Game won't start

[rhadiel]

Hello,
I have just created an account, pressed the big red PLAY button, downloaded the Java "autohaven.jnlp" file but after download I get this error:


P.S. i`m using Chrome browser... might this be the cause?

Thanks!

If you're running the file directly off your computer (Meaning you downloaded the client itself to your java cache from this link. I doubt your browser is the problem.

And err:

   This is a Java Web Start file. If you are reading this text,
   it most likely means that you have not installed Java, which

That might be the problem.

Blaze,

When I press the PLAY button in the website's header, the file downloads automatically after I provide login credentials.

Tried with Chrome, IE7 and Firefox 3.5x.

Any suggestions will be welcomed

[Blaze]

Okay, I'll say it plainly:

"You HAVE installed Java, right?"

If you have either:
1. Something on your machine is preventing the game from writing into your JWS cache.
2. The client isn't installed where it should be.
3. The download was corrupted, which I doubt.

[rhadiel]

Hehe yes, I DO have Java installed.


And about your first point, I have checked all browsers and nothing blocks Java...

[Blaze]

Type in "Javaws" in your "Run" box (or it's equivalent) and hit enter. Your Java Application Cache should pop-up confirming that you do indeed have H&H completely installed. For some reason your computer can't A. Find it, B. Load it, or C. Can't allocate the RAM for it.

What are your system specs?

[rhadiel]

The JWS popup does indeed appear. Must be something screwed with my Java.


Thanks for the tips, will try at home.

This is the real error. I cannot immediately tell what causes it, though; it looks really weird and I haven't seen anything like it before. Judging the causing class name "DeployProxySelector" being called from the HTTP client code, there might be something messed up with your proxy settings. Java has its own control panel program in Windows where you can set the Java-specific proxy settings, so you may want to check it out.

I had the same problem. My firewall didn't allow javaw.exe access to the internet.
