G-Earth/Troubleshooting.md

There are some known issues while using G-Earth, please read this through carefully.

First of all, make sure you have extracted the .rar file to its own folder. If you're using a mac; make sure you have completed the mac-installation wiki page.

Problem 1: G-Earth doesn't open

• It's recommended to use Java 8, some problems have occurred with people using Java 11 or other versions. It shouldn't be hard to fix this with a simple google search.
• On Linux, if you get a "Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1" exception, execute "xhost +local:" in a terminal
• It will almost always be an issue with Java, so try reinstalling

Problem 2: Stuck at 76%

• On windows; navigate to https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/ and download the c++ redistributable 2017 ( https://imgur.com/a/bgvL8fN ), make sure to select the right version.
• Try another browser. (on Mac, use Firefox. On Windows, use Chrome, Firefox or Opera, others might work as well, but IE and Edge do not)
• MAKE SURE your downloaded the right .rar file, for Windows, check if you're running on a 32bit or 64bit device first.

Problem 3: Habbo loads, but G-Earth isn't connected

• Your hosts file might have some permissions issues. Delete it and place a new one: https://github.com/sirjonasxx/G-Earth/issues/17
