Hello,
I've got Covid and may need to do my local league game this week online. I've been working on getting Fumbbl to work and it's been nothing but stress. Hopefully, you all can help because I've gone through the client troubleshooting and it didn't help.
When I try to launch the client to spectate (which is how I am testing this) the first problem I have is that it just keeps downloading the client once I click the spectate and game links. I did the troubleshooting and it didn't fix it.
If I launch the client manually, it connects and tells me I have a server password error.
I'm running the latest version of Java, have the file type properly associated and have set everything according to the troubleshooting article EXCEPT for the setting to disable sponsors on update. I'm on current Windows 64.
What else can I do to get this running? Is it worth it or would I be better of with Tabletop Simulator?
Thanks,
Stabbyhotep |

The downloaded file is not the client but the config file telling javaws what options to uee like specrator or player and which team etc.
So that has to be downloaded each time.
The client itself is only downloaded once for each version.
The password error means that you are either not logged in or reused an old jnlp file. The stored authentication information can only be used once.
If you need to build a team with skills and injuries you will have to set up a league. There you can edit skills etc. as needed. If you have no special rules in your league and do not need mega stars you can use ruleset 4.
Details about this are in the help section. |

Right now, it’s downloading the jnlp file from clicking on spectate on any live game. How could I have a wrong or old version? Once it downloads, it doesn’t launch unless I double click it…is that right? I though it would launch the client automatically.
I do sign into the site and see no where to enter uid/psw into the client when it loads. I’ve spent hours of the help articles and it’s not working.
I’d also like to start playing here so I’m excited to get going. Looksceasier than TTS. |

Bud, if you can get through this java pain, which we all have, you won't regret playing here.. it's great. So great, in fact, that you will probably waste a significant portion of your life playing Blood Bowl, eventually thousands of times, and then will regret ever getting through your java nightmare. Be warned.
The other alternative is to figure it out, lose 8 games in a row, feel like the dice are all rigged against you, and leave before getting good. That will also save hundreds of hours of your free time.
Choose well. |

Murker, you’ve described the life I crave! Disabled, so I have a lot of time to play! |

Candlejack…what type of league would I need? I saw a few types and aren’t sure which to choose for what is essentially a one-off game. We usually play in person. |

Once you get the game working on java, send me a FUMBBL PM. We can chat on DISCORD sometime and I will click through the league creation process with you, to help you get the custom league and teams you want for your practice. |
