solution:
deinstall 32Bit Java8 (X86) - install 64Bit Java 8 (x64)

get new drivers from Intel - either by detecting

Go to the folder where Amber is located and find the "run.bat". Open it up in Notepad (or another plain text editor) and on a new line at the end, add the command "Pause" and save it. (No punctuation when entering commands.) Could be that it isn't finding Java. Could be that there is a crash and the log is getting closed out before you can see it. The extra command should keep the console window open for you to see any output messages.

Should look something like this:

Code: Select all

start javaw -Xss1024k -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -jar hafen.jar -U https://game.havenandhearth.com/hres/ game.havenandhearth.com
to start.

should look like this (or simply copy paste this and save it as run.bat) after:

Code: Select all

start javaw -Xss1024k -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -jar hafen.jar -U https://game.havenandhearth.com/hres/ game.havenandhearth.com
pause
If you get an error, you can then post it.

You can also try searching your drive for an error log. it should be called "hs_err_pid.log" and should be in the folder amber is in, or in the Java installation location.

Not quite sure about using "start" in run.bat (in order to get error info displayed)
I think i used something like

Code: Select all

java -Xss1024k -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -jar hafen.jar -U https://game.havenandhearth.com/hres/ game.havenandhearth.com
pause

Thanks, not_a_cat. "Start" actually force closes the command window after apps have launched. I just copy pasted from the default batch file, and didn't even think about it before posting.

tried this, when the command console stayed open this is what it showed, C:\Users\calca\Downloads\amber-1.75.0>javaw -Xss1024k -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -jar hafen.jar -U https://game.havenandhearth.com/hres/ game.havenandhearth.com
The system cannot find the file C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath\javaw.exe.

C:\Users\calca\Downloads\amber-1.75.0>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

That's what I thought the problem might be, though there was other possibilities. Before the "java.exe," add the path to find the file. This typically will look like "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_231\bin\java.exe" unless you have installed Java to another location.

You can also set up your Windows system so that it will automatically look for java.exe in a few ways. One is outlined through Java's help: https://www.java.com/en/download/help/path.xml

Looks like we need a client update after this last game update.

delete Gast.class in the hafen.jar
should fix it if you're using an amber-based client
make sure to open hafen.jar with winrar/7zip to see that file.

Is this the same bug as mentioned above, so I basically should just wait until there is an Amber update to fix it?
