I think this problem should be solved now. Please try and verify.

seemed to log in ok, do you know what the problem was

I've described the problem here.

There were a few other things Oracle has changed around with u45 as well, among others this. (That was the single largest problem. I had to spend a whole day of disassembling their JNLP client by hand to find out. :P)

I hate to bump an old thread but as a very new player on this game, I downloaded the game and java and couldn't initially connect.

this maybe

Area: deploy
Synopsis: Default Security Level Setting Changed to High
The default security level for Java applets and web start applications has been increased from "Medium" to "High". This affects the conditions under which unsigned (sandboxed) Java web applications can run. Previously, as long as you had the latest secure Java release installed applets and web start applications would continue to run as always. With the "High" setting the user is always warned before any unsigned application is run to prevent silent exploitation.

could this have anything to do with it from javas release notes

tack

This was exactly the problem, and adjusting Java back to Medium allowed me to decide which apps I would let run, in which let me prompt this game to run, etc.
