Posted August 26, 2015 Hey folks, Been a long time and I'm apparently out of touch with fixing these issues as I once was. OS: Windows 10 64bitJava: Version 8 Update 60 Description:Fresh windows 10 install, clicked on the play button on the main page to download the client. Gotthe wurmclient.jnlp saved to the hard drive and the below pops up as an error when I go to run the application. Tried both the stable and unstable versions. Did a bit of research on the forums here but haven't found this specific error or am mildly blind as it's late in the night. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Error: Unable to load resource: http://www.wurmonline.com/client/wurmclient.jnlp Exception:com.sun.deploy.net.FailedDownloadException: Unable to load resource: http://www.wurmonline.com/client/wurmclient.jnlpat com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.actionDownload(Unknown Source)at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.downloadResource(Unknown Source)at com.sun.deploy.cache.ResourceProviderImpl.getResource(Unknown Source)at com.sun.deploy.cache.ResourceProviderImpl.getResource(Unknown Source)at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.updateFinalLaunchDesc(Unknown Source)at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.prepareToLaunch(Unknown Source)at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.prepareToLaunch(Unknown Source)at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.launch(Unknown Source)at com.sun.javaws.Main.launchApp(Unknown Source)at com.sun.javaws.Main.continueInSecureThread(Unknown Source)at com.sun.javaws.Main.access$000(Unknown Source)at com.sun.javaws.Main$1.run(Unknown Source)at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Wrapped Exception:java.lang.NullPointerExceptionat sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.plainConnect0(Unknown Source)at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection$6.run(Unknown Source)at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection$6.run(Unknown Source)at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)at java.security.AccessController.doPrivilegedWithCombiner(Unknown Source)at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.plainConnect(Unknown Source)at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.connect(Unknown Source)at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream0(Unknown Source)at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.access$200(Unknown Source)at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection$9.run(Unknown Source)at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection$9.run(Unknown Source)at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)at java.security.AccessController.doPrivilegedWithCombiner(Unknown Source)at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(Unknown Source)at com.sun.deploy.net.HttpUtils.followRedirects(Unknown Source)at com.sun.deploy.net.BasicHttpRequest.doRequest(Unknown Source)at com.sun.deploy.net.BasicHttpRequest.doGetRequestEX(Unknown Source)at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.actionDownload(Unknown Source)at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.downloadResource(Unknown Source)at com.sun.deploy.cache.ResourceProviderImpl.getResource(Unknown Source)at com.sun.deploy.cache.ResourceProviderImpl.getResource(Unknown Source)at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.updateFinalLaunchDesc(Unknown Source)at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.prepareToLaunch(Unknown Source)at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.prepareToLaunch(Unknown Source)at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.launch(Unknown Source)at com.sun.javaws.Main.launchApp(Unknown Source)at com.sun.javaws.Main.continueInSecureThread(Unknown Source)at com.sun.javaws.Main.access$000(Unknown Source)at com.sun.javaws.Main$1.run(Unknown Source)at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 26, 2015 Try switching network settings to Direct connection in the Java Control Panel maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Are you running through a military or corporate network?Do you know whether you have a security program named Watchguard installed?In this thread with similar error message he was running the game from a military barracks and the military network had suddenly disallowed some java functions on the network:http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/124958-game-will-not-launch/There are also some links there from similar issues involving the WATCHGUARD security software Maybe one of the devs can also check whether it is the same issue as here: http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/91599-cant-install-wurm/The guy reported it helped to launch using this as the shortcut:javaws -J-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true http://www.wurmonline.com/client/wurmclient.jnlpThis next thread also reported that the same issue was fixed using the same flag preferIPv4Stack=truehttp://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/120290-cant-start-the-game/ Is this a work computer that uses remote access software of any sort?This post (NON-WURM) discusses disabling all the ipv6 on the network devicehttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/17648392/why-do-i-need-java-net-preferipv4stack-true-only-on-some-windows-7-systems I am way over my head so I probably cannot help, it might need someone with networking savvy Hopefully Saroman's solution will turn out to be the fix Edited August 26, 2015 by Brash_Endeavors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 26, 2015 Oddly enough when I was in the military camp I never had a problem for numerous years. However now I did on my home connection, wasn't a watchguard issue but changing it to direct connection via Saroman's reccomendation it worked out fine. Thank you again folks!
