Posted April 3, 2013 Okay, so I was going to install Wurm. I click the "play" button and the little download begins. It completes almost instantly, and I open it. I see a black box flash on screen and nothing else happens. I'm running chrome and the latest version of java, I even reinstalled java to try and fix it. Any fixes?

Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) I think google chrome ask you if you want to "keep or discard" the file? If it does you have to keep it and find where it was downloaded then open that. It will ask you where to install it and if all goes well you should end up with an icon that you use to launch the game.Edit: Might want to make sure you're running it as administrator and that you are using the right java. I had to use the 64 bit java when i upgraded to Windows 8 because it was closing the launcher when i opened it all the time.

Posted April 4, 2013 I recently had an issue with my laptop. The game installed but when I ran the game, it would immediately shut down. It turned out that my graphics drivers needed to be updated due to recent changes in the game. Once I updated my graphics drivers, I could run the game and I did not have to revert to Java 6 nor did I have to change Wurm's advanced settings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still, black window flashed then nothing happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 4, 2013 Figured it out, I had too many javas installed. Now it's saying (whenever I try to open the downloaded file) "Application Not Found" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 4, 2013 Lol, Grats I still need help w/ getting the install to run Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 4, 2013 best start it once by running the command javaws http://www.wurmonline.com/client/wurmclient.jnlp. Once it has been started for the first time you should have a short cut on the desktop. Otherwise you can create a shortcut from the Java control panel javaws -viewer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 22, 2013 Right click on it and instead of running with java binary SE, run with java web start launcher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 11, 2016 well there isnt actually anything to install you just download the java webstart app and run it if it's not working for you then theres most likely something wrong with your java installation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
