Unable to start client

But at me works the no opengl mode

Same problem, play and "no opengl" give the same error in firefox and chrome. Java is up to date ect.

It might work for some because they have some old data in their cache or temp folders. (Not sure which ones)

Yeah I think I am having a similar problem with dave. There is a popup saying there is a security issue. I got it to work the first time. Now its just not loading.

Edit: When the security thing pops up if you click the x in the corner then the client loads.

I was able to log in just fine. I cleared my cache and when the question box appeared I clicked "yes" to block unsigned code and it still seemed to log me in just fine.

cant access at all from my ubuntu laptop and on a win-vista desktop at my girlfriends house it fails with opengl (told to run code like how aois worked), and i can get no-opengl to open, but the interface is unuseable.

part of the no-opengl errors are:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-2" java.lang.NullPointerException
at GUI.Desktop.paintComponent(Desktop.java:22)

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-2" java.lang.NullPointerException
at GUI.Desktop.paintComponent(Desktop.java:22)

and the end of the error for the opengl is:
Aug 22, 2010 11:07:23 PM org.jdesktop.applet.util.JNLPAppletLauncher displayError
SEVERE: java.io.IOException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: White spaces are required between publicId and systemId.

also noticed in a few of my other attempts a line was near the top of the logs. maybe a typo in a filename for the launcher or something? just an idea :/

EDIT!!!!!

i just noticed that all the images loaded for the game were the same size and kicked one into notepad. its a Contact Support page for hostgator because "The website you are trying to view is currently experiencing difficulties, please try again later."

same problem. java on
AMD Phenom II X4 925 2.8GHz with 8 gigs of ram
windows 7 64 bit up to date version of java.
It's not you bro.

Sounds like the admins have a little bit trouble with the servers involved in HW.

To the guys who wonder about the security question: HW requires a few rights on your computer to work (writing data (the images) on your HD outside of the java sandbox, and to initiate a connection to the server etc.). There are three ways to handle that:
1. stick inside of the java sandbox, never require additional rights - which was not used here
2. get a valid certificate from a trusted source to tell the user that the can be trusted. That costs money and is not feasible for an indie product
3. self sign it. That way HW gets the rights, but only after the user approved the certificate. In a real world would you trust somebody who says: "Hi I have to do something in your house, here is my own self made certificate that says I can do so." Your browser cannot trust such certificates and that's why it asks the user.
Every time the HW client is updated it gets a new certificate (those are free anyway). So that security question is often a hint that the client was updated.

:(
And I tried every thing too. Butit still dont work...

i keep getting this error, when i press no to block, and if i press yes to block, it just throws another... anyways here's the error:

might also be cause i'm at my school atm, but the login app use to work, and that's the one bugging
i have cleared my cache etc. etc. before posting this

Hey guys,
Sorry for the delay in responding, I've been a bit busy moving back to school and getting ready for classes starting. I'm currently looking into the issue, which I think has something to do with the server hosting the jar. Hopefully this issue will be resolved soon. Thanks for your patience.

it's good to know you are on it TTJ, hopefully we'll see some results soon then ☺

Hey guys, the client issues might be sorta/kinda/maybe resolved ... if you use the "Play No Opengl" page. We're still working on it, and hopefully things will be fully back to normal soon.

thx i can play again.

i cant hack i heve that warning and then noting

if i click on opengl ok i login ok but then i heve an withe screen and i cant do noting man ???

Did you try the solution suggested here: http://www.hackwars.net/node/909#comment-2710 while playing the No OpengGL version of the game?

i cant i use win 7 sorry i ame just an kid so i dont know it in win 7

Just find out where windows 7 stores your temp files. That should be as easy as doing a google search or running a file search for one of the file names listed in the zip file. After you figure out where the temp files are stored it will be the exact same process of transferring the files over to the temp folder.

ok

wooooot thanks man i can fineley play hw again thanks!!
