Download link not working / Unable to launch the application

[LyrickCZE]

Good afternoon,

I just found this interesting game, but when trying to download it from this link:

http://plymouth.seatribe.se/java/salem.jnlp

it ends up with this error screen:
(Google Chrome can't find the server plymouth.seatribe.se)


Any ideas?

Thank you for your time.

Something must be blocking this address for you. Firewall? Proxy? Are you in some office / school network?
It works for me.

Hmm, must have been some temporary problem. It is working for me as well, and I did absolutely no changes.

EDIT: Ignore the following comment, now it magically works. Again after making no changes. I'm confused.

But now after downloading salem.jnlp and running it, it ends with:
Application Error

I'm using Comodo Firewall which is set to show me all requests (and upon starting salem.jnlp I set javaws.exe to be trusted and also tried running it second time).
I'm not in school or work or using the proxy. Regular home network, wired, VDSL, using Win7 Home 32bit, latest Java7u11.

Any other information I should mention?

Well, try pinging plymouth.seatribe.se

Go to command line and type
ping plymouth.seatribe.se

If you get the error that it's impossible to resolve the hostname then try cleaning your DNS cache:
ipconfig /flushdns

Then try pinging again. If you again get error about host not being resolved then it looks like your ISP's DNS servers either can't find this host or have it blocked. You might try to choose different DNS server or use IP directly instead of host name. Try pinging 194.237.239.121
If it fails then ISP is blocking it intentionally I guess. If it works however then you can try this:

Open salem.jnlp in notepad and change all occurances of plymouth.seatribe.se to 194.237.239.121
Then run it again.

Here for the commodo firewall thing, I dont use commodo firewall and I still got that issue but I managed to bypass it.

Change your Salem desktop shortcut to this, edit for correct path. The main thing is to run salem with Javaws.exe with no splash. PM me if you still need help.

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\javaws.exe -Xnosplash "C:\Salem Online\salem.jnlp"
