How do I download this godforsaken thing?

Postby ResidentSnipeFish » Fri Jul 22, 2016 9:33 pm

So when I click the big "Play" icon at the top of the page, a file is installed on my computer named "autohaven". I dunno what the hell to do with it, as it's just labeled as "File". There's no program I can open it with, nothing I can really do except look at it and be sad that I'm not playing this game. Please help me.

Guess you have to enable Java in Browser you're using as Standard by Java Command Panel -> Extended Tab -> third Block from Top

then right click on autohaven and choose "Open with Java Web Start Launcher"

if you're not wanting to have Java plugin enabled in browser because of security risk you might check

viewforum.php?f=49

for a custom client like Amber residing on your PC that starts Java and the client with a run.bat by cmd.exe

Probably sound like an idiot, but I was unable to find any of that.
