I've been playing this game on my iMac for a few months. Was working great, no major problems. My Fusion drive was recalled. Just got it replaced, 1st thing I did was d/l the Mac Client of RW. When I tried to install, I would get a message I needed Java 6 SE, with a link to it, downloaded it, installed, then tried to install RW again. New message Needs current Java. So I went and got Java 8 update 51, came out last month. Installed it. Then tried installing RW, again, won't launch, getting message "Cannot launch 'Rising World' No Compatible version of Java 1.7 is available. " WTH, 1.7? What? I was playing this game for months without Java issues, What gives?
New Java Problem on a fresh drive. Asking for Java 1.7, what?

The game requires at least Java 7 (1.7), but on MacOS, JDK 6 is preinstalled, and Java prefers the JDK version over the JRE version (so even if you install Java 8, the outdated JDK 6 is used in most cases).
You can solve this issue by downloading and installing the latest JDK: http://www.oracle.com/technetw…k8-downloads-2133151.html (select the download for "Mac OS X x64" [~222mb])
