Game won't open

[CHINN]

Hey!

I registered yesterday, installed Java.

when I click on the play button I get a download file on my screen. but when I want to open it (Its opening tro the java app), seems my pc is preventing it to run it. any ideas what i can try to do to make it work?

Strangely, "custom clients" made by various community members seem to generally work better than the "official" client.

I personally use "Purus Pasta" but currently, Ender is the only public client that is actively being maintained.

Use the "beta launcher" -link at the bottom of the first post.

I have same problem. Win10 + last java.
Ender client doesn't help.

Only one solution for me at moment:

1) Win+R->cmd
2) D:\Games\Hafen>java -jar launcher-hafen.jar

Intresting that, if i put this command in *.bat file it doesn't work. Only in CMD.

Same command for original client. Ofc .jar file have another name.

I can't run the game either, someone please help.
I have the latest java installed plus running Win 10. Thanks!
I also tried latest version of Enders, nothing.

I did the same thing on my laptop and the game is running there, no problems the first try with the default client. My laptop is also running Win 10 plus I installed the latest Java.

What Java is the "latest java"? iirc only up to Java 15 is supported by the game, anything after that doesn't work

I don't know anything about programming, sorry. I was just assuming it's the "latest" version. I believe the website said it was Java 8. Thanks for the question.

Latest version of Java 8 should work.

I have a computer that can't run the client. (Official & Ender)
The loading window appears when I run the .jar .


But when the loading window finishes, nothing happens.
No game windows and no bug reports.
I also tried running with CMD but it didn't help.

The strange thing is that I can play on ard-client.
I also know two other friends who have the same problem.
They can also only play with ard-client.
I am very worried that one day when the ard cannot be used due to the version update.

I tried this and it still didn't work for me. My PC always asks to pick what program to open/run the Haven Launcher. I don't really know what program to use. In the past I would just click on the launcher and the game would just run. So I tried choosing the Java application file to run it and I either get the Explorer browser window opening or the Firefox browser window opening and then I get asked if I want to open it or save it and either choice gives me no good result.

But it works perfectly on my laptop.

Thanks sMartins for your suggestion!
