Work in Progress

In this post i'm trying to show you what happens when using the default client (Play Button) assuming you're opening it with "Java Web Start Launcher" which is the usual way to run jnlp files (I use the shortform "Java" for Java Runtime and Java Virtual Machine here)

1. you click and it offers you a file called autohaven.jnlp - Java stores it in it's Cache and uses this "steering instructions" to go on - beside some settings it also tells Java what else to download and store in Java Cache (marked in blue) and get more "instructions" from jnlp files

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

As the Codelanguage Loftar uses for programming the game is C the Jogl and Gluegen libaries (tools) are needed to "connect" (bind) with Java Code of client and with the OS

Problem:

every time i try to play it says...
"your security settings have blocked a self-signed application from running"

Solution:
It's Java security settings blocking

Open your Java Control Panel (javacpl.exe) -> Security (Sicherheit) Tab

leave on high - edit (bearbeite) sitelist -> put in

Code: Select all

Note for linux users:
Use the jcontrol program to open this control panel to add exceptions.

so i have been trying to get back into haven and hearth for some time and everytime i try to play a download comes up as (autohaven) and it will not let me play the game i then download this file and then it asks i open it in a specail way (mind you i am using a windows 8 laptop so everything is screwy) and then the game refuses to open or even start up anyone know how to fix this issue?

install Java -DL urls here: http://www.havenandhearth.com/forum/vie ... 86#p359412

Change Java Security Settings -> see post above !mark the browser checkbox for default client!

click Play Button - choose "Open with Java Web Start Launcher" from dropdown menue

(alternative way would be to perform a search for javaws.exe on your Windows 8 to get the path and use it to open autohaven.jnlp)

[Miya]

hello, I just downloaded this game but the java application won´t load. Is there anything I can do to fix that?
btw sorry if you dont get what i mean cus i am not very good with these technical stuff.
:/

[borka]

Miya - thanks for using this thread right away!

Please read the post above yours - if you have uptodate Java (7u71) installed:

click Play Button - choose "Open with Java Web Start Launcher" from dropdown menue

That's the "normal" way to start (not save but Open with)

alternative way would be to perform a search for javaws.exe on your Windows to get the path and use it to open the downloaded autohaven.jnlp

right click autohaven - choose "run with or open with" go to the location of javaws.exe (i.e. C:\Programme\Java\jre7\bin\javaws.exe)

this only works when this is checked
