Let's assume you're on windows and clicked the play button and saved the offered file to your download folder
the file is called autohaven.jar
.jar files are run by Java
so if you right click autohaven.jar you can choose what to open it with - "Open with " - here you choose Java(TM) Platform SE binary
i.e. C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_231\bin - java.exe or javaw.exe
now the needed files for the Haven Launcher get downloaded and saved at
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Haven Launcher
while playing res (images of all stuff) and map files go to
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Haven and Hearth\data
for a desktop shortcut you may create a batch file using notepad.exe - i.e.
- Code: Select all
start javaw -Xss1024k -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -jar autohaven.jar
***or
- Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_231\bin\javaw.exe" -Xss1024k -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -jar autohaven.jar
make sure to save it as autohaven.
bat and in the same location as autohaven.jar
***set java in your windows environment
https://javatutorial.net/set-java-home-windows-10now you do a desktop shortcut pointing to the autohaven.bat
i.e.
target: C:\Users\Username\Downloads\autohaven.bat
run in: C:\Users\Username\Downloads
be aware that when you update java you'd have to edit either the bat file or the environment settings to reflect new path and version name
