How do I download/start the game?

Postby DoctorTauMuMu » Tue Nov 12, 2019 10:29 pm

I clicked the "Play" and it downloaded a file called "autohaven" type JAR.
Any instructions?

You just click it to launch the client.

I would recommend a modified client though that will give you more options and quality of life features that's more suitable for a beginner, like the Amber client.

You need to have Java installed ... which runs JAR files

First, download it.
Then make sure that you have java 8 in use.
Execute
Code: Select all
java -jar autohaven.jar

in the directory that you downloaded it to.

I tried multiple times, downloaded Java and opened Haven with Java. A tab opens but immediately closes.

What is your system? What package of java is installed? Game is currently having trouble with Java 11.
Try uninstall java, install java 8, and run this client: viewtopic.php?f=49&t=40400

Do you have a stand alone graphics card? If not then you probably won't be able to run it no matter what

Please see our thread about Java crashes: viewtopic.php?f=47&t=44631#p579646 Without the log file loftar mentions in that post, we can't really give you any direct advice, and the suggestions for one of the modded clients may or may not help, most likely not.
