Registered for the game, tried to play, Java logo came up, then this:

Small five-ten second gap, then it comes up again. Then standard application failed window. Did a little looking yesterday, and found something similar, said to try redownloading Java. Done that three times, still same error.

Any ideas?

Not obvious. Since it happens before the Haven client actually starts, it's obviously an error in the local configuration of your Java installation, but it isn't as clear just what might be the matter. Seeing how it seems to be "java.net.SocksSocketImpl" that is calling into the failing code, could it be that you have some weird proxy server settings?

Huh. You were right. I had firefox set to auto detect. Turned it to none, it works. Odd, because we aren't set up to use a proxy. Downloading now, thanks
