to all you Linux users out there... Here is a guide to setting up the correct Java required to play Blood Bowl at fumbbl. The standard Java interpretor(or what these things a known as) is called/based upon OpenJDK... This is the probem... Or at least was for me. After installing the newest version of Sun java the problem has disappeared like a Skaven linerat after about three games Smile. Hope this helps. Of cause its of out most importance to remember to choose the Sun Java as the default Java-thing. If you are running Linux here's a list of the Sun Java packages you need:

Sun-java6-bin

Sun-java6-fonts

Sun-java6-jre

Sun-java6-plugin

And afterwards you'll have to set SunJava to be the default Java... This is done by typing the following command in a terminal:

sudo update-alternatives --config java

and selecting Sun java.

Hope this helps anyone else who has experienced the great sadness of not being able to play Blood Bowl at Fumbbl.

See you on the pitch... And thanks for all the replys.

That may or may not apply to different distros. That's an Ubuntu howto (if I'm not mistaken).

I haven't tried the 64-bit Hardy, but I had the same problem in x86. See truckerpunk's earlier post.

His solution didn't work for me, though... I'm still having to reboot into windows to play

I'm not familiarwith Fedora distro.... Is it SUN java version 1.7? I'm pretty sure you need Sun java installed, and chosen as your java-interpretor.

This is discussed on pages 3 and 4 of this thread. It appears to be an OS-specific issue.
