So umm, how do i play?

[Coastis]

I've registered, but when i clicked the play button at the top i'm prompted with a file download box which downloads autohaven, an xml file...?

EDIT :: I should probably mention that i have java 6.15 installed

I've updated java and now when clicking on play button i get a java popup saying...

Splash: recv failed

Any suggestions?

Windows 7 64bit.... i have since managed to get it working. However the major problem now is that i've spent 2 hours walking around the starting place trying to find either a way out or an unclaimed tree. None of which exist. I finally stumbled upon a crossroads marker and randomly picked a place to travel too. Upon arriving at my random place, i find im stuck on a small patch of land by a river with no way to get out.

I mean really, why would you start new players in that hell hole of an area? Do you actually want people to quit? The game looks quite interesting however the starting area needs some serious reworking or its doomed to failure.

It's a hell hole precisely BECAUSE people start there.

Once upon a time, there was an alternate starting area called Novigrad. However, it too became much like the RoB (Main starting area), and has been closed.

My advice is to follow the road east out of the RoB until you hit the forest. Then grind a bit 'till you get wheelmaking, and make a boat to cross the rivers to the west.

I did try and head east following advice in the forum but it seems im blocked off by rivers and claimed property, though i've since found out that its possible to pass such property using the criminal acts so i'll give that a go later. You say to head west once i've mastered boating, i'm presuming there is plenty of free land in that direction so i can find a little patch to call home?

On a different note, i've found out that i can go full screen with :fs 1, however when i use it it does go full screen but nothing renders, i just get a big black screen that i have to close via task manager. Any suggestions on how to get this to work?

Cheers

Ok i've followed the road east from RoB and there is no forest to be found, all i find is that im blocked in by rivers and that there is no trees.

This is without doubt the most frustrating experience i've ever had in a game, there is absolutely no way out of the starting area without using crossroads. Unfortunately i have 100% travel weariness and no means to build myself a bed so im effectively stuck

EDIT: is there a means to delete a char and start again? Or will i be able to kill myself through hunger?

you can always starve him or go for a swim

Well shit. There was a plentiful forest there when I started. Good luck?
