Recommended Posts

Hi,


 


Can anyone give me some advice ?


I have uninstalled Java using the cofiguration panel.


Have installed the lates version of java


But when i startup wurm i see it uses te 32bit version and not the 64version


 


How to correct that

I launched Wurm through the cache viewer (Run -> "Javaws -viewer") and didn't get the popup about the bit version so I assume it's in 64 bit mode now. Haven't checked if that fixes the desktop icon but probably not.

I installed 64 bit java and uninstalled 32 bit java. i then had to right click on the Wurm.jlnp file and chose open with> javaws and it worked fine after that but had to delete shortcut off desktop as it was referring to the old 32 bit java.

I clicked the option to "run anyway" without downloading the 64 bit java and the game runs fine for me. There is also a little square you can x to not show the warning message again if annoyed by it.

currently, it would seem that google chrome does not offer a 64 bit version.  so you need to use explorer 11 or fire fox  to  use java 64 . I installed  explorer  11 , and then the 64 java and it worked fine.

I had the same issue and fixed it by deleting the wurm folder & then run the setup file again.

I tried the fixes for this 32/64 bit issues I've seen linked here.  Finally thought I had it working (after numerous crashes, failing to launch, etc.) and it STILL was using the 32 bit java (yes, I installed the 64 bit java).  Finally decided to just use the 32 bit since aside from some graphical stuttering the game had been working sorta okay.  But THEN the game wouldn't even launch, or if it did it would crash after hitting "play".  Totally deleted the Wurm folder (uninstalled game), to try and reinstall.  Now, when I hit the "play" but on the homepage to try and install the game I get an error of "Failed to launch application".  Quite frustrating.  Running win 7.  Ideas?  (Aside from just play another game?)

No, I'm using Firefox. And there is also no stable public 64 bit release of Firefox.  Nevertheless the browser has nothing to do with Wurm and what it runs, but trying to configure Wurm to use the 64 bit java has been an exercise in futility and frustration.  I give up.  I just tried installing the game again by hitting the play button on homepage and it seems to be installing now.  Crossing fingers.

To change Windows so it runs Wurm using Java 64 bit instead of Java 32 bit


 


right click file wurmclient.jnlp and choose Properties


where it says "Opens With" it should say "Java â„¢ Web Start Launcher" but this is 32 bit java, hit the change button and browse to the file at C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaws.exe this is the 64 bit version


hit OK button to apply the change


 


Double clicking on wurmclient.jnlp file should now run it using java 64 bit :)

Okay, I might give that a try.  In the meantime I got the game to install and run but I can't remember my password! lol  I don't see how to reset my password for the game anywhere on the launcher screen, or here on the website.  Help?

I have 64 bit Windows 7, I use Google Chrome. Had both versions of Java installed, Wurm would only run in 32 bit. I uninstalled the 32 bit Java, restarted my computer, and now everything works perfectly.
