i came back to this game after a while and tried the stand alone client for the first time today.
I use google plus to log into the game what works fine in the browser but when i click the google plus button in the stand alone launcher nothing happens, besides this message in the logs:
<12:22:27:081> MESSAGE [box->b: 72] loginState: OAUTH_OPEN_BROWSER <12:22:27:082> MESSAGE [dqk->b: 172] Login call 2 java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: The BROWSE action is not supported on the current platform! at java.awt.Desktop.checkActionSupport(Desktop.java:225) at java.awt.Desktop.browse(Desktop.java:381) at a.dvg.b(GBUtils.java:93) at gbclient.e.b(GBNewtAppCore.java:174) at a.dvg.b(GBUtils.java:66) at a.dsx.a(HuntedCowConnectionStateHandler.java:67) at a.box.b(GBDispatcher.java:72) at a.box.b(GBDispatcher.java:58) at a.bpm.b(GBScriptEventHandler.java:43) at a.dsn.b(HuntedCowAccountHandler.java:1) at a.dsi.b(OAuthResponseHandler.java:55) at a.dvn.a(GBRemoteFileHandler.java:41) at a.box.b(GBDispatcher.java:72) at a.box.b(GBDispatcher.java:58) at a.bpm.b(GBScriptEventHandler.java:43) at a.bbc.a(Unknown Source) at a.oh.b(Unknown Source) at a.aie.b(Unknown Source) at a.axo.b(Unknown Source) at gbclient.c.b(GBCoreListener.java:288) at a.bnw.e(CLCore.java:134) at a.bon.e(CLGLNewtCore.java:186) at a.bnw$1.run(CLCore.java:112) at a.boq$b.c(CLGLNewtProcessor.java:212) at a.boq.display(CLGLNewtProcessor.java:110) at jogamp.opengl.GLDrawableHelper.displayImpl(GLDrawableHelper.java:690) at jogamp.opengl.GLDrawableHelper.display(GLDrawableHelper.java:672) at jogamp.opengl.GLAutoDrawableBase$2.run(GLAutoDrawableBase.java:441) at jogamp.opengl.GLDrawableHelper.invokeGLImpl(GLDrawableHelper.java:1277) at jogamp.opengl.GLDrawableHelper.invokeGL(GLDrawableHelper.java:1131) at com.jogamp.newt.opengl.GLWindow.display(GLWindow.java:675) at com.jogamp.opengl.util.AWTAnimatorImpl.display(AWTAnimatorImpl.java:77) at com.jogamp.opengl.util.AnimatorBase.display(AnimatorBase.java:449) at a.bog.e(CLFPSAnimator.java:1) at a.bog$a.run(CLFPSAnimator.java:159) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) <12:22:27:705> MESSAGE [box->b: 72] loginState: LOGGED_OUT
I did some digging and found a solution.
You have to install a package similar to "libgnome" on archlinux to get the proper "link opener" installed.
I am on KDE so libgnome is usually not installed. I would prefer a non gnome depended method to get the game running of course.
Anyway, I hope that helps.
