Crash Report

[Esquire90]

I posted this as a reply in another thread and I'm new here so not sure if I should post as a new topic but here goes:

I installed the JAVA JDK and restarted and had selected an AI deck and player deck and hit "Start" and received this message.

Thanks!

Please post a screen shot (of the screen with Start).

Cheers,

We appreciate the bug report Esquire90. People who are new to the Forge forum should read this topic as it contains useful information: How to Provide a Useful Bug Report.

Here's a screenshot. I was able to create a deck but when I tried to play with it using Sanctioned Format: Constructed, I received the message after clicking "Start."

Thanks. Is it just your own custom deck that does not work? Can you play with a Quest or random deck for example?

If it is just your deck I am wondering whether the "/" in the name might be causing problems. Have you tried creating another deck without the "/" (or any other non-alphanumeric character) in the name?

If that does not work can you attach your "dck" file. I am not sure where that would be stored on the Mac (in Windows it is in %appdata%/forge/decks/constructed").

Cheers,
Steve

Steve! Thank you! I feel like an moron. I tried a random deck prior to downloading JAVA JDK and I got an error report but didn't think to try it again after that and it ended up working. Long story short, thanks for the help!

[spr]

Great!

I think it could be the "/" - I just tried renaming one of my custom decks to "Grindstone / Helm" and it actually saved it as "Grindstone _ Helm" which suggests to me that "/" is reserved. In which case, why is it letting you enter "/" into the name in the first place? Come on GUI developers pull your fingers out and get it sorted!

Who calls it a GUI these days anymore? Does anyone talk about UIs that aren't Graphical without other modifications to the phrasing? ;p
