Security Issue?

Post by Picklelas »

I want to play Haven and Hearth, but ever since I got an update to my computer, it keeps telling me "Your security settings have blocked a self-signed application from running". I don't know if it's my internet options, Windows 7, or my anti-virus software. But I really want to play this game, and my computer just wont let me! :x Please, if you know the solution to this issue, help!

I had the exact same problem with java 7. Following the "workaround" (see link that follows) section from java's site fixed the problem. Here is the link: https://www.java.com/en/download/help/java_blocked.xml

I added http://www.havenandhearth.com and http://www.havenandhearth.com/portal/ and any other URLs that came up when I tried to start H&H to the exception list in java and that fixed the problem. I can now play using java 7. Good luck!

Details? It's hard to help when we don't know what the issue is. If you're experiencing the same problems as the opening post, have you tried to use the fix for it?

You must configure your java.
In my comp (win Vista) it was:
Start/all programs/java/configure java/Security (tab)/edit site list.
Then You must add adress "http://www.havenandhearth.com" and accept all (run), what java show You.

If you do what the post above me says and go into Configure Java, then turn your security settings to "medium" after that, you have to continue through the warnings you'll receive when starting it up. This worked for me and I had the same problem. Hope it helps! ;)

What AV are you running? Also you should "Open with Java Web Start Launcher" not downloading - and the jnlp can't contain a virus as it's mainly a text (xml) file with instructions - you can open it with notepad to look yourself
(or look here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=37713#p497915 )

Post a screenshot of Virus message please

2 AV running at the same time isn't a good idea (unless one of them isn't a special tool and not a full blown AV)
