Java Exception crash

[chaoticidealism]

I'm running KoLmafia-25714, and every time I start it up, I get this error message:



I've tried updating Java. It's updated. I've tried re-downloading KOLMafia. Nothing. I've tried restarting my computer and browser, just in case--still nothing. I haven't done anything new--what's going on?

Hrm. What version of Java are you running? Note that Java 8 is no longer sufficient in all of its flavors -- see this thread that I posted this morning.

This random stackoverflow post suggests it's likely a version issue. If you can try to run it from the command line (e.g. PowerShell -> java -jar KoLmafia-25714.jar) you might be able to get more information.

In particular, if you get something like UnsupportedClassVersionError as noted in a screenshot on that post, that means that you're trying to run with an older version of Java.

I had JDK 17 installed, but I also had Java 8 installed. Once I uninstalled Java 8, KOLMafia started working.

Thanks.
