[eudorineu423]

is it possible? Is there any client that would allow one to play this game on ubuntu 16 for example?

Loftar develop on linux and client is in java. It should run on linux.

[eudorineu423]

I got the original client and it opens it with a browser but I only see some lines of text (looks like html)

Do you have java installed? open it with java

[Fierce_Deity]

If it can run the right version of java, it can run haven. Since java is a virtual machine/computer. The operating system should not matter if you can put java on it.

[MagicManICT]

I can state for a fact that this will run on most flavors of Linux as long as A) you have the proper version of Java installed, and B) You have drivers supporting OpenGL 2.x or newer. (Some flavors lack one or the other.)

The proper version of Java: Java Standard Edition 1.7.xxx or newer (Won't run on Micro Edition--ie phones and embedded systems).

You may have a configuration problem. Make sure that the autohaven.jnlp file is opened with Java Web Start--javaws.exe. Make sure that Java is enabled in the browser (generally a security no-no, but needed to run Haven or other web-based Java applications).

For example custom client:

viewtopic.php?f=49&t=40400

Have explaination how to run it on different OS.

Install java. Loftar uses nothing but Linux.

[Fierce_Deity]

If it can run java, it can run haven. Some phones that can download java can run haven, although the performance is bad.

Code: Select all

java -version

(in terminal)
it should give input something like this:

Code: Select all

java version "1.8.0_161"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_161-b12)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.161-b12, mixed mode)

Most of Linux distros coming with OpenJDK, i didnt wanted to fuck with it and just removed it and installed Java 8 from Oracle website.

About running client
For example ember coming with run.sh script to run his client.
All you need is give permission to run it as program

Code: Select all

chmod +x /path/to/yourscript/run.sh

and then

Code: Select all

/path/to/yourscript/run.sh

to run it xD
But I'm doing a little differently:

Code: Select all

cd ./Hafen/

I have installed Amber in Hafen directory which is in my Home directory
and then

Code: Select all

sh run.sh

while you are in that directory.

For people like me who using double GPU laptop: edit run.sh with just adding

Code: Select all

primusrun

(For nvidia, for amd i dont know lol) before

Code: Select all

java -Djogl.disable.opengles=true -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -jar hafen.jar -U https://game.havenandhearth.com/hres/ game.havenandhearth.com

but only if you are using Bumblebee.
I am playing Hafen on Fedora and it working just perfect on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M

I know its necro post, but I did not find almost any help on the forum about running Hafen on Linux (especially for beginners)
I dont claim to be a Linux guru etc. Thanks xD
