I was able to get the jar to run. When using the command provided on the download page I get a memory error in Java. So I modified the memory parameter to this:
This gets the game to run no problems. So now I am wondering if I need to change some setting in Java to prevent it from trying to give the executable too much memory. I'll try this out and post anything I find.
I also am having this issue on a Windows XP SP3 machine. The machine is old (a Dell Optiplex GX620), but the browser version works fine. I've tried running the jar and the executable with no luck. I've updated the video drivers, updated Java, even installed the JDK just to see. Still no luck.
Specs:
Pentium 4 3.40GHz
2GB of RAM
Intel 82945G Express
I can provide other info to help troubleshoot if anybody has ideas.
