When I try to run a game, it launches correctly, until I get to the credits screen, then the client freezes and I am not able to seperate the client screen from the field.
Also chat says Java needs to be installed even though it is already installed.
Any suggestions? |

There is an update to java which I have not done. Maybe you updated it and it's screwing things up? |

I updated a day or two ago too and now I have to press 'run' every time I launch the client but apart from that everything works. |

They sure love to prompt user for approval.
It asks for verification if you really really want to run this program certified by this person. Every single time.
Tried fooling around with few settings, but didn't find anything that would make a difference. |

I've now updated to latest and it's being blocked by my security settings  |

change your security settings. get rid of that mallware you call a firewall. That would be my suggestion.  |

Yeh same for me - that and that I can´t join the chat any longer..
I think you should go though your security settings and allow Java to run.
Likely to be the issue |

I had to change security settings in IE and everything is back in function since then. |

Morning everyone. I generally play on a work laptop which has java 6 and on which I do not have admin rights and therefore can't update. It worked fine until yesterday when half way through a game I started having issues clicking in the client. Can you guys think of a work-related reason I could use to convince the IT department to let me upgrade (playing fumbbl doesn't count). I'm an accountant who has to go on the web to do research and also i have to visit things like dropbox etc. |

If what you describe is a freezing of the screen after every single move, it is a result of a sound command that can't be executed and puts the game on hold.
Solution is to either turn the sound off in the client or to fix whatever is causing the problems with the sound card.
If you have any reason to use a work related java application, java should be up to date for security reasons. Whether you need java for work you need to know yourself. |

As Wreckage says, you should absolutely update Java for security reasons. It's very very insecure to use Java 6 these days, and you're likely to get your machine infected by malware.
Especially when you're doing research related things as that implies you click around to a lot of different websites, which increases the risk of one of them being infected with something bad. I take it the machine you use is the same where you have your work related documents (i.e., confidential client data)? |

But my options are basically to stop playing on this laptop or convince IT that I need java 7. To do the latter I need a better excuse than playing bloodbowl (for them - for me that's the best excuse). I will try and blag the upgrade anyway as Christer's response makes me nervous (though no client data is kept on the laptop - it is all on secure servers). Thanks for the help. |

Javachat doesn't seem to have a named certificate so that soon wont be runnable.
Some of the java prompts have tick boxes asking if you don't want to see them again. |

In fact Javachat is already blocked by the latest version which is a big shame. I presume the cost of getting that an approved security certificate is just as much as for the game client. |
