This file contains everything you need but the image files. These are available in seperate zip files.
The game won't run without all of the images!So, please download at least all of these files here:
JLeHavre1.0_Executables.zip
JLeHavre1.0_Images1.zip
JLeHavre1.0_Images2.zip
JLeHavre1.0_Images3.zipFor more information and the discussion, see
http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/387204===GENERAL INFORMATION===This is the official computer version of Le Havre. It was designed in Java by Grzegorz Kobiela with the approval of designer Uwe Rosenberg and publisher
Lookout Games (Hanno Girke). It uses the original graphics with permission from Lookout Games, the rights holder, and Klemens Franz, the artist.
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.Do NOT distribute this game and do NOT use any parts of it without permission. Let your friends download this file from here. The simple reason is, I'd just like to know how many people are playing this game.
You may play this game free of charge and how often and how long you want. There are no restrictions to that. However, if you like this version, consider the purchase of the original underlying boardgame. If you've got some money left, I'd be very happy about a small donation.
===INSTALLATION===Download all the zip files and unzip them to any folder (however, all into the same). Once you've downloaded all of these files, download all the patches in chronological order, i. e. start at the bottom and move up downloading and installing all available patches one after another. Overwrite any existing files.
Start the game by double-clicking the "LeHavre.jar" jar file. If this does not work on your operating system (it definitely does on Windows XP and higher), use Google to find out how to run jar files on your system. I do not offer support for any other system but Windows.
===RELEASE INFO===The game comes with two language files: German and English. The default language is English, but you can change it easily after starting the game.
All the images are in German, but in game you can get translations of them in the context menu of many game objects. If you like, you may easily replace these image files by your own to have them in your language. Just make sure they have the same sizes as the given ones.
There are several config files that you may edit to change the view of the game. I wouldn't recommend to do so. If you do, do it on your own risk!
If you like to add another language, consult one of the language files to get some help with it. Make sure to update your own translations once I've uploaded an update on any of the basic language files.
===VERSION INFO===This is final version 1.0. Despite my earlier postings, I
will continue the work on this version. I'll publish version 1.1 soon. This will contain the mini-expansion "Le Grand Hameau".
There are plans about version 2.0 that will be re-designed from scratch. This time, I'll do this together with a friend. At the moment, it's unsure if this 2nd version will be free of charge like the first one. A sure thing is, this time it'll be a web application.
And now have fun and:
===ENJOY!===

Worked fine once I did.
Download all the files on this page in chronological order. Start with the bottom-most file. Do not download the next file unless you've completed the last one.
Create a new directory for the game somewhere on your computer. Unzip the main four files into this folder (Executables.zip and the three Images#.zip). Then, one by one, download any patches and replace the exisiting files in the proper directories with the new ones from the patch. Make sure, you do this in chronological order!
Once you've downloaded all the files, start the game by double-clicking "JLeHavre.jar" (on Windows). Please inform yourself how to start the game on a different OS.

Here are some tips from other users. If you like these, please tip and thumb the original posts below this comment.
I used:
javaw -Xmx256M -jar LeHavre.jar
After it starts, you can close the little dos like window. This gives the application a little more memory - I noticed it started to slow down a lot after playing a little while, so I upped the memory and it ran much better.
After installing Hamachi you may encounter connectivity issues due to connection Metrics. Windows uses Metrics to determine the order it will attempt to acquire internet access. What is happening here is the Hamachi adapter is being auto assigned a lower Metric than the adapter that provides your internet connection.
To manually assign a Metric:
Windows XP
1. Open the Control Panel
2. Go into Network Connections
3. Right Click on the Hamachi adapter, and click Properties
4. Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and click the Properties button
In a 64bit OS, it will be listed as Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
5. Now choose the Advanced button
6. At the bottom of this page, uncheck the box labeled Automatic Metric, and enter 9000 as the Interface Metric
Windows Vista
1. Open the Control Panel
2. Go into Network and Sharing Center
3. In the left pane, click Manage network connections
4. Right Click on the Hamachi adapter, and click Properties
5. Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and click the Properties button
In a 64bit OS, it will be listed as Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
6. Now choose the Advanced button
7. At the bottom of this page, uncheck the box labeled Automatic Metric, and enter 9000 as the Interface Metric
Performing the above steps will assign Hamachi a very high metric, normally making it the very last thing Windows will turn to to attempt an internet connection. If that does not resolve it, perform the same steps on the adapter you want your internet connection to be on, but assign it a 100 metric.
This worked for me running two WinXP machines and a Vista machine, both hardwired and on a wireless network.
