Java's or browser's problem?

Hey everybody,
two weeks ago, I updated my MacBook OS to Snow Leopard 10.6. All and all, I am pleased with it, but there is a small problem that is bothering me.
Before the update, I used to play a Java based, web browser game called "Nodiatis". every thing was great, never had a problem with it until i switched to Snow Leopard. After that, the game just wont start. in order for the game to start, it needs a connection with it's server.
After contacting the game developers, they said that all the Snow Leopard users cannot log in for some unknown reason.
I have been asked to use (https://) instead of (http://), but the second I hit enter, the browser crashes. wither its Safari or Firefox.
Empty cash didn't do the trick too.

my question is: is this a Java related problem since the game is Java based? or is it a browser (Safari v4) related one since it is a web browser game?
any suggestions to how could I solve this issue?

thank you very much.

 

is there any thing I can do to fix the problem?
or the only thing to do is wait for a Java update from Apple?
