Hinky Java problems

My opponent gets weird graphics errors on his PC in Vassal.

I guess your opponent is running Vassal on Windows, but please specify.

@mycenae

He has the latest versions of both Java and Vassal but reports that this error also shows in other apps that run on Java, so we are thinking that’s the source of the error.

Vassal for Windows runs its own embedded Java Virtual Machine (JVM), so it doesn’t matter if your opponents general JVM is up-to-date or not. However, your assertion seems to indicate a more general problem with JVMs on your opponents machine.

I’m attaching a screen shot of the Starship Troopers module under the whammy.

From your screenshot, it looks like you opponent is running Vassal on Windows and it is version 3.7.17 of Vassal and 2.3 of the module in question. But I cannot find version 2.3 of Starship Troopers in the module library - only

1. Starship Troopers Starship_Troopers with versions 2.11.0, 2.1.0, 1.2.0, and 1.1.0
2. Starship Troopers Starship_Troopers_enhanced with versions 3.2.1, 3.1.1, and 3.0.0-final
3. Starship Troopers Starship_Troopers_lonestar with versions 1.3.4, 1.3.3, 1.3.2, 1.3.1, 1.1.0, 1.0.1, and 1.0.0

Please specify which module (preferably with a link) your opponent is using.

Are you using Windows? If so, try checking “Disable DirectX D3D pipeline” in the preferences and restarting Vassal. Does that make any difference?
