The game does not start Reply to this Post
Reply with Quote
Hello, I followed all the steps to make sure that the game will work correctly but as soon as it loads I'm getting a window with the message that Java(TM) Platform SE binary has stopped working and the game does not start. I've uninstalled bang howdy, installed latest java version and re-installed it but I still get this message. Please help. Thanks.

That sounds like a Macintosh. Solution: switch to a PC, they never have this problem. :D

You'll want to uninstall both Bang! Howdy and the Java you have installed. Then check to see if you have a 32bit or 64bit Windows 7, then install the same bit Java from www.java.com.

If it does appear to be the correct one, uninstall it anyway and reinstall it after it has been removed.

If this doesn't solve it. See if you can launch it via the web launch:
http://www.banghowdy.com/launch.html

Or if that was what you were doing already, try and download the client and see if that will run:
http://www.banghowdy.com/download.html

Normal Intel chipsets are bearly enough to play B!H. Intel chipsets are an everyday use sort of thing. You might want get a new Videocard.

Anywho, the whole java error could be the binary it points to, but to be safe, try installing the JRE (java runtime environment).
