Posted July 18, 2017 As title says Unable to Launch Client after Java Update (Version 8 Update 141) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 18, 2017 Are you getting an error message? Are you launching from a shortcut or from the website? You can try javaws -viewer and delete the wurm entries and download again from the website. If you are trying the unstable client, be sure that Experimental packs is not checked. Please post any error messages you receive. Also let us know what operating system you are using. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 18, 2017 Error is 'could not verify signing in resource' Launched from client on my desktop Tired deleting entries via javaws -viewer and downloading again. Uninstalled java and reinstalled. Windows 7 Ultimate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 18, 2017 Should also add that the game launched prior to update, as in minutes before the update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 18, 2017 See if anything in this post helps you? After clearing your temp files and deleting the shortcuts, try rebooting your computer before attempting to click on Play on the web site. If none of that works let me know and I'll see if a client dev can take a look over here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 18, 2017 It also looks as if this player had the same issue and reverted his java to the previous version: https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/156131-java-unable-to-launch-launcher/&do=findComment&comment=1599506 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 18, 2017 I was running java 8 already, just installed the latest update and I also tried everything in Enki's thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 18, 2017 Same here. Java update now can't launch Wurm stable/unstable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) I've tried the instructions from the included link from years ago deleting everything in the Java settings and still not working. For testing (probably dumb idea now) I updated java on another computer and now it can't load Wurm Online on 2nd PC now either.

Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) same issue here cleared the cache and tried reinstalling java, still not working Edited July 19, 2017 by Worksock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 19, 2017 I found the Java 8 131 update 64bit at this site. Uninstalled the new version then installed this one. Wurm is working fine again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) I got same problem on Windows 10 computer. Am gonna plan on reverting java back. Maybe later. Let you guys fix this maybe. Good luck. TeeeBOMB PS: now a days, I hate updating Java. PPS: So.. is everyone having this same problem? Or are some people playing WurmOnline after this Java update? Is it only 3 or 4 of us? Problem Kids. Would be nice to know if someone is getting normal Wurm Online operation after updating this Java thing. Edited July 19, 2017 by TeeeBOMB add PPS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 19, 2017 Reverted back to an older Java, worked fine to begin with, computer froze up and had uniform green pixel pattern across my screen, not sure if it is related due to a recent graphics card change but i'll post if it happens again with my old graphics card.

Posted July 19, 2017 Oh come on. Nothing new here. Nobody else is having any issues with this? Has any of the developers tried updating their systems to the new Java? Does everyone have to revert to old java to play Wurm Online? Would sure be nice (at this point) to see some update to this issue. Something. You know? Thanks :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Uninstalled newest java update fixes Wurm. I updated to Java Version 8 Update 141 as per nagging update your java popup had been telling me to for several hours. Once I did that, I fiddled w/ the shortcut to make my old Wurm Online point to the correct Java folder. But then Wurm would not work. My desk top icon would not work. I double checked it pointed to the correct Java folder. So then I tried the Javaws -viewer thing and deleted all wurm entries. Went to Wurm main page and clicked 'Play'. But I kept getting pop up said unable to something (locate? connect, dang sorry not sure... but it was sure unable to do something. And I was unable to play Wurm). So then I installed the older version of Java (Java 8 131 update 64bit << thanks Nicedreams (I was so hoping this was not a virus)). Same set up unable to play Wurm pop ups. So then I uninstalled the newer version of Java (Version 8 Update 141). ... and BAM. Now I can go to Wurm Online main page click 'Play' and it loaded up Wurm and put a nice shortcut icon on my desktop. Gosh. I sure hope you guys can fix your game to work w/ the newer update to Java. Aren't these Java updates to add security and whatnot? Reverting back to older versions of Java sounds patently 'not good' to me. On the other hand, since it appears to be the only way for me to play Wurm Online, it is my only option. I got some cows need grooming. Thanks for your time.

Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) EDIT: won't work as a simple download from below, it needs an Oracle account now :S Still accessible if you don't mind to create an account with them though... I would HIGHLY recommend to use a source from Oracle to download the older Java version if you need to, and not from uncontrolled repositories. The 8u131 64bit Windows Java is at the following official link: http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/jdk/8u131-b11/d54c1d3a095b4ff2b6607d096fa80163/jre-8u131-windows-x64.exe Edited July 19, 2017 by Jaz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have to make an account at Oracle to be able to download it but it's the only solution so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) I get the same error on win10, my friends installed Wurm on their laptop with win8 and - it does not work with Java 8 update 141 either. I think the only people who keep playing are the ones who do not update java. Edited July 19, 2017 by Ulfhrafn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 19, 2017 I also got this error last night after updating to Java 1.4.1. I uninstalled the update, reinstalled 1.3.1, and Wurm works again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
