So, my computer is well above the minimum requirements to run this game, and I have read many of the posts on this thread so far. I also have done everything that the very first post on the thread says to do, but I am still running into this problem. when i launch the game, either in browser, or from the install, i get this error:

0% complete
The application has failed to launch due to the following error:
Unexpected end of file from server

Pleas visit
for information on how to handle such problems.

That is the exact error I've been getting none stop, after several uninstalls and reinstalls and restarts of my computer and downloading drivers for video card and updating java and all that special stuff. By now I would have totally given up and went back to playing Call of duty: Black ops, but my friends really like this game and keep suggesting i give it a try. If you can help me out it would be greatly appreciated! B)

Wouldn't Doubt It.

Well, in all likelyhood, it could be due to any given update that's been Ascertained within the last few days. Yet, if it's not that, then dawg, I have no idea what could possibly be causing such a thing as that. It's nothing like what I've heard of before, and certainly not something you'd expect from a browser game of all things. Even though that's true, one thing's for dang sure; We'd rather have you on here than that Call of Duty hum bug any day. So, I'm certain we'll continue to figure out what the issue is, and get back to you as soon as possible!

This does sound like an old

This does sound like an old Java issue, be sure to check that your Java was updated and it's actually being used.

Also another option could be a firewall issue.
Depending on which firewall you might have, add 'java.exe' and 'javaw.exe' to the list of allowed programs/exceptions.
And make sure traffic is allowed on port 47624 on both TCP and UDP.

I'm wondering if this bug could be avoided by flushing out the browser cache/temporary files.
