I play through kongregate (I started there back in 2011 and now I'm stuck with the site...) and now with some new security settings java won't let me play the game. I tells me to put the URL on the exception list to unblock sk. I followed the instructions I found but I still can't play.
Does anyone know what exactly I need to put on the exception list to be able to play?
(Sent support ticket already asking if I could get my account moved from kongregate because I've only had problems playing from there)
EDIT: so I'll go into a little more detail (keep in mind that I don't actually know much about how any of this works)
I have the problem both on internet explorer and firefox. When press the play now button after opening up the game on kongregate the java symbol starts loading and then stops. I get a popup that says aplication blocked by java security. The application doesnt meet the security requirements so it has to be on the exception list to run. The popup gives the loacation as http://gamemedia.spiralknights.com but when I mouse over it it says http://gamemedia.spiralknights.com/spiral/client/getdown-pro.jar
I click "more information" on the popup which takes me to a guide how to put something on this exception list. Im still not sure what URL I'm supposed to put on the list so i look up a youtube guide. Now I know I just have to put the location there and it should allow me to play. Im not sure which of the two locations is correct so i put both on the list. When I try to open the game I get the exact same popup, nothing has happened. I look deeper into the guide and notice that "If the URL where the applet is hosted is different from the URL of the web page from which the applet is launched, then you will need to add both the URL for the applet as well as the URL for the web page. " So i put http://www.kongregate.com/games/GreyHavens/spiral-knights on the exception list too. Still doesnt work.
What am I missing? And an even better question; why isnt there a button on the first popup that says something like "trust this location". Why do I have to manually put everything on some list?
So yeah, would be cool to be able to play this game (and maybe get my account away from kongregate that only causes me trouble, I know its possible because they did it to a guildie when aeria games stopped supporting sk)
First off, what web browser are you using to play Spiral Knights? That might have an effect on it all.
Next, make sure your java is up to date. An old java may be considered an "insecure" java by your browser. Heck, for that matter make sure your web browser is also up to date.
You can try making sure java isn't limited in how often it can be turned on for your browser (eg. in firefox, set the java plugin to "run always" rather than "ask every time"). For safety's sake, I wouldn't recommend doing this unless its the only thing that works, and that you should reset it back to its original state whenever you're done playing Spiral Knights.
There may also be some settings in your java itself that need to be turned on. I would recommend taking the prior approach of "opening everything" to see if it works, and then lock down your java from there to prevent any attacks on your computer.
Best of luck!
