3.6.14 and Java 11

You shouldn’t be missing modules. Can you post your ~/.VASSAL/prefs/V_Global file here?

Is this the list of modules you see in the Module Manager now, or the list you saw before?

this is what I see when I start .14 or .15.
my .7 list is quite full - maybe 20 games

Are you able to reproduce the problem if you open 3.6.7 and then 3.6.15?

once I ran 3.6.15, now it happens all the time even going back to 3.6.7

if I open 3.15 and then re-open modules (that were present in 3.6.7), they come into the list - and no re-loading of images, etc…they open right up, but they aren’t in the list until I re-open them from their source directory.

What I need is to see the V_Global file I mentioned above both before and after the problem occurs, so I can compare them.

Ok. I’ll have to reinstall and set up the various Vassal DLs since I think stuff has been changed too much to give you the original.

Let me work on it.
