Questions & Answers

This is not a FAQ, but a PAQ, for "Preemptively Answered Questions". In other words, questions that we answer before we are asked them (and some that we answer even though they may never be asked).

General Questions

What is Haven & Hearth?

An online game. Please check the about page for further details.

I can't play it. What's wrong?

The game client is written in Java and you might have to install the JRE manually (follow the link). For other problems, there is a Bug Forum.

Technical Questions

What are the system requirements?

To be honest, we are not quite sure. While testing, we have experienced strange effects, such as seemingly low-level computers handling the game far better than seemingly high-level computers. Since we do not know where the performance bottleneck lies, we cannot currently answer this question.

Your homepage is written in really neat XHTML. What program did you use? FrontPage? Dreamweaver?

Exclusively EMACS and vi. (I use Wordpad! /Jorb)

I've found a bug! How can I report it?

A critical client side bug will, hopefully, be automatically reported by Java's built in error report. For all other eventualities, there is a Bug Forum.

Can I install the game client on my computer?

Of course! Note that you still need to have Java installed to be able to use the link. (Unless you have changed your JNLP client settings from the defaults, Java should automatically add a desktop item and start menu entry when you use the link.)

Where can I get the client source code?

See the source code documentation page.

Questions About Us

Who are you?

Two Swedish university students, Fredrik Tolf and Björn Johannessen, who decided to create a game to our liking in our spare time. We hope you will like it.

No, not you. I mean, who's the producer?

We have no producer, and we resent the concept. If anything, we operate under the faux company Seatribe.
