That's the thing. I played the old version like 10 minutes before I updated to the new one. I didn't download or install anything else at that time. I played the game, turned it off, browsed the web for a while, downloaded the new version and it stoped working.
I will try reinstalling java, but unless win10 did something in that span of 10 minutes, then I doubt it's on my end.

Re: Exception in thread "Major Update Worker" when starting singleplayer
That would be why. The server requires Java 11. You're running SP, which has to run the server, so you have to be running Java 11.
I suppose older builds were still incorrectly being built with 8?

Re: Exception in thread "Major Update Worker" when starting singleplayer
As the FAQ on this very forum states, you have to have Java 11: viewtopic.php?t=2-faq-check-here-first

Re: Exception in thread "Major Update Worker" when starting singleplayer
I installed the proper java version and restarted the PC:
The issue still persistst. Same error messages and everything, so the problem is somewhere else.
Besides. Previous version worked flawlesly even when I had the wrong java version, so the issue has to be something else.
Code: Select all
openjdk version "11.0.20.1" 2023-08-24
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-11.0.20.1+1 (build 11.0.20.1+1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-11.0.20.1+1 (build 11.0.20.1+1, mixed mode)

Re: Exception in thread "Major Update Worker" when starting singleplayer
I believe SP actually bundles a version of Java for Windows users. It's possible that this was the wrong version (the bundling was done by a separate volunteer about a year ago). Can you navigate to the SP's jre/bin folder in a console and do .\java -versionJohnyWhite wrote: ↑Fri Oct 06, 2023 2:23 pm I installed the proper java version and restarted the PC:The issue still persistst.

Re: Exception in thread "Major Update Worker" when starting singleplayer
Looks right. I suppose I'll have to look into this more when I have time later on today, I'm technically supposed to be doing my dayjob right now. Apologies that it's not resolved yet.

Re: Exception in thread "Major Update Worker" when starting singleplayer
In the meantime, can you do one more quick test and let me know if the old build still works?
