Interesting. I got the bright idea to rename the java folder to javaold and then copied the new java 8 folder into the game and renamed it java and started the game. The console still appeared as it has been all along but it did say I was using version 361 so I figure we can rule out a problem with java now. it is somewhere else. I swear all I did was copy the game over to the new comp. This has never happened in all the times I have done a rebuild.

When I have the config file enabled I get both terminals. White and a black 1

there is no args.txt file in main folder.

when I do echo %_JAVA_OPTIONS% all I get is %_JAVA_OPTIONS% in responce. and that is with java 8 installed

it still happens. but I went poking around and what I am seeing at the beginning of the black terminal looks like the log file. there is more information showed in the console other than the log file though. Maybe I should delete the java folder then validate files and redownload them?

after trying to add the +debug to start options, starting the game, stopping game, removing the +debug, and starting the game without java installed, the game starts with the black console window and starts and plays. I install java 8, and know it is supposed to be the only version on the rig, there is no change, the black console opens, the game starts and runs, with or without the +debug command set in the launch options. in both cases the black console remains open.

I do not have that set. nore any options set there. It sounds like what is happening though. is there a launch command to set a particular java version like with the server? As I have mentioned, the game did start before I even installed java on my rig. I check for other versions, and it only shows the java 8 I installed. and the java uninstaller only shows the 1 version installed. I can uninstall java 8 and the game still starts in the same manner as with the java installed.

thanks that might be it

Nope the debug console it set to false. red51 got any ideas?

Ok, I set debug console to true and I see the difference in the debug console and what is happening. It is a separate window and looks just like a server window when running the dedicated serve. It still happens with debug console set to true. It is a bit different readout though. Now the debug console has all the info that was in the other window and the win cmd console has this in it.

I removed my steam ID from the info. setting the debug console back to false, all the info in the debug console now is shown in the other console again.

As I said, the console that opens up looks just like a server terminal. I may have copied the game info from my other comp to install the game, do I need to uninstall and reinstall? I do not want to do that cause it will take about 3 days to redownload the game and I really don't want to do that.

ok I have been building my new comp and trying to tune things in. In the steam windows version, How do you prevent a win cmd console from opening on game start? This does not happen on my old comp. The terminal that opens is like a server terminal and shows what the game is doing. this is only visible running in window mode. It does open in the background, so it is not bothering anything, but I would rather it didn't happen. BTW when I shut the terminal window down it closes the game. How do I fix this? The comp came with win 11 if it makes any difference. Oh, it also was able to start the game before I installed java 8. When I run java -version in the cmd console everything checks out with only java 8 installed. I have verrified the files and all checks out.

you can have multiple java installed on windows but you have to append a start program and I can't remember what it is. red51 told me about it for another machine I was having the same problems with. Hey red51 do you remember how to direct the server to the proper java version? It was something appended in the win_startscript.bat.bat file I believe. the line that needs to be change should look something like

"c:\Program Files\java\jre1.8.0_341\bin\java.exe" -xmx%mem% -jar server.jar

it could be in Program Files (x86) look for it. If it is you probably installed the 32 bit version and should remove and install the 64 bit version if you run a 64 bit rig. I just made this mistake myself on a new comp with win 11 on it.

341 should be replaced by your java version number and the drive letter changed to where you install java.

after that the server started working. Just install the newest java 8 jre and replace the version number there

I am not sure about youe win server 2019 but it should work. you can always get the java removal tool from there web site to remove older versions of java but as I said it should work. The problem is when you update java 8 you will have to change the version number in the .bat file by hand.

he might want to uninstall java 17 also, if using windows, or he might still have problems unless he is using a linux build. Then it might just work like it does for me. I have java 8jre, 11jdk, and 17jdk install in debian 11 and it works just fine without any tweeks. There is an option to select java versions in linux, am not shure of windows.

I did some research and found that I needed to install the nvidia proprietary drivers. After doing this, most of my problems have been fixed. Good call on the driver problem

ok I sent 4 reports. The first 3 are after makeing minore changes to the settings and then saveing where the game crashes and you have to restart it. The 4th report is after a crash while in game playing after makeing the changes to the settings. I also have noticed that it is saying I am useing an AMD vid card with 512 vram. The ingame crash I think may be related to this problem. I am not shure how to get the nvidia card running although when I check the vram available on the comp everything points to it being set up corectly.

ok, I have a asus vivobook pro 15 with a 16 core amd processor with 16 gigs of ram and a rtx 3050 graphics card with 4 gig of ram. I installed debian 11 and got steam running and installed RW. When I start the unity version and go into settings, the first thing I see is 512gig in red at top of the page for my vid ram. I have checked my system and all 4 gigs of vram is available, so the problem is with the game seeing it. Also, when I go to change settings and save, the game crashes rather than going back to the lobby as expected. If I change settings more then add a little distance to my view and maybe limit my frame rate the game will not start at all and I have to remove the config file to set things back to default. As long as the settings are pretty much at default, the game plays but if I change the filters the game will not start. No matter what, if I press save in settings, the game crashes and has to be restarted.

well it seems the ancer is pretty much what I thought it would be so I guess me buying a new rig was the smartest thing I could do. This 1 has 8 core CPU and a rtx 3050 with 4 gig of ram this time >:) Thanks for replying!

I have a gtx 1050ti vid card on my laptop and the unity version of RW is making my card run at 90 deg C. it has 2 gig vid ram. I have tried turning vidio settings all the way down and distance view too and it just delays the heat up. that and you can't see far enough away to enjoy anything. Also it is seeming to be using 98% of the 2 gig of vid ram.

that may do the trick. I am waiting in anticipation

is there a way we can get a panel. that can be opened, to access and modify and make new area groups, while we are editing a protected area as admin? As it is, it takes a server owner to modify the area group permissions files. General permissions are fine the way it is done, but for area protection, I think it would be handier to be able to access them from ingame. Sort of the way some of the area protections worked in the java version.

you can reset key assignments from settings I believe.

I believe turning is rt ctrl & arrow keys and page up and down.

There should be a config file in the area protection that will allow you to customize the message.

AshWardle same problem I had. you need to alter your win_startscript.bat file to start the server like this

"c:\Program Files\java\jre1.8.0_341\bin\java.exe" -Xmx%mem%m -jar server.jar

replace the java directory address with your path and version. I am guessing you are using yahgiggle's installer otherwise you will need to remove the JDK18 to make it work.
