Having trouble with the game downloading

Postby Azalia » Thu Dec 04, 2014 2:42 am

Hi, It might just be my computer that's doing this, but I decided to try the game out and clicked the play button. When it downloaded I clicked on the little tab at the bottom of the screen, then it asked me how I would like to open the file. I have no Idea what to do xD.

It says I can use Internet explorer to open it and a bunch of other things I know can't open a game.

What should I do?

You want to run it with Java Web Start. If that's not on the list of recommended programs, find it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javaws or C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaws (might also be jre 6 etc). If you don't have Java, you can get it here

choose "Open with Java Web Start Launcher" - make security exceptions in Java Control Panel first:
