HABBO AIR CURRENTLY DOESN'T WORK FOR MAC

There are some known issues with the execution G-Earth, please read this through carefully.

First of all, make sure you have extracted the .rar file into 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
• On Linux, if you get a "could not find or load main class gearth.Main", javafx might not be installed. Execute "apt install openjfx" to install javafx
• It will almost always be an issue with Java, so try reinstalling

Problem 2: Stuck at 76% or 57%

• 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.
• If you got a message redirecting you to the troubleshooting page, the issue likely has to do with something G-Mem related.
  • Try double clicking G-Mem.exe and see if any errors appear, this may help you in troubleshooting
  • In rare cases, I found people that couldn't use G-Mem.exe if it was executed with admin permissions. If you can verify you have the same issue, you could make your hosts file editable by non-admin users and run G-Earth in a non-admin fashion. Beware: this is a security risk but I found no other solution

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
• The port of the hotel you're trying to connect with (30000 or 38101 on most hotels) must not be in use by any other process than G-Earth. There are platform-specific ways to find out what ports are in-use by googling.
• Make sure you don't have a VPN(/browser extension) enabled
• Your antivirus might be the problem, try to disable it
• Your firewall might be the problem, try to disable it

Problem 4: Retro doesn't loads (with or without G-Earth)

• If you can't connect to the retro after using G-Earth and you are stuck at 76% without G-Earth

  Try the following steps:

  • Open cmd as administrator (https://www.wikihow.com/Run-Command-Prompt-As-an-Administrator-on-Windows)

  • Run this command netsh interface ip delete address "Loopback" HOST

    Replace HOST with the host of you retro

  If you don't see any message after the command, it works, but if you have something like "can't find this ip address":

  1. Your host is wrong or
  2. The problem does not come from here

Creating an Issue

If the solutions did NOT help you, navigate to https://github.com/sirjonasxx/G-Earth/issues and, if it hasn't been solved before, create a new issue. Include the following things in your issue:

• Java version
• Your operating system
• For windows: open CMD as administrator and navigate to the G-Earth folder, execute "java -jar G-Earth.jar" and wait for your specific problem to occur. Afterwards, take a screenshot and include it in the issue.
• For mac&linux: the same thing, but open a terminal instead and use the command "sudo java -jar G-Earth.jar"

If you had an issue and solved it with a different solution and feel like it belongs on this page, feel free to create an issue.
