I thought it may be caused by the outdated Unstable Client, so downloaded the latest one 3.1.74-4002.

This time, after double-clicking the MVlJ6.png.

It is able to verify application, have the client start up, all packs updated.

However when I click Play, the client shut down immediately, without any message / notice / crash log at all.

I highly believe the cause of the problem is this: http://www.theverge....va-web-browsers

While there seems to be a solution for the issue (to disable Oracle's Java 7 and re-activate Apple's Java 6) from here: https://discussions....tart=0&tstart=0, I'm a bit uncertain about it still.

Is this the only fix right now?

I have a mac, upgraded to Lion.

Downgraded my java from 7 to 6 and Wurm works again :)

She knows how to disable Java, if you read properly.

I was pointing out this post that allows use of java6 webstart without disabling java7:

I had success calling on OSX 10.8.2 by calling the Java6 version of javaws directly from the terminal like this. Assuming you've downloaded the wurmclient.jnlp to your disk.

Wurm now runs on java7 for mac so you should be fine now.
