Playing with Windows 8

Post by Stig »

Hello

I recently got myself a new computer with windows 8, and it and now I seem to be unable to start the game. When I klick "Start Game" the message "Hur vill du öpna den här typen utav fil (.jnlp)?" is shown. The message translates to "How do you wish to open this type of file (.jnlp)?". Under the message it say "Sök efter en app i Store" or "Search for an app in Store" and there is also a link that shows programs already on the computer such as Notepad, Internet Explorer, etc. What do I need to do in order to play?

You will need java 7. When the message dialog comes which asks you how you would like to open the jnpl file you will have to select Java web start (javaws.exe) which you can find in your java install folder (most likly programs/java/jre7/bin)
