ok, so i finally got what people meant by the pain from the Netmarble plugins
it does crash my Firefox, yes, everytime i login, it says Netmarble plugin Vista stopped working, and my FF hangs..
my question is, is there the win7 ver?
and is it only me, or does the site too heavy to load? cause i have been refreshing for the past 15 minute and it's not even appearing, other sites works just fine
So What Now?

problem fixed by myself
for win7 user, unfortunately, NetMarble doesn't support freakin win7
so no matter what you do, it will crash
so if you are using Firefox, just right click on the exe file, change the compatibility to Win XP SP3, then install the Netmarble plugin again
when it finished downloading the Netmarble, then change back to the normal compatibility ( or uncheck it )
good god Netmarble, where have you been, we are living in the win7 era.
So What Now?
I used the website, downloaded the game, installed, and played the game with no problems, and I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 32b.
then i am not sure why
because i have seen many people having problem with Netmarble with win7
and it's true, once i set it to run with XP SP3, the Netmarble started the download
before, it just keep on crashing, and i dont have any other 3rd party addon / plugins on my Firefox, clean as default
so it cant be my Firefox
So What Now?
I have issues with Chrome/Win7 and the "compatability mode fix" doesn't work for me.
Basically if you have continuing issues, none of the fixes work for you and can't stop the browser crashes, you seem to have three options:
Play the game but avoid the website (you do not need it to download the client, create an account or play the game, Only to access forums and support, and frankly I have seen very few games where support was even worth the time, I can't say whether support in this game is worth the bother or not).
Play the game but log out of the website so you can read game guide content & forums without the popup. (Game login is not related to website login) The plugin is only 'active' if you are logged in, guests don't get the issue.
Play the game, read the forums and cancel instead of accepting the update, and you can still post, you'll just be annoyed by the constant popups needing to be cancelled every page.
Obviously there is a fourth option, not to play the game at all. I am not going to defend the netmarble plugin as I also think it is garbage, I just like the game itself way too much to give it up when I can find workarounds that I can live with.
But I understand that for those who are not yet sold on the game, it may well seem more trouble than it is worth. It's too late for me, I love this game o/ so I find ways around the netmarble stuff.

As for me, I gave up on Netmarble and deleted my account with them.
Shame about the game, just waiting to see if someone else will publish it.
Knowledge is Power, but Ignorance is often Death
thankfully i am patient enough to went through almost 1 hours ( after countless restarts of Firefox ) just to get the Plugin working, although it was merely just changing the compatibility mode which prolly only need 5 second to do, lol
anyway, im 80% on the client download right now, ill be able to finally try this game tommorow
well for those of you who use win7 and changing the compatibility mode doesn't fix the problem, i am so sorry i have no further idea on how to fix it
it's a shame really that NetMarble have to include this plugin which probably have already made lots of people cancel their intention to play this supposedly wonderful game
So What Now?
A. if you went to the forums, you would have seen a link directly for the download stickied at the top. No plugin required. I found this after 10 minutes of firefox issues on my windows 7 as well.
B. Beta's always run into issues. Lazy people with very little interest always find an excuse to stop.
Please uninstall all your previous installations of Uncharted Waters Online and Marble station.
And get the new client here
http://global.netmarble.com/uwo/media/gameClient.asp
This client has been updated as of Oct 4 2010
sorry for the double post last one got screwed up
Uninstall all previous UWO and Netmarble files and get the new installer here
http://global.netmarble.com/uwo/media/gameClient.asp
Updated Oct, 4, 2010
hmm what is the difference?
i just finished downloading it after 7 hours yesterday, i wouldn't want to wait another 7 hours if it's just the same Client
--- after seeing the link you gave ---
it's all still the same, they didn't update the Client, they only add a new download Mirror which is AusGamers
So What Now?
did you uninstall both the game and plugin prior to re-installing the game what errors are you getting now?
Personally I don't like having malware that crashes my browsers forced on me in order to participate on the official game forums so I didn't bother reinstalling the closed beta client and will just play Pirates of the Burning Sea once it goes free to play. I can at least post on thier forums
Er I didnt get any plugins. I downloaded the game and was offered a MSN like chat system which was optional and I refused it. I'm running Win 7 and using Firefox without any problems.
The only thing I did which I do with all progs is run them as admin.
the game will work fine on windows 7 and FF the only problem is if your one of the unlucky ones you will not be able to join the forums
Aside from the game not working for win7 users properly, Netmarble has bigger concerns. Multiboxing is destroying the community/markets/fame. The game is being flood with Asian's aswell, the asians destroyed their own servers, there on these new ones destroying them awsell. I'd pay to play this game, but f2p, it's getting destroyed.
well they say their working on it so well have to wait and see and the community is working together to eliminate and resolve the problem too
Er I'm running it on Win 7 and have had no issues from download, installation to actually playing. The only thing I'm finding is that the game is doing nothing to hold my interest and to be perfectly honest is shed boring.
I have been running the game on Windows 7 just fine until I upgraded to AVG 2011 anti-virus this morning. After starting UWO at the checking version screen Windows 7 would lock up and I had to hard boot my PC just to get back into Windows. After some tweaking I found that the AVG anti-virus resident shield was the source of the crash.
Fix: Go into AVG - Tools Menu - Advanced settings - Resident Shield - Excluded Items - Add Path C:/NetmarbleGlobal/
After this works like a charm for me again.
