H&H crashing on Windows 8.

[qurkey]

Greetings. I am trying to install this game, and have run into problems. Upon downloading and running the jar, an unhandled exception error pops up. I tried running the jar from the CMD, and here's the error that was thrown back:

Code: Select all

Upon inspection, i found that a file or library (can't tell which one) was acting up, as shown here:

Code: Select all

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/media/opengl/GL
Canvas

I am not too sure as to how these files work, as i am not too skilled in this area, and my friend's native environment is Linux, we are both quite new to Windows 8.

Specs:

Windows 8 x64 bit operating system

16GB RAM

Nvidia G-Force GT 630

Intel 3.4Ghz dual core.

That should be all you need, if you need more though just ask and i will provide the information.

Thankyou!

Make sure your Java is updated and working!

While i'm normally not recommending to use a custom client as a beginner ("steals" Atmosphere) i guess you'd better try with Ender
https://github.com/EnderWiggin/haven-up ... pdater.jar

create a folder, drop updater.jar into and run by doubleclicking
after all files needed got downloaded the client starts - when Java security blocks it:

you then need to create a run.bat so you don't need to run updater.jar to start the client
