Strange Eons is written in Java and can be used on several platforms. In order to work, you must have the Java 6 or newer runtime installed. You can check your version of Java and install or update it as needed by pressing this button:
If the button does not work (for example, if you have disabled JavaScript in your browser), go to this installation page instead.
Download and run the Windows installer package. In addition to installing the software, the installer can create Start menu shortcuts for you and associate .eon files with the editor. You must install a Java 6 runtime (see above) before the application will run.
Known Issue (Windows Vista): When using certain video cards, the menu items are shown as solid black when starting the program using the executable (.exe) launcher. Try installing the latest drivers for your video card. If that does not help, you may wish to file a bug report with the card's manufacturer. The problem does not occur when the program is started directly using the JAR (.jar) file. Experienced users can find instructions on how to start the program from the command line on the Other Platform installation page.
