Hey all.
I didn’t find anything on this when i tried searching so i decided to post it here…
The problem i experience:
My latest game Beyond Negotiation is deployed using Java Web Start. The game requires an external library which is specified and downloaded using the .jnlp file. Everything seems to work fine, but after jws has finished downloading my stuff it executes the first couple of lines of code of my game. (I can see this in the java console). The strange thing is that no GUI is displayed on screen until after atleast 15 seconds. This behaivior makes the user think something went wrong (no visual feedback on screen). When i load the game locally i don’t get the strange pause.
It doesn’t seem like everyone else is having this problem, so it must be something i’ve done differently…
So, i’d be very happy to hear your thoughts about this. Perhaps its just something simple i overlooked…
