Getting into the game

[emperorwings]

Hello, my fist post. I use sun java web start 1.4.2 and when I click the play button it downloads then I get a message Warning: Failed to verify the authenticity of this certificate because there was an error parsing the certificate. No assertions can be made of the origin or validity of the code. Installing and running this code is not allowed. Then I click exit and thats abotu as far as I get. Any help as to what I could do about this.

Make sure your system time is correct. Funky stuff happens if the date on your computer is inaccurate.

or update to 1.6

Thanks for the fast replys. My time is correct and I am running off of 1.6 sun java. It just says 1.4.2 when I try to run the game. Any way I could trick it into thinking it's a valid security certificate or a way it can let me run it?

I solved my problem, just in case anyone else has it.

Q:
I get a Security Warning: "Warning: Failed to verify the authenticity of this certificate because there was an error parsing the certificate...." What's wrong?
A:
This generally happens when you have an old version of Java 1.4.2 installed on your system, possibly alongside a newer version of Java. Shared Shell uses a production Sun/Verisign certificate, but this root certificate and chain is only supported in Java 1.4.2_06 and newer. Note that this may be true even if you check our "Verify your Java installation" link and it shows an up-to-date version of Java. This is because the Sun installer for Java allows multiple versions of the SDK and Runtime to be installed at the same time.
The best solution is to remove older/unused versions of Java. On Windows, use Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs and remove all but the most recent version of Java. On other platforms, this is typically configured through your PATH or environment settings. On Solaris, make sure your /usr/java symbolic link points to the most recent version of Java you have installed.

So, in other words just use java 1.6 and remove all previouse versions.

I think this thred can be locked or w/e as sun java helped solve my problem.

Welcome to the game, then. Read the forums, of course, but feel free to ask if you have any difficulties. The initial learning curve on this puppy is pretty harsh, but its worth it once you make it.

Thanks but I got another problem of the game being too slow. Probly to do with java again. Takes about 15 second to move, equpit stuff, do anything etc.

I lost. Also, you should check and see what certificates your computer allows, see if Haven and Hearth's one isn't on there.
