Returning Player - Cannot Download Game

Post by lumitory »

I played H&H quite a few years ago and I decided to try it out again out of boredom and curiosity. When I go to click play and download the game it downloads but not as a playable file and instead a JNLP file, that opens with windows.
Does anyone else have the same issue or know whats going on? Thank you <3

What file does it give you? Do you have java? What OS are you using?

Install Java. Be sure to get the 64-bit version for your operating system unless you're running a 32-bit system still (Win XP, Vista, 7, 8).

It downloads as a JNLP file and opens in internet explorer. My laptop restarted a couple weeks ago and I haven't really ran it since, so i'll try redownloading java.

EDIT;; I downloaded java, and tried running through a different browser but it continues the same issue.

Tell windows to open .jnlp with javaw.exe (found in the bin folder where you installed Java)
