After running the application translated UI is not loaded. The program is crashed at attempt to edit translation file.

Possibly something to do with the encoding of the translation file. What makes me think that is the "crash.log" file you attached is not formatted correctly -

Code: Select all

       CRASH REPORT FOR MAGARENA THREAD Thread[AWT-EventQueue-0,6,main]       CREATED ON 2017/05/29 22:56:52       MAGARENA VERSION 1.85, JRE 1.8.0_121, OS Windows 7_6.1 x86       ================================
       Used Memory: 96M       Free Memory: 150M       Total Memory: 247M       Max Memory: 494M       ================================       -Xms256m       -Xmx512m       -Xverify:none                     Exception from controller.runGame: For input string: "?1033268948"       java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "?1033268948"
...


and the "?1033268948" input string error described is actually the first entry in the file (there are only 3 new translations) -

1033268948 = ▫Layout
4068251502 = ▫Style
0763824768 = ▫Scale
0233421099 = Популярные колоды
0439905227 = Выигрышные колоды
...

So I am assuming it may be something similar with the translation file. To check, please can you attach the translation file you are trying to edit. You can open the folder containing it from the translation menu in the preferences dialog.

I have managed to replicate by trying to edit the file using Notepad.

It is very important that the file is encoded as UTF-8 without BOM. Magarena will automatically do this for you when it creates the file. However because you will be editing the file using your preferred text editor, on saving your changes it is possible that an old or badly behaved editor (like Notepad) will change the file to a different encoding. If this happens then Magarena will not be able to load the translation file.

I use Notepad++ but Notepad2 is also very good if you prefer something closer to Notepad.

[kannikkiy]

Thank you!
Yes, the problem is illegal encoding.

crash report.
The game slowed down a lot, then the crash popup appeared. It was during the AI turn, and the game progressed even if the popup was there, as you can see from game.log

Thanks for the logs and screenshot, very helpful. The battlefield does not look particularly busy but looking at the crash.log, the VM memory allocation looks suspect. Max Memory should be at least 512M which launch4j should be setting. Are you running Magarena.exe or the Magarena.jar directly?

If you open the About screen by clicking on the M logo in any screen you can see the current memory usage. For example you would expect to see something like the following usage just after the main menu is shown on starting Magarena,

I must use the magarena.jar file, as running Magarena.exe gives me this error: "Launch4j The registry refers to a nonexistent Java Runtime Enviroment installation or the runtime is corrupted. Impossibile trovare il file specificato(impossible to find the specified file)".

It started to show with build 1.82 I think. I've tried to reinstall Java on my machine, but other than that I did nothing before or after the error.

[jerichopumpkin]

checked the memory values running Magarena.jar
Max: 247,5 Totalt: 126,8 Used:63,3 Free 63,5
but used kept raising and free going down as I watched them. I tried closing Magarena and restarting it and I had
Total: 121,1 Used: 110,2 Free: 9,9
and again used memory kept raising

I found a old post on a minecraft forum about the same error. Turned out that I had instaslled 32bit Java on a 64bit OS. Thanks Oracle for being more user-friendly...
Installed with the manual download Java 64bit and now Magarena.exe works again, I'm sorry I wasted your time

No problem, I am glad you were able to sort it. I googled "Launch4j The registry refers to a nonexistent Java Runtime Enviroment installation" and it is obviously a common problem but was unable to find a definitive solution.

I actually run Windows 7 64-Bit with a 32-bit version of java so I am not sure it was specifically to do with that but I think maybe when you installed the 64-bit java it restored and fixed any corrupted settings. You might want to check Control Panel -> Java which opens the Java Control Panel, then click on the Java tab and click the View button. If it displays more than one version of java installed I would recommend uninstalling all versions via Control Panel -> Programs and Features and then re-installing the 64 bit version again. Finally, open a command line terminal and type "java -version" to ensure java can be found and it is the correct version.

I run Win10, already checked if there where other java versions on my machine, and the command line prompts the right info.
I don't know, since I did try reinstalling Java before to solve the problem. What I actually did was uninstall it, then go to Oracle website and reinstall from there, thus getting the online version.
This time I downloaded the 64bit installer, run it, then it prompet me to remove older versions still present on the system.
I guess you also have the offline version, from what I've understood, the problem lies in the offline version
