I can't start the game.
So I have everything I need to start. (I believe.) But it just won't. It says "Java Installation Not Completed" which is untrue, because I followed the link on your page on how to install it. It then says "Unable to install Java", which I thought was already done...It then says "There are errors in the following switches: "C:\Users\angry\Downloads\autohaven.jar";. Check that the commands are valid and try again." One thing I would like to mention is that I am running a Windows 10 PC so that shouldn't be the problem. And another final thing to note is that following "autohaven.jar";" I am unaware to discern if it is "autohaven.jar";, with a comma or "autohaven.jar";. with a period. I appreciate you reading this and hope a answer soon. Thank you and have a nice day.

Re: I can't start the game.
Probably first of all you should try uninstalling any previous installations of Java using Windows' "Settings - System - Apps & Features"
and then get latest Java 8 SE Runtime Environment for Windows x64 from here: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java ... 33155.html,
jre-8u241-windows-x64.exe

Re: I can't start the game.
So I managed to install the version of Java. But I have no inkling as to what to do with it. I appreciate you answering and would like to ask for another. Thank you. And have a nice day.

Re: I can't start the game.
If you still need any help, please try running
java -version
in your Command Prompt (cmd.exe) and post result here
Then try running autohaven.jar and post screenshot of errors in case you get any

Re: I can't start the game.
This is getting to be very difficult for myself, and I apologize. I am not very PC savvy and all of this stuff is complicated. Is there a walkthrough that describes the process from start to finish?

Re: I can't start the game.
I am curious what "it" is that says these things. To be sure, there are no such messages in the client itself. It would be helpful if you could provide some more context and details (and/or screenshots) with regards to what is actually happening.angrykicker wrote:It says "Java Installation Not Completed" which is untrue, because I followed the link on your page on how to install it.

What are you "following"? In what situation is this a question that matters?angrykicker wrote:And another final thing to note is that following "autohaven.jar";" I am unaware to discern if it is "autohaven.jar";, with a comma or "autohaven.jar";. with a period.

Re: I can't start the game.
I unfortunately do not know how to screenshot on Windows as I have just gotten it recently. And I have no clue as to how to start or finish. I think I do, just to be wrong.loftar wrote:I am curious what "it" is that says these things. To be sure, there are no such messages in the client itself.

What I meant by "following" is "after" so after. So think of it like replacing after with following. And I meant that since I don''t know if it was a comma or period. I thought someone else would shed some light in the event they saw the same message.loftar wrote:What are you "following"?

Windows isn't exactly my forte either, but I do believe that you just press the "Print Screen" key to get a screenshot in your clipboard, which you can then paste in any image editing program (such as MS Paint).angrykicker wrote:I unfortunately do not know how to screenshot on Windows as I have just gotten it recently.
Well, I don't think there are any situations where there should be anything after "autohaven.jar" whatsoever, be it a period or a comma or anything else. What makes you think otherwise?loftar wrote:What I meant by "following" is "after" so after. So think of it like replacing after with following.
