey there!
I've just made my account and proceeded to download the desktop java file that will run the game. I'm having a small issue though:
I'm logged into my account on the site already and click the play button, yet i am told that windows is blocking the game from running as it came from an external PC/source.
I've gone into "properties" after right-clicking the file and noticed there was a message saying exactly the above; "windows blocking game... blah blah blah... external source." So I clicked the "allow" button and then "apply"

Still having no luck :/ I really hope to start playing soon. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Thanks for your help guys!
Marco.

Your Java is working properly? You checked Java Security Settings?
http://www.havenandhearth.com/forum/vie ... 81#p461879

open Properties again - Link Tab (2cnd) - Serch Target (left button) - check whether it leads to java.exe, javaw.exe or javaws.exe

was it this message? Then you need to check the box at bottom before clicking the Run button

right click - open in new Tab to enlarge (btw. it's german windows )

Use a different client.

This is generally considered the best for newbies.

To get the Atmossphere of HnH i still recommend to do first steps with default client first and then go for a custom client later. Also i think it's better to solve exsisting "problems" first before creating possible new ones ...
