Won't let me play D:

I made a account, logged in, clicked play.
It told me to update my Java which I did but now when I click play it downloads, and its a blank white file.

Push play Button and choose "Open with Java Web Start Launcher" in dropdownmenu

Same problem here. Just got a macbook. OS X. Java 8. I read through these forums a bit and then added this website to my site exception list. I even removed the jdk. I don't know how to find files or edit them to have different endings. I don't understand what run.bat even is. Seems to me that those who wish to play this game on their macs with java 8 must be computer savvy and able to manipulate files and such. I even tried rolling back to java six. Didn't work. I did manage to at least get it to run but this solid white box opens up and I can hear the character creation / enter world music begin to play. I can hear it, but cannot see a thing. Even the mouse disappears when I mouse over the white box. I am so sad.

In Java Security exceptions there must be both

If you want to use the default client you'll need to have enabled Java for your Browser in JCP (but leave it disabled in Browser settings) otherwise you won't get a prompt to choose the Java Web Start Launcher for jnlp files. (manually you can open autohaven with javaws in Java\jreX\bin)

The default client (Play Button) doesn't need a run.bat - that is for starting custom clients on Windows, on LInux it's run.sh and on MacOSX it would be run.command - more here:

which would also be the right thread to post if there are more questions about running HnH custom clients on OSX

I also recommend to check if you have the latest updates for your OSX version -> Graphic drivers

(If you bought your MAC in a local store just create a folder called Ender, download the updater.jar into it, run it by doubleclicking - then go to your local store and let them help you with creating a run.command inside Ender folder and help you to run it - with the prices Apple takes there should be some support possible )

Thank you, borka. I'll check out that thread and read all through it. Maybe if I google how to create a run.command inside an Ender folder, I can finally figure this out. Also, I already do have both of those added into my site exception list. I get the prompt Java Web start and tell it to 'run'. Then the Haven and Hearth box pops up that would normally allow me to enter the world or create a character but instead that box is solid white with the sounds playing. Sigh. Okay. Off to read through that thread now.
