Main window does not load

Hey guys, this may be a case of user error but i am trying to get my Forge working again.

Last weekend i was playing Commander. and it all worked well and then i closed the software and when i wne to reopen it a few hours later the main window simply does not open. it just hangs.
I did some searching and found a previous thread that had a siliar issue however i tried all of the reccomendation in that and had no luck.

I have forge 1.6.30 and i got a snapshot of the java package which i have attached in a txt file (hope thats ok), I have also reinstalled java 8.

Cheers, Noremac

Hi,

did you already try to reset the match layout through Game Settings > Preferences (in that button group at the top of the prefs list)?

Oh, ok, you mean the launch window?

Hm, already tried a fresh re-install?
Maybe something got corrupted? You are using the Desktop version under Windows?

Backup your data folder first, in case something goes "terribly wrong", located here:
C:\Users\<YOU>\AppData\Roaming\Forge

Remove your Forge _install_ folder completely.

Download again/unpack/launch:

https://releases.cardforge.org/forge/forge-gui-desktop/1.6.30/forge-gui-desktop-1.6.30.tar.bz2

But I'm guessing you already tried that?

Not sure about that java error... "AbstractConnection.lockdown"
It's not running in a sandbox perhaps? Some Internet/AV/Firewall system security software, by default, places unknown programs in a virtualised sandbox, cutting off possibly vital system resources.
Just an idea!

Fingers crossed.
