Windows 11 - Cannot launch Rising World client - Java version (Unity version will work fine)

Juggernaut · Jan 26th 2022

Hi red51

Windows 11 Pro -- all latest updates on a clean new PC build.

i5 12600K (latest Alder Lake CPU - 12gen)

Asrock Z690 Pro RS with latest bios (mobo)

Samsung 980 Pro 1TB M.2 NVME

32GB RAM (DDR4 3200)

GTX 1660 Ti (w/ latest Nvidia Driver 511.23)

Unity version works fine.

Java version will attempt to launch then Java coughs up the attached error logs (1st log using built in java).

Installed latest version of Java thinking it may be a problem with the older packaged java in game. No dice (see 2nd log).

Looks like a compatibility issue with Windows 11 (still works on my older Win 10 pc). Anyone here able to run RW Java version in Windows 11??

*NOTE* Alder Lake (gen 12 Intel CPUs) did have an issue with some games but have since been fixed by Intel (DRM issues with certain games), so I am not sure if this may be related. Here is a link to the old article about this issue: https://www.pcgamer.com/intel-…drm-game-list-workaround/

Just wanted you to be aware.

Thanks!!

Hmm... that's strange The game couldn't load some definitions from the definitions.db file... maybe the file is corrupted (in this case you could try to verify the game files through Steam).

But this could also be an issue with the temp folder: By default SQLite puts some temporary files in the Windows temp folder (AppData/Local/Temp), maybe that's causing problems on Windows 11?

You could try this: Create a new file called "args.txt" in your game directory (where the exe is located) and add this line to it:

-Djava.io.tmpdir=C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/RisingWorld/cache

Maybe you could also try to run the game as administrator.

If that doesn't help, it could be worth a try to use the latest JDBC drivers, which can be found here: https://github.com/xerial/sqli…/sqlite-jdbc-3.36.0.3.jar

Just download the jar, then rename it to sqlite-jdbc.jar and put it in the lib folder in the game directory (and replace the existing file with it).

Please let me know if that works

I already tried running as administrator and verifying files via steam. I'll try your other two suggestions and get back to you. thanks!

seem to be having problems with the java server not wanting to start. Updating java to see if it helps.

The Update to java worked. The java server now starts fine. I updated to java8u321 64 bit, of course, and all is good.

OK, I was able to get this resolved. Unfortunately I do not know specifically what it was. Went through and disabled all non essential Windows 11 functions I prefer not to have, and tweaked my UEFI/BIOS some after updating to latest. Updated the Samsung 800 pro firmware and setup OP (Over provisioning). I didn't have a chance to try your last two suggestions ( red51 ), I figured I'd try launching 1st thing this morning after my work last night and it worked. I'll let you know if I can identify what caused it. I appreciate your input!
