It was working yesterday (1st day playing) and now it won't today. I have no idea what all the mumbo jumbo is in the console window, so that didn't help me. I can log in to the website and to the game client just fine. Running on mac OS here.

thanks!

You're getting a message about the game client being out of date Speedealer?

That gives me a chance to try out a fix.. gimme 20 mins to modify the lobby..

actually, if you're in a hurry you don't need to wait.

Just delete the darkwind .app file from the game folder. Then restart the lobby. Let me know if it works as that tells me if my fix will work.

thanks..

you mean delete DarkwindOSXClientPPC.app.zip from the game engine folder?

If so, that didn't work.

here's the error message: The jar file "darkwindLobby.jar" couldn't be launched. Check the Console for possible error messages

No, what I meant was delete DarkwindOSXClientPPC.app

But I didn't realise it was the lobby.jar that wouldn't work. That is strange! Was there anything in the console window? Could you post it here perhaps?

tried a restart of computer - no luck.

I attached the console since I don't know what info in there may be of use and it's so long.

thanks

It sounds like your computer has decided not to execute .jar files for some reason- maybe some security setting changed?

I saw you in the combat though.. did you manage that by running the .app directly?

oh yeah, the app works fine so it's not a biggie. It might be a security thing then. I'll check it out when I play at home later and see how it works.
thanks!

The only problem with running the .app directly is that your patching won't work fully: you will be stuck the next time the game engine is updated, since it's the lobby.jar that patches that...

ok, I think I figured it out. Either: 1. I put a link in my dashboard and moved the folder so it wasn't linked anymore.
or 2. I replaced the darkwindLobby.jar from the zipped DL and it now works.

Either way, I'm up and running

The bug caught me by surprise today... I never experienced it before. It seems it happened yesterday, with the java not launching properly. It worked in the end though.
Today it was launching but never worked more than displaying icon in the dock.

Current tip: replace current darkwindLobby.jar with another one.
Bug is under tracking and will be solved shortly.
Thanks.
