How can i download the game?

Postby drcptcoop » Wed May 19, 2021 6:54 am

attempted to install on windows 10. repeatedly hit error wall either through windows security or java not recognizing the file name. very computer illiterate so that is a thing. attempted to rename the file but encountered the errors still. i have no idea what i can do differently but this seems very nuanced for just trying to run a game so i dont know if i will keep trying to many more times before i give up.

Split off from the previous thread. It contained outdated information that will only cause further issues.

The file you receive when you click the play button should be named "autohaven-drcptcoop.jar" which should be recognized as a Java app if Java installed correctly. The other possibility is that you have other software that has hijacked the .jar extension. Right click the file you downloaded, select "Open With>Java(TM) Platform SE binary" or "Open With>Choose another app", find Java(TM) Platform SE Binary from the listing, or you may need to browse to where you installed Java and find the file "java.exe".

Delete the file and get a fresh copy via the 'Play' button on the website. It's a small download (about 50kB).

For any other issues, we'll need to know specific errors you're getting, and possibly other information.

autohaven-drcptcoop.jar was blocked because this type of file can harm your device.

Running Windows? Are you in "S Mode"? See this thread: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=71096
