If you're using Windows, adding this argument in your run.bat should help:
java.exe -Xms256m -Xmx512m -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -jar haven.jar moltke.seatribe.se

@olgeigracexD
you might give explanations of what that arguments are supposed to do:
Turns off the Java 2D system's use of DirectDraw and Direct3D completely

@OP
Better try with a big resized window...

With this argument content of window at final stage is rendered on screen by GDI instead of DirectDraw.
